| − | # '''Why are you devoted to keeping this sub-House alive against all odds?''' Earlier in my life, I wouldn´t be. Frankly, I detested Tanic for having the tenacity to call me home from a good life and then ttying me down to the fucking ball and chain of a satrapy, of all things. Slowly, though, it all made sense. As I grew into my new role, I began to reexamine everything I knew about the man - every meting between us, every letter that he sent, every word that he had spoken. As the true Tanic emerged, I felt a kinship to him that was closer than I had ever felt for anyone else. He was my father, and he was dead. I know what I had to do now - family matters, and that is all there is to it. As for pur enemies? Fuck them; fuck them all. I´ll show them how a Tanic fights. | + | # '''Why are you devoted to keeping this sub-House alive against all odds?''' |
| − | # '''The Dynasty isn't all about family. What loyalties and causes compete with your loyalty to House Peleps Taric?''' I have done my damnedest to pacify the satrapy not by playing the military card or by making the Dennu tribes fight one another - but to make the natives truly respect me as a leader and protector. They follow me now, as much as they follow anyone, and I enjoy the role that I am playing. Should it come to me having to sacrifice them or the satrapy itself... I honestly don´t know if I could give up what I have built. | + | # '''The Dynasty isn't all about family. What loyalties and causes compete with your loyalty to House Peleps Taric?''' Answer here. |

| − | # '''What have you openly achieved in the past century that makes you a worthy subject for historians of the next Age to investigate thoroughly?''' I am Peleps Tanic Sikandi! Who hasn´t heard about my exploits? From a young age I have traveled the face of Creation, exploring new lands and fighting beasts of legend! I have stalked the Lightless Jungles of Sur-Tepesh and faced the Darkness of the Inner Eye. I have had royalty of forgotten kingdoms as lovers and slaves, friends and enemies. I have returned at the helm of the White Crow Queen and recieved the adulations of the Imperial City! The common people read my stories and dream of being one of the followers who get to accompany me, the patricians write poems and ingratiate themselves, my Dynast cousins love and enve me in equal measure. I have amassed a treasure trove of forgotten artifacts, unique goods and the traces of ancient histories that will live on long past my own death. | + | # '''What have you openly achieved in the past century that makes you a worthy subject for historians of the next Age to investigate thoroughly?''' |
| − | # '''What weaknesses do you possess that aren't just personal failings, but could be exploited by your enemies to cost you the Game of Thrones? What are the fields of engagement where you can't just apply Game Theory analysis, but instead will act against your own interests?''' There was a time in my youth, during my adventures, when I delighted in causing awe in the people of the distant places that I traveled. I bested their every challenge, defeated their mightiest warriors, braved their dangerous places and slayed the monsters that had plagued them for ages. Was it really that unexpected that their adulation would become... more? It certainly felt right at the moment. I was more than a Scion of the earth - I was their goddess, and I was worshipped like one. It is not easy for one of the Host to be accused of heresy, but this would definitely qualify in the eyes of the Immaculate Order. I have long since sworn off these deluded follies, but sometimes... sometimes I can not help but fear my sins coming to light. | + | # '''What weaknesses do you possess that aren't just personal failings, but could be exploited by your enemies to cost you the Game of Thrones? What are the fields of engagement where you can't just apply Game Theory analysis, but instead will act against your own interests?''' Answer here. |
