Crusader Kings breeding on the day that Crusader Kings 3 is released. Oh the hilarity of coincidences.

No offence author but this chapter just felt like a whole lot of ranting about inconsequential things.

Love the CK reference on the day of CK3 release lol

Ah, so that's why no airships. Don't know if EU4 belongs in that list. There's not much control over the characters or breeding, just which nations you have marriages with.

I'd prefer Aeon to go the meritocracy route to tell you the truth. It might be harder to do but if he can figure out how to transfer these hereditary traits to anyone like he does with classes it not only makes it less morally ambiguous but it also gives him more flexibility and his kingdom a higher ceiling. Hell he can go a step further and work with making sentient monsters and creatures in his realm super soldiers as well so that he has a diverse powerful roster of elite troops. More interesting that way. Nobles also turn out to be assholes/less competent due to their attitude and less worldly experience.

Dominic French

If he gains the knowledge and capacity to make people/sentient monsters super-soldiers after they are born and not just before he can also use it as one of his rewards to attract competent and Loyal personal.

I think that while that's a viable path to take, it kinda goes against nature. Nature already has a system in place: let time weed out the less adaptable. I mean, the nobles are in politial power, but how much power do they really have if they have to hide behind walls to survive against demons? I would even argue that it's their incapability to adapt that requires heroes to come in the first place, which feeds back in them not trying to adapt, and thus becomes a vicious circle. Oh, and let's not forget Aeon has been around for only 130 years and already created one super-soldier in that girl whose name I forgot. Finally, I feel like it would take the focus out of Aeon if he actually succeeded. It would also take out some of the flavor of a nature-focused path that I have learned to enjoy so much reading this novel. I both except and wante a buffed Aeon with buffed nature minions, not a super-hero story. Just to be clear, this is just my humble opinion. You're all free to disagree ^^

If we consider that it is the gods who send the heroes, means that the noble's actually "adapted" properly you know. They evolved to see that Demon Kings are something they have no chance against and walls provide better survival chances than open terrain. The problem is not the title of a noble but the cultural baggage that got needlessly attached and weigh it down. Now, we all could go down the rabbithole of cultural and social study's, but let us cut this short and agree that leaders are a necessity for a society to function more effectively and efficiently. It's not the current noble's fault that "noble traditions" are part of their mandatory education. The fact that many lineages and dynasties have beneficial skills attached to them is actually rather predictable. Consider that every damn noble family will be able to point out, that their lineage has atleast one heroes bloodline mixed in to some degree. More importantly Aeon is trying to be political, or atleast have political cloud aside from his military forces, and arranged marriages with royalty would do just that. And his Valthorns are the closest thing Aeon has, whose wellbeing he is interested in. Even the council would be more of a "clerks office" or a "bunch of secretaries", while the Valthorns can atleast be considered as a "Order of Knights". Just my oppinion though.

I like moral suffering in this chapter for once. MC does not lament choices he made, but he's hesitating over the choices to do, and he's disappointed by what he discovered about the world. It's much more relatable for me. I'm surprised that allied kingdoms are given a seat in council. I had an impression that they did not submit completely, so why were they given a seat?

Leaored

The decision of the big matters completely depends on Aeon so it doesn´t matter if they are there or not because they can only give their opinion on small matters related to their own kingdoms. The reason why they let them in the council is not a matter of trust, it is simply a way to make them feel like they are the ones in power so that they rebel too much but always reminding them that Aeon´s will is above them all.
