Who are the Calvedonians?

Western inventors of Fireblood, who in SPAMKINGDOM+ sold some stuff to Tven (or did Tven spies got it? I don't remember), which allowed first Blackheart cannons to be produced. The trade lasted for only a while but was enough to help kickstart Fireblood making in this region.

Hmm. Is there anything unique or 'strange' about the Luathbasian cultures/peoples that make them stick out from the neighboring peoples? Like the Parsians, Damdamians, and even the Eldricans to some extent seem to be quite culturally different from us so it'd be kinda cool to know how Luathbasians look to them. Also how have the Gupta been doing since we kicked Parsia's ass for them? Also also how do they feel about us after we kicked Parsia's teeth in?

Luathbasians are source of warriors and magnet for strange beings since time immemorial, so sayeth foreign books (and that's why you should be wary of Luathbasians).

Gubta are busy recovering... and stuff. I don't think they've noticed your assistance.

That's actually pretty awesome. Though I think we beat who ever this world's Charlemagne is to the whole Empire business. Unless Cyl would count as this world's Charlemagne? Cause I'm pretty sure the Damdamians were suppose to be kinda like this world's Romans and their empire was kinda collapsing when Cyl came around to start punching everyone's teeth in. Though that make this a little early for him to be a Charlemagne figure.

And most of them died horribly too!

Yeah sounds about right. Though Cyl was a lot better at surviving than King Arthur. Cause damn I was actually starting to think he'd find a way to live forever if he kept surviving on and on like he did. Like I'm pretty sure he's the oldest ruler we've ever had.

Cyl specifically chose not to pursue longer life. I like to think on that day, the reaper breathed a sigh of relief.

Oldest 'player' character at age of death and longest-reigning ruler of SPAMKINGDOMs, yes ;v

From NPCs only Queen Dogethe of Cydwyl comes close; she died in 1125 IIRC and I remember having her fighting against Yoe I in 1081, and she succeeded to the throne in 1082 and if by 'late twenties' we take on her introduction as being about 28, that gives us ~43 years of rule and ~72 years old at time of death v;

Since we're roughly analogous to the pre-Charlemagne pagan Saxons with celtic influences do we have any religious traditions that seem particularly "strange" or "savage" to our southern/eastern/western neighbors? Well besides the whole conflicting Polytheism/Monotheism traditions that separate us and our southren/western neighbors. Not really including our northern neighbors since they seem pretty religiously similar to us.

Pantheonism also makes use of sacrifices of animals. No one else around here does that, except Parsians (who sacrifice bulls and donkeys specifically).

I have a question about marriage, specifically whom'st(?) dynasty children belong to.
Most of the time children will always belong to the dynasty of the male, but sometimes they belong to the female although that is rare.
You would need a special marriage for that to happen. How does this go in Spamkingdom? does this work the same?
 
In the case of our current female ruler will the child be of her dynasty(i actually don't know the name of her dynasty) or of Cyl
Also since bjern died his wife (Empress Ruberta I) is now the ruler, but she is from a different dynasty then bjern meaning that his dynasty (also dont know the name) is going to end with his daughter Rinilda
so we have 3 dynasty's 1 is of Rinilda 1 of Ruberta and 1 from Cyl.
seeing as 2 of these three dynasty lines could abruptly end could there be conflict? And how important are the dynasty lines in this world?
