Hey, Avolition, how's the turn going?
I've recently revisited
this article, on a goblin Master of Malladang, just to finish the story and make the article complete. As I was transcribing the few glimpses from Legends Viewer, I discovered that this guy was a hidden chad. Only in hindsight can I notice that he corrupted this person and that for obscure reasons, the first time I just thought "skippable goblin plots, no big deal". I did notice at first that he started in a goblin civilization different than Malladang, but I figured there must have been *reasons* for him to ascend. Besides, he'd just been ran out of Odiuse by an undead incursion unrelated to Oddom a century after the decisive battle of
Okgush Irka after he'd been ran out of a town for being part of a dwarven religion, was writing poetry and was living in a fort. Then on Galena 22, 560 out of a sudden he
coups Malladang. This is only
the second ever coup I have ever found (and is likely to exist before year 700) in Orid Xem. Up until 700 he travels to the caverns and tames Voracious Cave Crawlers, Cave Crocodile, Giant Cave Toads and Giant Rats. Then, from 700 to 749, everything Malladang has done until (and during) his rule comes crashing down on him, at least 3 of the human civs try to destroy his stronghold in
12 battles which he
personally leads and wins. Unscathed. He's finally killed in 780 by Nethrez (QD). But what a run did he have! The insane warrior poet whose idea of "ruling the world" started with couping the most hated civilization in Orid Xem after (or rivaling) Oddom's.
Somewhat related, is Moldath considered
a coupist? How did he even rule Adilatir without killing the ruler at the time? Is Kothvir? Is Avolition? Is Jas? Does killing the Kings/Queens until you get their throne count as a coup?
