Denmark sounds like a good place. A pleasant mix of chaos and order. We should fix right in. We should probably try to restore our order some how in case we need to use it for our purposes. Run the idea past bulk just to make sure he knows your likely to use your order powers for chaos.

As you attempt to explain to Bulk Vanderhuge what you're going to try to do and justify the use of Order, he stops you.

"Relax." He smiles knowingly. "Lots of the Chaos Initiates dabble in Order. Hell, we lose a few to it every once in a while. What's important here, though, isn't the small things. I have no objection to most laws. I'm not psychotic and I'm not an anarch. I'm even okay with people having authority over others, if they're responsible with it. But when it comes to the wicked ones who abuse Order's power to dominate those 'beneath' them for their own sick amusement-" You notice his eyes taking on the faint red glow of Chaos that they had during the fight; the knuckles of his hand, you notice, have turned white, and small trickles of blood run from where his fingernails dig into his palm. "That's when you need devotees of Chaos to step in. It's not about blindly challenging authority and institutions wherever you find them, but about being willing to challenge authority and institutions when they would crush those under them. To smash the state if it dares to tread upon the people." His fist relaxes. "So if you need to reinforce Order to regain access to Order abilities, that's fine. Just make sure you choose the right sources of Order to support, okay?"

Alrighty then.. He is chaotic good. Seriously Chaotic good. Note to self Do not stomp on the populance around this guy.
And it's probably best not to mention how we killed the king. Wait can we check our memories of the king to see if he deserved it?
I want to stay on bulks good side, he seems alright with us being in charge for now but if he decide we belong on the wrong side of the chopping block he's gonna take us apart without even thinking about crown prince or not.

Your late father was neither exceptional nor bad as a ruler: he was not unfair; he had a penchant for temporarily raising taxes to support public works projects; he discontinued his father's traditions of spending royal treasury gold on excesses of wine, women, opium, and pointless "border wars" with nations separated from the British Empire's homeland by the sea. Had he followed a great king, he would look useless by comparison. Having followed a terrible king, he was a comfortingly sane ruler. The battlecaster-led colonization under his rule of the African lands to the south has been efficient without being brutal, though the expedition to Cathay led to some idiot captain offending the national pride of some Cathayan battlecasters, "Jade Demons," who sunk his command ship without leaving the shore and sent the rest of the fleet home in shame. Other than that incident, there'd been little to complain about under your father's rule. You like to think that was as true for all classes as it was for you and the other nobles, though you admit you honestly aren't sure.

You find yourself unwilling to think about why you actually stabbed him.

... Wait...

You probe yourself mentally by thinking about specific circumstances before or after. You recall going to talk to him about a messenger from... from...

You have a godsdamned mental block in your mind. Your reluctance to think about the circumstances of the king's death wasn't just because you killed your father. But any mind-altering Arts Arcane are highly illegal... the royal library has information on them as a matter of historical importance, but not even the royal family is legally permitted to use them.

This is almost as disconcerting as his death itself.

Briefly trying to distract ourselves from the horror of the subject, we use that saved level for FRANCAIS!
Nous sommes français et fiers à ce sujet.

Anyway, we can't really do so, and we realize we need to find a curer. So naturally we ask Bulk who likes to read about curing mind-warping spells.

Oh, just for reference, you may in Denmark encounter ways of gaining classes like going on a troll hunt with the Vikings or the like. If you do seek to gain NEW POWAR you can save your level for there. Also, any Arts Arcane or Alchemy you wish to learn from others will require levels and an appropriate teacher.

Don't spend it on french.  Wait until we get another class.  We should dabble in everything rather than being specialized.  As for actions, continue heading to Denmark.  I suddenly really like Bulk.  He is a chaotic good person who dislikes corrupt authority and likes reading.  Better than his previous personality of random chaos guy who stabs order people.

...So am I correct in he doesn't mind groups and organisations, as long as they don't go abusing their power? So if we become king (or at least jump up onto the throne) and be good but not inherently chaotic, he won't kill us?

Bulk doesn't like large organizations/bureaucracies, but he understands that they are not inherently bad. As an extremely individualistic Chaos Knight, he emphasizes individual actions - the problem with organizations is not merely in their being organizations but in people they give power becoming abusive or exploitative.

I say we save that level for a while ... At least until we find what other classes we can level in I'm thinking there will be Viking, Trollblood and berserker in denmark, probably some other order related ones too. Also who's the current king of the danes?

What is with you people and French. It's really great for running away. Like a coward. Which is what French people are. Cowards.

I'm not saying we should put our points in Irish. But we should put our points in Irish.

 The french actualy have a pretty decent track record for their military. I mean aside from their crushing defeat against VASTLY superiour forces in wwII. I mean How many modern generals are as famous as Napolean? He is still regarded as one of the greatest military generals of all time.
