RimWorld Hedge Knights – Dire Times // EP45

╔ My Twitch channel: https://rhadamant.com/twitch/
╚ Website with my Schedule: https://rhadamant.com

» Overview:
– Hedge Knights is a story about a civilization in the golden era of their medieval age invaded by monstrous visitors that push them to the brink of extinction. The story focuses around a small group of squires who are tasked with finding a way to support their community who are on starving and homeless.

– Because it is a roleplaying series I will not be attempting to play any sort of ‘meta’, and additionally I am not interested in feedback to suggest that I play ‘meta’. The purpose of this series is to tell a story, not to min/max RimWorld.

– This is a roleplaying story series and therefore is not intended for people to play along ( so the save game file will not be shared ). Some of the most important mods for the series will be shared in a section below if you want to try to mimic the series for your own enjoyment. You also may assume that any details about this series that I have omitted I have omitted for a reason ( like scenario, rules, goals, mods, character skills, ideology, etc ), so I won’t be sharing that information until it becomes relevant to the story.

» Current Goals ( These will change over the course of the series ):
– Stay Alive.
– Keep the bison alive.
– Build an encampment able to support a larger population.

» Important Mods Used:
– Rimedieval
– Medieval Overhaul
– Xenotype Spawn Control
– Pollution Tweaks

» Intro Narrative:
– We are Adlets, the once proud sovereigns of a lush and beautiful planet. Many years ago the peace, prosperity and progress brought about by the Adlet kingdoms came to an abrupt and brutal end. Our ancestors were visited by sky chariots of silver and fire. The charioteers were cloaked in glowing robes and carried ornate staves, but they made no attempt at diplomacy. They surveilled our lands and left as soon as they arrived, leaving us bewildered and wonderstruck.

– The following winter we were revisited, but not by sky chariots. Monsters rained down from the sky and hunted us Adlets with monstrous ferocity and determination. The visitors swept the land killing and butchering, sparing no one. Millions of us died that winter as our weapons, armor and castle walls were completely ineffective. We were driven to near complete extinction, forced to hide in caves or on tiny islands concealed from the unabated slaughter.

– As the story goes, the following winter the vast majority of the visitors disappeared, leaving behind metallic castles heavily guarded by lethal metallic behemoths. The metallic castles spewed poison into the winds, and over generations the castles spread blight and rot across all of the land. Sightings of the monstrous visitors were rare and the lucky survivors of such sightings insist the visitors were adorned by the weapons and armor of our ancestors and seek to hunt us Adlets as if for sport.

– For generations we cowered in hiding, scavenging what little food we could source from the blighted oceans or fungi from the sheltered caves. For the last ten generations we have sent out scouts to explore for new lands untouched by the visitors, either to return empty handed or not to return at all, assumed dead. Last summer one of our scouts told a tale of a forest pocked by tiny glades of healthy grass and tall trees. Her entire cohort had been slaughtered and the elders were not sure if such tales were hallucinations of trauma, or indeed true.

– Our island’s coast and caves no longer provide enough food to sustain our people. Our elders have tasked us squires to take two pack animals and leave the safety of our tiny island enclave in search of the fabled glades. After a week of evading hunting parties and avoiding metallic behemoths we headed deeper inland into the blighted forests. We finally stumbled upon a tiny pristine glade nestled deep in the heart of occupied territory. With meager rations and simple tools we plan on setting up a new settlement here, unsure of the horrors we may face ahead. This is our story.
