    The Story of Autismo, Brother of the King

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 01:49 AM PST

    Once, there was a man destined for greatness. Starting as a King of but a small duchy, he would go on to rule an Empire. A man of towering intellect and martial skill, none could stand against him in battle and win. Beloved of the Pope, liberator of Christians, the man who would be known as the 'White Knight' of Britannia.

    But this isn't a story about him. This is a story the bards tell with equal amounts respect and honor. This is the story of Autismo, Brother of the King.

    Autismo was born at the tail end of a line of children to the King of Mercia. Unknown to the King, his wife had been drinking quite heavily during her pregnancy and thus his son was born ill of body and mind. Named Autismo, he was largely left to his own devices, written off and ignored.

    Meanwhile the heir to the throne, Aethelstan, climbed heights unparalleled. Born of a genius intellect he quickly mastered the arts of war and his own fear. At the age of 16 he became a commander of his fathers army and learned the ways of Chinese warfare from a strategist employed by the King. He was virtuous and noble, an example to all.

    While his brothers legend grew, Autismo found his own path. Despite his shortcomings he found his calling in stewardship, learning from merchants and stewards how to properly administer a realm, possibly helped by an obsession with details. While definitely no expert warrior, he nonetheless picked up some things, helped by being physically brawny. He was a kind soul and well liked. Harmless.

    Autismo was 18 when his father died of consumption. Aethelstan inhereted a Kingdom ravaged by disease. Fresh off a victory that saw Essex and Wessex bow to his rule, Aethelstan had no short list of people who'd rather see him dead. Observing his advisors, he had to make a decision on who he could trust. He found the perfect candidate in his brother Autismo, whom he put in charge of the economy.

    Autismo quickly proved himself exellent in his new position, frequently suggesting improvements to be made to his brother which saw great benefits that quickly restored their diseased lands. After Aethelstan conquered Middlesex and moved the capital to Westminster, he put his brother in charge as Mayor of London as a token of gratitude.

    Where Aethelstan marched, his brother was close at hand. Through the subjugation of the Welsh Kingdoms and attending the coronation, as his brother became the King of England after bringing their main rivals in Northumberland to heel. By now even his most staunch detractors views Aethelstan with pride.

    A challenge then presented itself in the form of the Kingdom of Scotland. Though made up of disparate tribes Aethelstan found himself stimied by the Popes refusal to hear his calls for a claim on the Kingdom. While he pondered how best to approach this issue, he busied himself with tidying up the far less organised tribes if Ireland. London prospered under Autismo, and taxes flowed freely, funding his rapid conquests. As it would turn out, fate would intervene to see the brothers achieve greatness.

    The Vikings of Denmark and Norway had been a thorn in the side for some time, launching frequent raids which while not particularly successful were becoming frustrating to deal with. Then, at their height, they launched an invasion of Scotland and swiftly took it over. Aethelstan saw his chance and declared a Holy War to liberate those Christian lands from heathen hands.

    The first saw rapid success. Weaked from their initial invasion, the Danish armies were unable to repel the assault. Fearing only the judgement of God, Aethelstan broke the truce once more and continued his push, the lands he liberated cheered his arrival, happily swearing fealty.

    The last great push came to an end in a single battle. The King of Denmark himself took the helm, a fearsome man of many battles and armed with some kind of hammer of strange majicks. Pagan fervor met holy wrath that day and both armies locked in fierce combat. During the battle, Aethelstan suffered his first and only setback, but one which cost him dearly. Distracted by the decapitation of what was presumably his 40th Pagan head, he was unprepared for the arrow which soared towards him. Some say he displayed only momentary shock, his eyes filling with realisation before his vision filled with blood. But, shockingly, not his own. Autismo had thrown himself in front of the arrow meant for his brother, which had gone right through his chest, horrifyingly wounding him. Aethelstan stayed by his side and ordered a medic to escort Autismo from the field, before tearing off across the pitched battlefield to wreak bloody vengence. He found it in the King of Denmark. Single combat saw Aethelstan victorious, but battered and bruised in the process. The Danish army was vanquished, the survivors, including their King himself, wounded from the duel, retreating to their ships. Scotland was liberated, finally uniting the British Isles.

    As Autismo was recovering from his wounds, Aethelstan proclaimed the mighty Empire of Britannia and was crowned by the Pope, suitably impressed with his efforts to crush the heathen invaders. Shortly thereafter Aethelstan was named The White Knight, a true exemplar of all Christendom, his bloodline forged for all time.

    Sadly, with great victory comes tragedy. Autismo would not survive his injuries, dying shortly after his brothers corronation. Bards tell of how Aethelstan, ever stoic, attended his brothers funeral with his trademark steel gaze, but, at night, in his bedchambers, could be heard weeping.

    Such is the tale of the brothers who united warring Kingdoms and tribes to a mighty Empire, forged in blood, battle and faith. Let their legend reign forever in the anals of their dynasty.

    What heresies are worth considering?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 10:51 AM PST

    So, I've looked up the heresies of religions and most seem to be a straight downgrade from their main religion.

    E.g.: Lollards, if I wouldn't do a run that I later convert to EU4 I wouldn't ever consider accepting that heresy for any of my rulers. Similar to Iconoclast, which is just a lesser version of Orthodox (i.e. it doesn't allow you to use the weeping angel statue).

    Some heresies on the other hand seem like a pretty good alternative (e.g. Cathar or Bogomilist) or straight up better (e.g. Fraticelly is basically catholic with ducal pope, or Yazidi)

    ​

    So now to my question: Which heresies do you think are worth considering?
