Hello,
I am starting my HeroQuest game in Esvular soon. Some of the player-characters will be from far-off lands, a pretty mixed group like the one in the HQ rulebook, but most of my NPCs will be strictly local Esvulari.
Here's what I'd like to know:
Since we will be playing in my version of 1621/22 S.T.,
this is technically after the Lunar conquest of Heortland.
Since Esvular is a kingdom in the southernmost portion
of Heortland, I assume it, too, was conquered in 1620.
So, in short: How much does the Lunar military presence
affect day-to-day life in an Esvulari town, especially
Durengard or Duchamp?
How many Lunar soldiers are walking around there?
Are the Imperial soldiers taking over policing duties
from the local town guards? Can they make random
arrests, harrass the townspeople, and so on?
Have missionaries begun to influence the population?
If so, which cults from the Empire are being promoted?
Are the Lunars trying to actively strengthen the position
of the Aeolian Church, as a bulwark against the
traditionalist Orlanth-worshipping Hendreiki in the
countryside?
In general, how obvious is the Lunar Imperial "win" over
the kingdom?
Related questions are, for example:
How many villages near Durengard are Aeolian, how many are
"real" Orlanthi who never joined the church?
Is there a ratio you would recommend?
I assume Bandal Tigerbane is not about to be deposed
(and I don't want him to be), so is he a sympathizer of
the Lunars? Is there a governor he answers to?
