Khazaria is quite the land grab! How easy is it in CK3 to destroy secondary empire titles?

Hard. And it would be automatically recreated upon death. If not primo. Then I think it won't be.

Have the Rurikids convert to Orthodoxy, try to convince the patriarch that they're a dynasty of holy fools. :D

Just the right amount of snark in this entry, perhaps spurred on by the crazy king.

Silly professor just expects us to know medical terms like that, now?
How evil that professor must be! Doesn't he know if you picked up that heavy dictionary it might give you a stroke? Even pointing out you likely have an electronic dictionary in your computer might give this poor undergraduate student a stroke.

His 11 year-old son Húnthjófr inherits Gardarikie, while Khazaria goes to his breother Búi. How on Earth am I supposed to be able to pronounce that name if we get an oral exam?
Now, I'm hoping the final is indeed an oral exam.

High King Áli “the Impaler”
Great nickname. Once achieved, the rest is downhill :p
Gosh, dividing up all lands between heir, such a recipe for failure…
It really is an ebb and flow, but I guess makes it interesting to play.
Is his wife naked...?
Wraith11B, asking the pertinent questions since 2008. :D
Well tbh I was wondering the same thing. Wraith just got his question in first. A naturist for Empress? Or a bit of a Lady Godiva thing happening?

Student's getting frustrated, I think. :D

Have you MET a 19 year old student? Do you KNOW how frustrating such beings can be? :p

Me too! As I said, I can (probably) pronounce it myself, so this is all this student. :p
Great nickname. Once achieved, the rest is downhill :p
And he's not even the craziest in this story. Just you wait.

Well, yes. And no. It's frustrating, and it also gives possibilities for story.

Well, no. This was all him, and that Swedish king. But when these characters die, they get clothed, so you didn't get to see the gloriously naked men I did.

Frithjof! Now, it is clear why @Nikolai is a war-monger. He is a peace-thief!
Impressive! Did you actually check its meaning, or did you already know?

I checked.
Still impressive. :) The meaning of the name is either peaceful thief of peace thief, as far as I know the experts are not in agreement.

High King Húnthjófr of Gardariki
High King Húnthjófr of Gardariki (975-979)

  • A footnote in history. Rebels demanded the dissolution of the empire, and his brother in Khazaria met the same demand. They both fought in each other’s wars.
  • Barely managed to fight it to a white peace.
  • Then he was murdered and the brother inherited. Guy didn’t even live to his majority.

  • Professor promised the next lecture would be more interesting. Today I should have stayed in bed instead. More interesting.

That's more like it, a proper ridiculously short lived ruler in accordance with the traditions of the dynasty.

I feel for the student here, the professor has made a bit of a mistake making it one ruler per lecture, either cramming too much in or spending too long on non-entities like Hfloglforfrsdfofolorg the Unpronounceable. Poor lesson planning. ;)

Just wait until you meet the guy called "the Unworthy" ;)

Hopefully he can achieve peak Rurikid performance, which I imagine to be dying/getting killed while being crowned as High King in order to get the shortest possible reign.

What if I told you he will reign 52 long years? ;)
