The Red/Wicked One

[Miklu]

What is happening? First, I get a courier named "The Wicked One" and he dies immediately. He was a septon and high valyrian and when he died I got 1000 gold. I ignored it thinking he was just banished from somewhere and was very unlucky, but some time later I get another courier named "The Red One" and dies immediately as well:huh:. He was also a septon and high valyrian, and I gained 200 gold. I didn't realize to take screenshot of him.

I have just started watching Game of Thrones, so if they are spoilers from it and there are events tied to them, tell it and what episode they are from so I can suspend playing until I have watched it

This is most likely a bug, and not linked with spoilers. Do not play (and even explore the character screen from) the 282-300 AL scenarios until the series catch the 5th book (if you really plan on only watching the show).

Thanks. And I knew to play only the first bookmarks already

How strange, it's just the naming of the high septons (they have no name, just a description thingy like "the fat one" or the "wicked one") it's most definitely some kind of bug though.

The naming is probably just coming from nicknames.

Nicknames work on the format "X the Nickname" (e.g. "Aegon the Conqueror"). All High Septons lose their name upon being elected (i.e. their name changes to ""). That's to keep them just being called "High Septon" and not "High Septon Bob". The problem is that nicknames stay; generic septon "Bob the Wicked One" is elevated to the post of High Septon, and becomes "High Septon the Wicked One". At least that's my guess of what's going on.

It's explained in the books. Since the High Septons give up their names, people end up calling them things like "The Fat One" to differentiate one High Septon from another. This is shown in the mod. Therefore, only a High Septon can be nicknamed something like "The Wicked One" because those nicknames are exclusive to High Septons. Sadly, it kind of breaks the mold when a septon nicknamed "the Holy is elected, lol.

Couple of questions, are you using the Sons of Abraham DLC and what bookmark did you start from?
