The train is slowing down.
You look out the window to see the hills of the Ostmark, near the Prench border.

You're here to visit your brother Hanz in Prinzessinberg.

It's been a while since you've seen him. The letters from your mother said he'd met a nice mare and settled down here.

 No.613172

>>613168
Ack Hanz, how I have missed you. Move to the doors of the train and get ready to get off.

 No.613178

>>613168
It slowly stops.
The station is full of ponies.
Some soldiers probably going to the border.
Tradesponies heading for the capital.
You notice a grey pony with brown hair to the end of the station. That's Hanz.
He waves when he sees you!

 No.613180

>>613178
Wave back and walk up to him.
"Hanz, my bruder! How are yoü?"

 No.613183

>>613180
"I'm doing well! Did you have a good journey?"

 No.613186

>>613183
"Very good, thank yoü. When I heard the news from mother I knew I had to come visit."

 No.613189

>>613186
He starts walking out the station.
"Really? What did she say?"

 No.613193

>>613189
Follow him.
"That yoü have met a pony and grown close to her."

 No.613195

>>613193
"Indeed, I have.
And your prediction I'd have to marry a troll turned out to be untrue! You'll see for yourself she's a perfectly normal mare!"

 No.613197

>>613195
"Why do you think I came here so quickly?"

 No.613200

>>613197
He laughs.
"You caught me by surprised. I thought you were still in some foreign land."

Prinzessinberg is an old town. The buildings are of stone and richly decorated. The ponies here in the center are finely dressed and clearly of a high class.

 No.613203

>>613200
"No, oür latest contract ended last week so I hürried back over to Germaney."
Look around.
"Thoügh we are very close to Prance…"

 No.613208

>>613203
"It's not so bad. The border is still 10 kilometers away. When I got here, some ponies told me that there's secret Prench agents everywhere around here, but except for the Prench baker and a few traders, there's no secret agents.
I think it's all overblown. And besides, if worst came to worst, Prinzessinburg has never fallen to the Prench."

 No.613211

>>613208
"Well, I hope yoü will protect your mare well. Yoü were lücky enough to find her in the first place!"

 No.613213

>>613211
"Ha, those Prench can try. By now you're in the outskirts of Prinzessinberg. Homes are less frequent here and classic wooden style.
You many trees and a playground full of foals.
Eventually you get to a small house with a little porch.
The classic middle-class dream

 No.613214

>>613213
>can try"

 No.613217

>>613213
"That's a nice home to call home, brother."

 No.613221

>>613217
"Thanks! Once Alena saw it, we had to buy it at all costs."

 No.613225

>>613221
"Is she from Prinzessinberg?"

 No.613227

>>613225
"Yes, but we met in Stuttegart, believe it or not."

 No.613232

>>613227
"Well, that's nice. What does she do?"

 No.613233

>>613232
She's a kindergarten teacher.
As you step into the house a petite light blue mare with orange mane comes down.
"Hello! You must be Liesl! Such a pleasure to meet you." She gives you a polite hug

 No.613236

>>613233
"That's me! And you müst be the fräulein my brother spoke so highly of. It's nice to meet yoü too, Alena."

 No.613238

>>613236
"Oh, he told me great things about you. You're a landsknecht?"

 No.613240

>>613238
"Mhm, that is right. Serving leutnant in my company."

 No.613241

>>613240
She leads you to the living room.
"Amazing! I'm so jealous, you travel all around the world!"

 No.613242

>>613241
"Oh ja, I've been to many places because we are in such high demand. It's not a job for the homesick though."

 No.613244

>>613242
"Oh my, have you been to Equestria? Or Trotantium?"

 No.613245

>>613244
"Yes I have. Eqüestria, Trotantiüm, the crystal empire, Hyperborea… they're large markets for us."

 No.613249

>>613245
"I'm jealous." She pats her hubbie.
"When are we going to Equestria. I've heard Canterlot is so romantic."

 No.613250

>>613249
"Canterlot also has a lot of mages! You best watch out."
Wink at her.

 No.613253

>>613250
"Mages are not so bad, as long as they're not Prench!" She giggles.

 No.613255

>>613253
"Well, Eqüestria is a nice place to visit anyhow. I recommend it."

 No.613256

>>613255
"Hmmm, say, Liesl, would you be interested in dropping by the school tomorrow?"

 No.613257

>>613256
"The school? Why so?"

 No.613258

>>613257
"Part of what we teach the foals, in a simple way, is the glory of Germaney and our past.
Landsknechts are heroes to them. If you stepped by, just for a little while and talked about your adventures, you'd have made their year!"

 No.613260

>>613258
"Well süre I can do that. Anything for the German youth."

 No.613261

>>613260
"Great!" She pours a glass of wine for all of you. "Cheers!"

Some things you want to talk about?
Want to take a tour through the town?
Want to skip to the school the next day?
Want to know something about Alena or Hanz?

 No.613263

>>613261
Hmmmm…
"Hanz, tell me, how goes your work?"

 No.613266

>>613263
He works for the regional office.
"Hmmm, busy, busy. We've had our hooves full making the preparations for the winter. And on top of that, the Krieg Ministery has asked us for an evaluation of all the military outposts near the border. I've been visiting them all week."
He takes a sip from the wine.
"At this rate, I hope we'll still get the winter preparations done in time."

 No.613268

>>613266
"Do you think we're going to have a harsh winter this year?"

 No.613270

>>613268
He nods.
"I've seen the schedules of the Weermacht. They're planning an exceptionally cold winter. Officially because last winter was too warm. Between us, I've heard the Ministry is concerned about something called Ocuflies. It's supposed to be a new invention from the Oddomane Empire, tiny magical flies that can be sent to spy on the enemy. The Ministry thinks they'll freeze to death in a cold winter. Best solution until they can find something better."

 No.613273

>>613270
"Well, I likely won't be around to witness it anyway. I'm sure I'll be called to arms again soon enough."

 No.613274

>>613273
"Better to make the best of what we have then."
He looks at Alena.
"I think we better tell her already."
She nods.

 No.613275

>>613274
"Tell me…?"

 No.613277

>>613275
"Alene is pregnant!"

 No.613278

 No.613280

My eyes widen.
"You're jesting!"

 No.613283

>>613280
Alena shakes her head with a proud grin.
"We know from yesterday!"
Hanz chuckles. "I sent a letter to mom yesterday."

 No.613284

>>613283
Hanz you saucy bastard.
"All these things I miss oüt on! Congratülations!"

 No.613285

>>613284
Alena gives you a hug!
"In a few weeks, we'll know if it's a colt or a filly!"

 No.613287

>>613285
"Mein Gott, it's wonderfül news either way! Mother and father will be pleased."

 No.613289

>>613287
"I'm expecting some very long letter from mom any minute now."

 No.613291

>>613289
"Well, I shoüld start planning for the fütüre for this. Woüldn't want to miss oüt on my nephew or niece being born."

 No.613293

"Do you want to be his or her gottmutter?"

 No.613295

"Great! We couldn't be happier!"

 No.613298

>>613296
"Ach, I think you müst be feeling plenty happy already! This is a big step!"

 No.613299

>>613298
He nods.
"Honestly, I can't really grasp it just yet. A lot of things are going to change from now on."

 No.613300

>>613299
"Well, I'm here for you two if you ever need help. I may be gone a lot, but you can always reach me by mail."

 No.613302

>>613300
Skip to sleep?
Skip to school?
Other conversation?

 No.613303

>>613302
Let's skip to that school.

 No.613304

>>613303
The next day…
You make your way to the local kindergarten with Alena.
"You're gonna love them, they're so sweet!"

 No.613306

>>613304
"Oh I'm süre they are. How many children are there?"

 No.613310

>>613306
"20!"
You step into the large stone building. In the entrance hall hangs a Germane flag and a picture of the Kaiserin. And on either side of the Kaiserin a smaller portrait of Luna and Celestia, the Divine Sisters.

Some colts and fillies in a grey school uniform are hurrying to class.

 No.613311

>>613310
How adorable. Take off my hat and set it aside as I enter the building.

 No.613312

>>613311
"Just follow me. First we'll do the normal morning routine and then I'll introduce you. Was it the same with you? Good morning, teacher and then the anthem before class?"

Should be, it's average drilling in Germane schools. Could have been tougher if you want

 No.613313

>>613312
"Oh ja, this is all familiar territory."

 No.613315

>>613313
The foals are neatly waiting in two rows. When the teacher opens the door they walk in, not in a perfect march, but they're still foals right.
As everypony gets seated, Alena goes to her desk.
"Good morning, class."
"Good morning, teacher." say the foals.
"This is miss Von Trott. Greet her."
"Good morning, miss Von Trott".

 No.613317

>>613315
Bow my head slightly.
"Ein good morning."

 No.613318

>>613317
"Now class, time for the anthem."
The ponies all put their hoof to their chest, teacher too. And start singing

 No.613320

>>613318
Join in, of course!

 No.613321

>>613320
Does that need an impress roll?

 No.613322

>>613321
>>613320
Nah.
"Now, class. Miss Von Trott is a landsknecht."
For the first time, the silence is broken by gasps and very low whispers.
Most look with big eyes to you.
"Miss Von Trott is here to tell you about what's it like to be a landsknecht."

 No.613324

>>613322
"My kinder, I hope I can shed some light on the lifestyle of a landsknecht today."

 No.613325

>>613324
They are all silent, hanging on your lips

 No.613328

>>613325
"Before I start taking qüestions, who here is familiar with die landsknechten?"

 No.613345

>>613328
Many raise their hoof immediately, you see a colt in the back who hesitates but when he sees everypony raising his hoof, he does too.

 No.613965

>>613345
Point at one of the ponies who rose their hoof immediately.
"Ja? What do yoü know?"

 No.613966

>>613965
He stands upright.
"Landsknechten are mercenaries who go to foreign lands and have awesome adventures!"

 No.613968

>>613966
"Well, that is the gist of it. We are soldiers who go out in the world looking for trouble to solve for a price."

 No.613969

>>613968
A few other ponies raise their hooves.

 No.613970

>>613969
Pick one at random.
"Ja?"

 No.613971

>>613970
A filly
"Why do all landsknechten wear such colorful clothes?"

 No.613973

>>613971
I laugh.
"A good question! It's mostly tradition, our ancestors liked this type of clothing because it made them stand out more and thus universally recognized! Some landsknechten wear the colors of their province or town out of pride as well, but these days it really is mostly our traditional way of presenting ourselves."

 No.613974

>>613973
More raise their hoof, to facilitate posting, I'll just assume you take another question until time up or you want to move on.

A small colt speaks up.
"How long have there been landsknechten?" Up to you. Germaney has in one form or another existed for approximately 700 years already

 No.613977

>>613974
"Several centuries already actually. Us Germanes were always regarded as the most industrious of ponies so naturally other countries wanted our help while fighting wars."

 No.613982

>>613977
"My dad says landsknechten are no match for the Imperial Army!"

 No.613984

>>613982
I laugh.
"Comparing the two is a very silly thing to do. We're a specialized branch of soldiers, the imperial army is organized in other branches and specialties!"

 No.613990

>>613984
"Did you fight the Prench?"

 No.613992

>>613990
"Mmmm, yes we have on occasion. We're well trained when it comes to fighting spellcasters for sure."

 No.613993

>>613990
"What was it like?"
Alena frowns. "Siegfried, that's not an appropriate question."
"Sorry, miss Liesl…"

 No.613995

>>613993
"I'll spare you the details, but I can tell you the Prench are even flashier than us Landsknechte."
I grin at him.

 No.613998

>>613995
He grins too.
A small filly asks.
"M-may I s-see y-"
Alena speaks up. "Speak loud and clearly, Hanna."
"MayIseeyourswordmissliesl?"

 No.613999

>>613998
"Natürlich! No touching though, it is razor sharp!"
Unsheathe my sword in a swift motion and hold it above my head. I think an Impress roll is in order here.

Roll #1 3 + 10 = 13

 No.614001

>>613999
You overdo it and nearly cut off part of your own mane, luckily that doesn't matter for the little foals as they look in awe.

 No.614002

>>614001
"I forged it myself. As a landsknecht you're expected to be able to repair and patch up your own gear. You really pick up a lot of skills as a result."

 No.614004

>>614002
"How do I become a landsknecht?"

 No.614006

>>614004
"The recruiting process is very similar to the military, so don't worry. If you have the determination and guts for it, you'll get there if you want."

 No.614008

>>614006
"What is the biggest enemy you've ever fought?"

 No.614011

>>614008
I chuckle.
"Do overweight Prench mages count?"

 No.614012

>>614011
The foals laugh.
Alena speaks up.
"Well, that was wonderful but our time is up. Say goodbye to miss Von Trott, foals."
"Goodbye, miss Von Trott."

 No.614015

>>614012
Nod my head slightly.
"Work hard, meine kinder."

 No.614016

>>614015
Alena leads you out.
"Thanks for dropping by. They'll be talking about this for weeks." she says once the door is closed.

 No.614017

>>614016
Take her hoof.
"Anything for my brother's significant other. You're doing Celestia's work out here teaching these youngsters. If they ever misbehave, leave them to me for a day."

 No.614018

>>614017
She winks.
"I'll keep it in mind."

 No.614019

>>614018
"Gut. I will see you later."

 No.614022

>>614019
Time to go.
Time for a walk in Prinzessinburg?
Something else?

 No.614024

>>614022
I can go for a walk. See the place my brother calls home now.

 No.614026

>>614024
Prinzessinburg is one of the oldest cities of Germaney. But because of its proximity large parts of the town have been destroyed and rebuilt throughout its long history, making a weird mish mash at times of different architecture.
The most authentic part of town is the Old City, you could visit the famous beer gardens or see the outside of the Stutwanstein or the walls of the city that only have been breached once.
The Cathedral to the Princesses if you're feeling religious

 No.614028

>>614026
Normally I would be drawn to the beer gardens, but I feel religious today. I will go see the cathedral.

 No.614030

>>614028
The immense gothic cathedral dominates the landscape. A glorious testament to the glory of the Princesses…and the heroic sacrifice of the fallen. Many of the dead of the wars fought near here are buried in the catacombs of this cathedral.
It is dark in the cathedral and so silent, as if ponies still feel the chill of the dead. At the end, centerpiece are the two statues of the Princesses, Luna and Celestia. Their stone smile looks kindly upon the ponies lighting a candle in their honor.
To the side, flanked by two Imperial guards is a monument to the Unknown Soldiers.
The walls are decorated with paintings. Of the Grand Crusade against Discord, Canterlot, Bridlin and the First Kaiser.

 No.614034

>>614030
Hmmm, there's something about these kind of temples which puts my mind at ease. I'm not a hugely religious pony… but still. I should light a candle. Brighten up this darkness.

 No.614036

>>614034
To the Sun or the Moon? Or one for both?
You notice a smaller shrine that seems new tucked to the side.
It's a small statue to the Crystal Princess, with an offering of roses.

 No.614038

>>614036
I'll light a candle for each. Even that other princess. I don't care much for her or those diamond ponies, but I'm sure she must have done something right if she has statues lying around.

Now… any cute nuns walking around?

 No.614039

>>614038
Sisters blessing. You have +1 to Cha until the Sun goes down.
(Editors note: might change it into something better later)

Roll Notice for qt nuns

 No.614041

>>614039
They shall not escape my gaze.

Roll #1 8 + 10 = 18

 No.614044

>>614041
You sneakily check around and see a qt blue mare nun with a red mane and speckles bringing roses to the Cadance statue

 No.614045

>>614044
Hmmm, maybe she can enlighten me.

Trot after her cheerily.

 No.614047

>>614045
She lays some flowers at the shrine.
She looks to you with a smile.
"Hail, landsknecht."

 No.614049

>>614047
"Guten tag, fraülein. I noticed you have a third inanimate occupant here."
Gesture to the smaller shrine.

 No.614051

>>614049
"Ah yes, the Crystal Princess. The Princess of Love, a new star in the pantheon."

 No.614053

>>614051
"I don't mean to be rude, but what makes her worthy of her position? Surely she can't be as powerful as the Equestrian princesses?"

 No.614054

>>614053
"By no means, but Love has always been a minor godess, creating bonds of friendship and happiness among ponies under the protection of the Moon and the Sun and now Love has deemed a pony worthy to embody Her. Cadance now rules the Crystal Empire, loyal to her big Sisters."

 No.614055

>>614054
"Are you a fan of love, fraülein?"

 No.614056

>>614055
"It is a beautiful virtue, is it not?"

 No.614057

>>614056
"Oh ja, very beautiful. No coincidence that you in particular are tending to the shrine."

 No.614058

>>614057
She grins. "Are you perhaps seeking advice in matters of Love?"

 No.614059

>>614058
"In a way… I süppose so."
Smile at her playfully.

 No.614153

>>614059
"Is this a private matter?"

 No.614158

>>614153
"Well, that depends on your preferences I süppose…"

 No.614161

>>614158
"I see…"
She looks at you.
"…maybe we can talk it over with a drink."

 No.614164

>>614161
"Wunderbar!"

 No.614166

>>614164
"Let me just grab a coat."

 No.614168

>>614166
"Don't let me stop you."
Put on my hat again.

 No.614170

>>614168
She comes back.
To a little cafe? To beer gardens?

 No.614172

>>614170
The beer gardens, now that's truly Germane!
"Do you mind drinking beer, fraülein?"

 No.614175

>>614172
She smirks.
"Oh…I don't drink much, but I can handle one or two."

 No.614176

>>614175
"Very gut! Come!"

 No.614177

>>614176
The beer garden is a large field near the center of town. The field has large apple trees to lean again and plentiful colorful flower, and soft grass to lay or roll in. The apples and flowers are imbued with magic to make them alcoholic in nature, giving a nice sidedish for the average consumer.
In the middle is a large round wooden bar, with immense wooden barrels to sate the thirsty.
During some weekends this place is packed with ponies.
It's a work day however, so now there are just a few.

 No.614179

>>614177
I miss work…
Sit down at one of the tables and ask for some refreshments.

 No.614182

>>614179
You both get a big tankard of beer.

 No.614184

>>614182
Down some of it immediately.
"So fraülein, what is your name? Are you a follower of any alicorn in particular?"

 No.614185

>>614184
She takes a good sip as well.
"Hmmm, I'm Freya and I used to be a priestess solely dedicated to the Sisters. But after a study trip to the Empire I realized I was needed to spread the word of the new Princess."

 No.614189

>>614185
"Did you meet ze princess?"

 No.614191

>>614189
"Yes, very briefly. I was in awe of her kindness and beauty."

 No.614192

>>614191
"Beauty, you say? I guess the princess of love must be beautiful."

 No.614193

>>614192
"Would be a bummer if she wasn't."

 No.614194

>>614193
"I appreciate beauty in my life. Going to war is hell sometimes, but coming back here to ze beer garden and sharing a drink with a cute mare soothes all those old wounds."

 No.614195

>>614194
"Then I must be doing something right as a priestess. Have you been gone from Germaney for a long time?"

 No.614196

>>614195
"Ja… almost a year. Und I will need to leave again sooner rather than later."

 No.614197

>>614196
"Then you should make the best of your time here…"

 No.614198

>>614197
"Hmmm, ja indeed. Why do you think I approached you in particular?"

 No.614199

>>614198
"You needed some spiritual comfort?"
Her sly smile suggest she already knows there's more.

 No.614200

>>614199
"Ah… I would love some comforting, frau Freya."

 No.614201

>>614200
"Do you want a private session to discuss spiritual matters? At my place?"

 No.614202

>>614201
"Sure. Just let me finish mein beer."
Chug that motherfucker down.

 No.614203

>>614202
She drinks as well and you take off to her place. It's a quiet enough little cottage. you're struck by the amount of crystal empire memorabilia.

 No.614204

>>614203
Oooooh, this is nice.
"This stuff looks expensive."
