🕑 Added 2021-03-02 22:43:07 +0000 UTCAs outlined in the more general announcement I put up before this, here are the choices for the April extra chapter. One vote per patron and the poll closes on the 7th. The option with the most votes will be put up on the next extra chapter day, the 2d of April.
Stranger
A piece centered on Hanno and Antigone, set in the years they spent under the tutelage of the Gigantes.
Adamant
A character study of Klaus Papenheim, the Iron Prince.
Beatification I
The first of at least two pieces on the past of Laurence de Montfort, the Saint of Swords.

She recounted that story at Third Liesse, with the Salutory Physician that was keeping nobility alive past their natural lifespan in exchange for favours and blood sacrifices.
Damn joined as a patron late, would've loved to see some Hanno! Glad to see the poll idea driving this content though :)

It'd also end up neater than just dumping all the chapters in a row at the end of the book, too. It's a good idea, I will.

Can I request please that you put a placeholder for the chapter (eg “Title” “This is a Patreon supporter-only chapter, link here”) on your main Wordpress site, for two reasons: (1) it will remind me to come here to read it; (2) it will hopefully drive subscriptions.

I agree with a Laurence story. The name, for one, but who hurt her and epically? She has NO chill and there's a story there.

Antigone is so interesting to read about. More!

The options that weren't picked will show up again at least once, but if the same one keeps getting the least votes I'll likely pull it out of the rotation.

Laurence !!

If it makes you feel better, IIRC Laurence used to hook up with Klaus so there's decent odds he still gets screentime at least.

Infiniman, Klaus is really cool and all. And as a German he and his kind are the "me" people in the story. But Saint as a genocidal good guy is such a novel concept. Rational german army man isn't.

Will the alternate choices be gone forever if they don't win, or will they be present in later polls?
Man, I'm honestly shocked that everyone left my boy Klaus in the dust here. When I saw Saint on there, I knew she would win, but when I clicked I at least thought Klaus would make second place! I'm still voting for him anyway. At least we get to learn more about Saint.

Please more Saint. I don't think she was gone too soon from the story, but her past is too intriguing to not read more about.
Bret Bemis
Man I have serious respect for Klaus and I would like to learn a bit more about his past. But we really need to see the absolute depths of heroism and villainy that the Saint was clearly forged by

I wanna know more about Laurence. I'm really hoping we get to see her fight with Ranger, since that seemed so pivotal to her character, but I really just want to know more about her in general, since she's such a complex "Hero"

As interesting as Laurence was, she’s not really a part of the ongoing plot as far as I can tell now that she’s dead. Much more interesting to get an insight into active characters.
Erik Miller
As much as I’d love to learn about Hanno and Antigone’s time training together, I admit I’ve been more interested in what shaped Laurence to be the pain in the ass we knew her as

Voting for Claus because I think he deserves that last salute.
