** The Heart is capable of possessing the Occultist...so it is probably capable of mentally influencing any human who has established a link to it. Which certainly explains the WrongGenreSavvy and IdiotBall actions of your Ancestor. Not to the horrible cruelty of humanoid enemies, and the KillAllHumans mentality of the local monsters. Learning the black magic of the setting probably opens your mind up to the Heart.

No evidence exists that implies that anyone on the Heir\'s estate knows who the Leper was. The Leper left his kingdom alone, and he never mentions his royal roots in any of his dialogue.


* The blacksmith has to intentionally craft a broken sword for the Leper to use.
** His backstory comic shows that he is, or at least was, a beloved ruler before he contracted his disease and exiled himself. He probably requested that the sword be forged that way, and when a guy that powerful and respected says "jump", you say "how high".

Even if what lurks under the manor is simply based off of him.

** It could be the heroes musing on other locations. Going through [[ThatOneLevel the Weald]] makes [[NoobCave the Ruins]] not seem so bad.



** It is worth noting, however, that the characters have heart attacks at 200 stress. 100 stress is enough to cause them to have a permanent psychological break- it's safe to say that the stress they're under isn't comparable to normal stress like you or I would experience.

* Some of the negative character quirks are the sort that in real life would not be considered negative at all - they might even be seen as quite beneficial. A character may consider themselves enlightened or acquire a love interest, for instance. And, just like any other negative quirk, these can be removed in the asylum. Just what manner of treatments are they doing there?
