Guess what I found?
What else can happen besides the huge amount of culture points and the risk of insanity?
Is that a scholarship focus event?
 
Not rly all that strange, but an interesting chain of events nevertheless, lol. My old Fylkir dies of old age, his son inherits, but only rules for 2 years before he dies in battle against a religious revolt - a battle that was a complete victory, but the king died during it nevertheless. Sh*t happens, Valhalla awaits, I guess.

So the next generation inherits. After exactly 2 years (again!) my Fylkir is challanged to Holmgang, a battle to the death by his uncle (I guess he questioned my guy's emperorship abilities or whatnot). Being a brave SoB, the newly announced Fylkir accepts the duel, but his youth and elan is surpased by the skill and seniority of his rival uncle and he gets an axe to the gut. Valhalla awaits.

Now my empire has a 10 year old Fylkir. Regency awaits.

Tipic Norse story
 
Happy end? :D

A boy grows to be a man obsessed with revenge. He slays his kin in cold blood and rapes his aunt and his cousin in the same bed.

Thank goodness I set aside my love for myself, but we managed to stay friends.

Okay I have a great story here of bitter brothers brought to you by WoL and CK2+..... So here we have the Welf brothers, Hugo and Konrad. They have never liked each other much, but now they are at war and bitterly hate each other.

As a quick background. Here we have the innards of the Carolingian Empire, Louis II became King of Italy, Lotharingia, and Burgundy before his death, but after he died Italy and Burgundy went to his eldest daughter Gisele who had adopted the Italian way of life. Konrad was the Duke of Upper Burgundy and Savoia and was easily the most powerful vassal to the Queen of Italy. After several years though he and the Duke of Dauphine led a rebellion against Gisele and Konrad established his kingship over Burgundy. Meanwhile right next door, his older brother, Hugo had been given the Duchy of Switzerland by me at some point. He was already bitter and jealous of his older brother.

Here are the brothers:

As if it wasn't bad enough being outshines by his older brother, King Konrad began bedding his older brother's wife, the Duchess of Switzerland...

Hugo tried to have his wife, Duchess Wilhelmina imprisoned (or worse), but she made her escape through the alps to the last Lombard kingdom of Salerno in the south of Italy.

So the brothers hate each other and their wives hate each other, there is infidelity on both sides, murder intrigue, and now Konrad, being the never ending douche that he is, has declared war on Hugo for control of the Swiss pass through the alps.

Reminds me of me and my brother (I'm the younger better one).

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh paradox I love you guys sometimes! Keep little bugs like this one in the game.. Man that is good.
 
I might end up looking like an idiot, but I've seen screenshots of this map and I've been wondering this for a while: What mod is that you are playing?

Abbasid Caliphate is really scary. They have 3 times more provinces than Byzantine Empire (2nd biggest realm) and theirs army is as large as HRE and ERE combined.

There are only 2 muslim independant rulers 1, Caliph and 2, sheikh in Marrakech (that OCM in Marocco)
