Charlemagne's Heir [A Modette]

[Orinsul]

This tiny wee two file modification adds into the game as a playable character a son of Charles the Great! Ready to press his rightful claims for the thrones of western europe and revive and then outshine his fathers legacy.
To get around the issue that he would be massively old, his mother ir Morgan the Fey who as you will know is a time travelling fairy magician, with a proven track record of turning up centuries after the fact with the sons of historical emperors [noteably Ceasars]. Modelling her on the post-vulgate evil maniulative genuis but with the pre-monmouth welsh qualities of being a fairy and not being arthurs sister.
It doesnt use ID request authorised IDs, but ones that work with the current patch and its two files and only two numbers so easy enough to change if needed. But other than that it ought to be compatible with all mods.
So now if you want to, you can play as Charlemanges sole surviving son and feel justified in setting out to conquer all as you can see.

If any one has suggestions as to names that would be better, better islands to start on or has extended the welsh or ERE history back for actual mods so as to include the dads of his potential brothers or anything then speak up but otherwise, heres a tiny, mostly silly modette and uh, yeah. have fun!

Oberon would be, in some texts, his half-brother so theres certainly potential. I just discovered that the island i picked purely for being far-away and isolated enough for morgan to have stolen it without too much fuss, if you invade from the war is called the Fairy Invasion so hes almost half-way there.
I reckon if you made a mercenary order that was a titular barony title then a count could start with it as a vassal. But its probably easy enough just to work with the ordinary mercs as then if he failed there wouldnt suddenly be a fairy army hireable by anyone. Also itd be captained by a human which wouldnt be so good.

One thing i was thinking was a fairy trait for any/all descendants that boosted stats at the expensive of a reduction in AI rationality, honour and church relations. And then a Tam-Lin and Janet could be dropped in some scottish barony with it too, and maybe an event with a tiny-tiny chance of happening where your daughter gets knocked up by a barrow king or you realise your kid has been kidnapped years ago and yourve been raising a changeling.
But thatd be a different mod, this ones just a bastard son of a centuries dead legend, with a claim in hand and a sword to press it with.

Give him the tiluar title king of fairies, and make him captain or grandmaster of own made up fairy order for man power boost. I will ask around about decisions let have a man power boost.

The problem is getting rid of the title once it doesnt make sense for him to have it anymore. Otherwise it stops being fairy intervention and turns fairy invasion, which youd need a new culture and tons of events to to do justice.
one thought is, have them as a holy order and make a new heretical christian religion define for just him, his mother and this order. That way he'd have the manpower when its needed, but it wouldnt belong to him and as soon as he joined christendom, which for political reasons hed have to pretty soon or risk revolt, theyd no longer be available.

Actually it couldnt be a heresy, as they pop up again over time, so itd have to be a schismatic religion with a special decision, convert to catholicism if you own k_france or e_hre. Although then you wouldnt be able to get an invasion CB to press the claims.
Who knows, keeps being more problems than solutions is the issue. no worries

He all ready have claims on the land, so have nothing worry about if change relgion. You give him this ability since he the fairy king or decision they summon fairy knights to his aid.
