Yep, it might trigger one of these rare, weird, awful events, like in CK2 when your 1 year-old demon infant somehow managed to kill you perfect 12 year-old heir in his bed, and got away with it giggling while you could do nothing about it.

Does Budli Sifsson mean Santa Claus or something?
Sorry, I'm American and to me his names reads as "bud-ly," so like the ultimate bud that you hang out with. He's got the right traits and the look, which is exactly like Santa Claus, a big, jolly fat dude.

What strange stuff?
She's a Norse character following Vidilist all the way in Iceland. I also just enjoyed the fact that she's from the same dynasty as Haraldr Fairhair.

Oh, no. They're plotting against my rival. We must, um... stop this? I guess? Spymaster, please put it on your todo list. Not too high.

Started a Byzantine dynasty from scratch with that awesome lady, then aged 16. Didn't expect her to rule for 85 years though... She died a few weeks before her 102th birthday. And she was still leading armies and sieges... Apart from the countless wars she waged, she did have some time to achieve a lot of stuff and become very wise.

"Uhh....I managed teach myself to appreciate you a lot more, Mylord!"
Sometimes it's much harder than teaching someone else, though.

Well, I may have initiated a series of immortal women...

Started like this (the white hair is a tribute to Ororo Munroe AKA Storm from the X-Men, she kind of fascinated me when I read the comics as a kid).

Ended like that...

Ayawa108.jpg


So yes, that's a 92 years long rule, which sounds a bit ridiculous but since the game allows it...
Fun fact : in CK2 I managed to get the mysterious Immortality event just once, and it was already with an African character. He united the continent and finally killed himself out of boredom, aged 150 IIRC.

Names of the empire and of the dynasty are related, if you pay attention and know a bit about recent African history. Burkina Faso means "land of the honest people". In OTL it is a small country, one of the poorest of the world. And yet, in the 1980's there was a young leader named Thomas Sankara who gave the country this new name, and managed to make it as developed, democratic and independent as possible (not without downsides, obviously, but still some impressive achievments here). He made some powerful enemies in the process and eventually was assassinated after a few years.

Ireland is also Norse but of a different pagan religion.
