Description:
Here I present you one of my favorite creations up to date, the legendary order of Fracasse is here to banish dark magic.

For the capped version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2560761146

  • Knights of Fracasse is a renowned order that started it’s journey in the harsh deserts of Araby during the errantry wars there. The Bretonnian’s faced all kinds of dark magic and spells that devoured them and sent them into oblivion. The first morningstar of Fracasse was created by the hatred and disgust Fracasse Langoustine had for magic. The morningstar embodied this immense hatred and gained the ability to dismantle any magical artifact and repel any kind of spell. The legendary weapon was later used by the crusader Baron Odo of Outremer.
  • Later on, many decades later, the followers of Outremer remain devoted to his disdain towards magic and desire to hunt it down. So they wield their enchanted morningstars to battle in order to banish any and all kinds of dark magic.
    Balance

  • The unit is balanced for vanilla. It is designed as an anti-magic, armor-piercing, melee cavalry.
  • Has lower kill power and higher defensive stats than questing knights.
  • Has the same tech/lord/buff tree as the questing knights.
  • Recruited from tier 3 stables, 2 turns recruitment time.
  • Has a special ability called "Fracasse Enchantement" which makes enemy overcast spells to miscast 100%.

    Lore

    " The mighty Morning Star of Fracasse has a hatred of magical trickery and unholy artifacts inherited from its first owner, Fracasse Langoustine, the Scourge of Araby. It will entangle and rip a magic weapon from the hands of any foe, unless a spiked orb to the head settles the matter first.

    Aside from Fracasse himself, the Morning Star was also wielded during the Crusades by Baron Odo of Outremer. Baron Odo was one of many Bretonnian Knights who set out for the wars in Araby against the evil Sultan Jaffar. He took part in the routing of Jaffar’s army in Estalia and joined in the great pursuit to the sea. When the Bretonnian knights ultimately followed Jaffar into his own parched desert lands, Odo was there. No matter how hot the sun, and despising both thirst and flies, Odo relentlessly sought out Champions of Araby to challenge and slay. Though they hid in their isolated oases, Odo tracked them down and forced them to do battle under the merciless sun.

    Odo was as chivalrous as he was determined, and he honoured bravery and courage in a foe. When he met and defeated Suliman, he was so impressed by the Saracen’s courage that he spared his life. The two warriors became firm friends, especially since Suliman, a man of honour, had no love or respect for the despot Jaffar. When Odo returned from Araby he brought Suliman with him as his faithful brother in arms."
