LotR: Grace of the Firstborn

Compatible with Realms-in-Exile 4.3.1.4 (latest on June 13, 2026)

Please read (still in testing phase):

---

• Imprisoning or executing other characters without justification;
• Torturing other characters, even in execution;
• Initiating murder schemes or joining assassination conspiracies;
• Unless they have traits that justify the possibility of these actions, these acts will now be restricted to events or decisions.
• War Update (v0.2) – Exclusive to AI: Discouraged from starting wars or factions that don’t feel appropriate for the character. More information in topic (6).

1. The character is an elf;
2. The religion is monotheistic;
3. The religion has the tenet Grace of the Firstborn.

   

---

• In addition to elves, I added the limitation to any character who is a friend, best friend, lover, or soulmate of an elf who has the correct religion (above), even if this elf is evil, and even if the character follows another religion.

• The inclusion for other races will not be based on whether the character follows any elven religion with the correct tenet; this is not a requirement for other races. The idea of ​​including "elf-friends" is for characters who have personal contact with elves, like Aragorn, even if they follow another religion.

• Cynical, Arbitrary, Sadistic, Callous, Deceitful, Vengeful, and Gallowsbait.

• Elven characters are discouraged from initiating wars using the casus belli claim and de jure. The same applies to the factions of claim, independence, liberty, and dissolution. They are not only discouraged from creating, but also from joining any existing faction.
• This discouragement will not apply to some characters, meaning they will still be targets of wars and factions. These are:
  1. Characters who have the "seven evil traits" mentioned in the previous topic;
  2. Characters who declared war on the elf character;
  3. Characters who pillaged lands of the elf character (not for factions);
  4. Characters who committed any action that constitutes a valid reason for the elf character to execute them;
  5. Characters who have a religion considered evil by the main mod.
     
  6. For reasons of harmony with the coremod, in addition to the requirements here for the target, it is necessary to have the game rule that limits the elven expansion. It is not necessary for the other limitations.

• Elf-friend: Similar discouragement was applied to "elf-friends," but less restrictive, only applying against "good elves and friends," avoiding hindering the expansion of Aragorn or other storylines conceived by the main mod.
