Mount and Blade is a dynamic game that will throw a lot of possible scenarios at you.
You could ask yourself these questions: 1.) What kingdom/pretender will I be swearing vassalage to? 2.) Where would my personal fiefs/capital would be? (I suggest Ethos- Laria because both towns are adjacent to each other, have huge hinterlands, and Laria has free border patrol if you've got good relations with the Noldor) 3.) When will I start wrecking Pendor up? 4.) How will I be doing this? 5.) Why am I playing this game? Always plan ahead: Before every game you must have already planned what you will be doing in the playthrough.Will you succeed in fulfilling the prophesy or will you simply be a hapless adventurer already with finances in the negative on Day 90, begging and scrounging around the entirety of Pendor for coin to pay your 100 Hero Adventurers or to maintain your crumbling microstate? They only await the arrival of the prophesied Hero/Heroine of Madigan who will unify the land and restore much needed peace and prosperity to Pendor. A land rife with conflict: its people having been made to endure centuries of disease, injustice, war, death, and destruction. I have always been touched by PoP's premise.
