Intro Post!

The idea of this blog is to chronicle my playthroughs and builds as Lupusregina Beta from overlord in various different video games.

Law of Lupusregina

"If a video game has a build or character creator, Lupusregina Beta from Overlord can and will be created within it." Me

Who is Lupusregina?

This! Is Lupusregina. She is a werewolf battle Maid Cleric from overlord, who serves Nazarick and Ainz Ooal Gown. She has a very lazy and lackadaisical attitude, but is secretly very cunning and sadistic.

With all that said, let the game's begin gaming!

Return to Ostagar and the Final Battle

So it has come to this. The final battle of Evil vs the Archdemon. Let's repeat the law of Lupusregina, “If Lupusregina Beta from Overlord can be created in a game, she will be.” Then look back on some of her moments throughout Ferelden.

She bullied Jowan and executed him. She dealt with demons. She genocided the Dalish tribe for the werewolves. She betrayed Alistair and told him to man up before his execution. Overall, everything is worse for what Lupusregina has done. Just the way she likes it.

So return to Ostagar. You find a guy who was at the battle of Ostagar, he knows where Cailen’s blade and letters are hidden. Lupusregina takes Loghain, Shale, and Climb with her to it. Apparently Cailen might have been cheating on Anora with the EMPRESS OF ORLAIS. Even a whole plan to add them and make an alliance. Yeah, Loghain has some things to say about that. Even still, he suggests they bury Cailen's body. Lupusregina says nuh uh. Let people see their fallen king. Let them despair.

I find how Loghain acts here interesting. He really, really hates Cailen here. But I also think that’s why I like Loghain. He's not just a generic villain who's here for power and to be an asshole. He's a patriot driven insane by a tyrannical empire.

Fun fact: If you bring Alistair, Wynne, or the Dog to Ostagar they have unique banter. Also I find it funny how you get all these sad flashbacks for Ostagar. Like depending on your origin not only was Cailen not your king, but you may have only known he existed for like a day.

Lupusregina saves Redcliffe from a Darkspawn attack, and learns of the horde approaching Denerim. This is bad. Lupusregina doesn't see how it's that bad, but she's outvoted. So the army must march to Denerim. Oh yeah also the Archdemon is gonna be there and only a grey Warden can kill it and then the warden dies-WAIT WHAT. Yeah Lupusregina ain't doing that. There's three wardens who can do it, and she is going to be the last one if it comes to that. Morrigan offers the dark ritual. Essentially it would have Morrigan sleep with Loghain, and have their child inherit and destroy the taint. So Morrigan would just like, own a old God. Lupusregina refuses this. Not because she doesn't trust Morrigan, but because she wants Loghain dead. She wants him to suffer. Morrigan gets pissy and leaves.

The battle arrives. First Lupusregina uses the Golems, who die because of her friendly fire. Then she uses the Mages, same story. Riordan, who has only been in this game for 10 minutes by the way, JUMPS OFF OF A TOWER AND STABS THE ARCHDEMON WHILE IT IS FLYING. I mean he gets thrown off, but Riordan managed to stay on it for a good 10 seconds! And that lands the Archdemon on the top of Fort Drakon. Lupusregina takes Loghain, Climb, and Shale with her. A bunch of Werewolves and Dwarves die fighting the Archdemon. But they win. Loghain slays it, and the Blight is over.

Anora is declared Queen, and Lupusregina is congratulated. Lupusregina saves her favor for later (to give to Ainz) and chooses to not remain in Ferelden (so she may return to Nazarick). With that, her time in Ferelden is over. Almost everything is worse for what she has done.

I think I'll do the DLCs someday, but not the rest of the series. With this all done, I'd like to give my thanks to all of you. Your upvotes, views, likes and comments have been amazing. Thank you all so much. With that all said, goodbye. Until the next time Lupusregina travels!

Denerim and the Landsmeet

STOP!

It's Lupu time.

The law of Lupusregina is as follows: “If Lupusregina Beta from Overlord can be created in a game, she will be.” And the last time you all saw this law in effect was when Lupu went on her adventure in the deep caverns of Orzammar. But before we get on with the Landsmeet, Lupu has side quests!

Shale asks Lupu about Caridan, and if she met him? Lupu lies and says nuh uh~su. Shale then has Lupu go to Cadash Thaig, to find evidence of it's past. Shale used to Shayle, a Dwarven warrior who willingly became a golem. Shale is understandable confused at the information that it used to be squishy, but Lupusregina comforts it. Shale chose a good upgrade from a humanoid. Then Oghren wants to meet up with a lady friend, and needs Lupu to be his wing wolf. She says sure! She teased him a bit, but the girl refuses him. Womp womp. Why is Lupu doing these things? Because it's fun. They include extra murder and girly time, as well as making her group happier and satisfying them just enough to not mutiny.

Lupusregina now heads forth to Denerim, where Arl Eamon is holding the Landsmeet. The Landsmeet is a meeting of the Banns and Arl’s of Ferelden to help decide the next monarch. Now it's important to note that the Landsmeet has a voting system, and what is Nazarick if not politically and diplomatically astute? After meeting Loghain, Lupu gets to it. First she does some side missions, kills some criminals, all that fun stuff. Then, the Trial of Crows. Remember those Assassin's that Zevran was a part of? Well the rest of the organization has a side quest you can do to get a extra Landsmeet vote. Murder? And money!? AND AN EXTRA VOTE!? YES PLEASE! Lupu does it, saving a noble's son and then killing her Crow associate. But this actually invalidates the vote…whoopsies.

She has 2 candidates for ruler of Ferelden. Alistair: Goody two shoes, moral, is a Templar, and is immature. He was king Maric’s bastard son. Then there's Anora. Not only is her claim to the throne legitimate, but she's smart and knows how to play the game of nobility. On one hand, Alistair would almost 100% not stand for anything Nazarick related. But on the other, Anora may attempt a more successful coup. Here's my idea for what the most successful Nazarick idea would be though: Make Anora queen, and…deal with Alistair. Anora is a lot smarter than Alistair, and I believe that there's a way better chance of her taking vassalization than Al. Alistair would get caught up in the morals of it, but Anora sees the simple equation of: Nazarick+Resistance=death (at best). So Lupu support’s Anora for queen. Bad news though. Anora is captured.

Lupusregina takes Climb, Sten, and Oghren to save her. Now there's a lot of side quests here that help you with the Landsmeet. Saving a tortured Noble, saving a Templar, and saving Vaughan Kendells. Now would Lupu love to just slaughter them all? Yes. Yes definitely. One million times yes. However, Nazarick is more important than Lupu’s desires. So she reluctantly saves the Noble and the Templar. Giving her an extra 3 points in the Landsmeet. Bann Stigard’s vote, Bann Alfstana’s vote, and the Chantry's support. Vaughan though? Not only is he a humongous idiot and hot head, but also one of the biggest elf racists in any universe and all around disgusting. She is NOT going to risk him getting close to Aura or Mare, and disembowel’s him. All the other prisoners? Eh. They can stay I guess. Sadism properly satiated, Lupu goes off and slaughter’s Arl Howe. As she leaves with Anora, they run into guards who Lupu slaughter's. Back at the estate, Lupusregina support’s Anora for queen. Netting her another 3 points for the Landsmeet.

Now then, there's still work to be done. As in getting dirt on Loghain. Where better to do that then the Elven alienage? She brings Climb, Shale, and Sten with her. A plague is going around and the “healers” there are capturing elves to sell into slavery. She Slaughter's the “healers”, and Lupu refuses the ultimatum the head healer suggests. Which is to sacrifice all the elves there and make Lupu stronger. Does Lupus care about these elves at all? Nope! But. Letting these Elf enslavers just run around willy nilly bodes bad for Nazarick’s elves. “Waiter, waiter! More killing people who are surrendering~su!”

With all this done, it's finally time for the Landsmeet. Loghain tries arguing back, but it's useless. He tries to argue that the Warden's wanted to bring in Orlesian troops, Lupu counters by talking about how the Blight is the threat. Not Orlais. This gets her Arl Wulf’s vote, and cements Alfstana's support. In the second round, Loghain again brings up the Warden relationship with Orlais. Probably a twofer of how much Loghain HATES Orlais, and how he's trying to get the Landsmeet to remember the good patriotic rebellion. Lupu talks about how Arl Howe kidnapped and tortured Ferelden’s, and Bann Stigard backs her up. He tries to bring up her murder of Howe, but she counters with the claim that he hired a apostate to poison Eamon. Alfstana backs Lupu up, and the revered mother denounces him. He makes a bold move and asks Lups what she's done with his daughter? She shows up and denounces Loghain herself. I've always found Loghain's sorrow here interesting, and how he claims that the Warden has poisoned her mind. Loghain is a really cool character. Loghain is not just roasted, he is not just cooked. He is 100% char broiled. The vote comes, and Lupu gets all the votes. Except that one guy who hates you for some reason. A brawl breaks out, and a duel is proposed. Lupusregina beats Loghain up for his lunch money and…spares him? Don't worry, this will all make sense in a second. It helps Lupu get Anora’s support and Loghain in a way more useful General than Al. But then…what to do with Al? He is pissed off at Lupu, calling her a betrayer and Snake. Lupusregina gaslights him. He chooses to leave the group, but Anora doesn't allow that. As long as he's alive, rebellion’s can be raised in his or his offspring’s name. He needs to die. Lupusregina tells him to man up.

Loghain undertakes the Grey Warden joining and survives. I really like Loghain. He was a farm boy who became a great general during the Ferelden rebellion. We never get a concrete answer on why he betrayed Cailen, but my primary belief is that it's because of how much Cailen was interacting with Orlais. He was going to allow Orleasian troops into Ferelden to help fight the Blight. Loghain hates Orlais. He HATES them. They killed his dog. Fair.

I suppose that's where we'll leave for now. Thank you all for reading. Comments are appreciated. Lupusregina is very, very, very sadistic and evil. This series has done a good job reminding me of that. Fare thee well.

Dragon Age Origins

Deep Roads

Lo, we return once more to the evilest Wolfie Wif. Law of Lupusregina, now modified to allow for ttrpg’s and wargames!: “If Lupusregina Beta from Overlord can be created in a game, she will be.” the last time we saw this oh so lovely maid, she was playing the ever brutal and unchanging game of Dwarven politics. She chose to support king Bhelen for the throne of Orzammar, and has been tasked with finding Paragon Branka to ensure the vote. Coming along with them on this expedition is Oghren.

First, they go to Caridin’s Crossroad. A meeting place of the deep roads, created by the Paragon Caridin. Shale is left behind to guard Bhelen during this. For super cool Wolfie reasons. As they traverse, Lupu learns that Branka was searching for the “Anvil of the Void”. This anvil was created by Caridin, and was used to create the Golems that protected the Dwarven empire from the Darkspawn. Next stop, Caridin’s home. Ortan Thaig. Lupu summons a demon and extorts it. Sure murder is fun, but making a deal with a demon is always an option. And in the long run, it will cause more death and chaos! Hooray~su! Also this Dwarven mother lost her adult son in this Thaig, but he went crazy. Lupu kills him. And doesn't tell her about it. Have fun looking for him rofl. She also picks up some papers to reinstate house Ortan and make them in debt to her and therefore Nazarick. After killing a huge spider, they find Branka’s journal. The Anvil lies beyond Bownammer, the city of the Legion of the Dead.

There, in the dead trenches, Lupusregina sees the Archdemon in person for the first time. Hordes of Darkspawn roam and she even helps the Legion of the Dead, who as a matter of fact are not undead but just dwarves looking for death against the Darkspawn in battle, in a super awesome BRIDGE BATTLE!!!!! She moves forward with her party. Taking out several Darkspawn and finding Hespith. Apparently what happened was Branka was in a secret relationship with Hespith, which Lupu 100% mocks Oghren about, and that Branka betrayed her entire house for the Anvil. The women dragged off and turned into Broodmother’s creating more Darkspawn. The men slaughtered and eaten. Lupusregina slays this Broodmother, although Sten gets the cool killing Animation, and again goes forward. Note, the Broodmother is one of the weirdest and most disgusting monsters I've seen in a video game. Finally, she arrives at the Anvil. Branka is there and-ope she's insane. She let her house be turned into Broodmother's because Caridin left a butt-ton of traps on the way to the anvil. Branka is using the Darkspawn as trap fodder. Lupusregina thinks it's smart and funny. Branka will help Lupu with her little leadership debate on the account that she helps her obtain the anvil. Honestly Lupu would have done that anyway. Nazarick probably doesn't need it, but it could prove useful. Golem’s>humanoids. Some golem slaughter, and Lupu finds Caridin himself…as a golem. Golem's needed a soul to be active, and this process was torture. Caridin wants to destroy the anvil. Lupusregina doesn't care. With Branka’s assistance, Caridin is slain and the Anvil saved. The grey wardens now have a Golem army, and a crown to place upon her chosen candidate.

Back in Orzammar Lupu chooses Bhelen, while ensuring that everyone knows that Branka gave the crown to HER to decide who SHE wants as king. Showing power over Orzammar. She places it upon Bhelen, he executes Harrowmont, and pledges his troops to Lupusregina. Bhelen could be a vassal of Nazarick, but if he doesn't play ball execution/assaniation is always an option. Back at Camp, Oghren joins the party. Having lost his wife and his honor, he has nothing better to do than follow Lupy poos around. Also, apparently he has a old ex on the surface and he's wondering if Lupusregina will be his wing woman? Lupusregina says sure…for now. She lies to Shale about Caridin, but also agrees to help Shale find it's memories in the deep Roads. Also Morrigan see’s Lupu as a friend now! Das nice. Finally she spends some coin and some gems to strengthen her army to fight the coming Darkspawn.

That's pretty much this entry. I'm trying to focus more on the roleplaying aspect of this and why Lupusregina does the things she does. Thanks for reading, and see you next time!

[lawoflupusregina]

Okay, so the way I talked about Redcliffe may have given the impression that it was my favorite city in Thedas. It's not. Orzammar is. My first character was a Dwarven noble. Throughout this whole segment, I was feeling the craving to start a Dwarven commoner. But, it's Waifu time. The law of Lupusregina is: “If a video game has a character or build creator, Lupusregina Beta from Overlord can and will be created within it.” Also before we begin this time, some dwarf lore. The dwarves used to have a huge empire, at least as big as any human or elven empire. A key part of the Dwarven identity is their belief in the stone and spirits. Essentially that when a dwarf dies underground, that their spirit goes into the stone that they live under and above. Good spirits who love honorably strengthen the stone, whereas criminals weaken it. Add on to this are Paragon’s, Dwarves who are so great that they're considered living ancestors who form brand new noble houses in their names. Dwarves are so entrenched in these ideas of family and traditions, that they use the Caste system. Essentially, when a Dwarf is born they take the caste of their same sex parent. Caste is your career and social status, and it can almost never be changed. Born a smith, die a smith. Born a noble, die a noble. So on and so forth. Now there's also Dwarves without a Caste. Many Dwarves lose their caste by heading to the surface. These Casteless are branded, and are considered almost sub people. Being forced to live in slums called “Dust Town”. Finally, notice how I said the Dwarves used to have a empire. Used. As in, past tense. As in, Darkspawn are constantly attacking the Dwarves. Only two Dwarven cities remain. Kal’Shirrok, and Orzammar.

The last time we saw Lupu, she was heading to Orzammar. She finds this messenger of Loghain at the gates, and he insults her. So she kills him and is allowed to enter Orzammar! She finds it in chaos. The king, Endrin Aeducan, died. Dwarves elect their monarchs, and the Dwarven assembly of lords are torn between two candidates. Let's meet them!

Bhelen Aeducan: Son of king Endrin. Almost certainly had his eldest brother killed, and his second eldest brother framed for the murder*. Also probably poisoned his father*. However he is a very progressive candidate, advocating for allowing the casteless to take up arms and help defend Orzammar.

Pyral Harrowmont: King Endrin’s advisor. Claims that Endrin chose him to succeed on his deathbed. Traditionalist, advocates for limiting surface trade and keeping the casteless where they are.

So who is Lupusregina going to support for Nazarick? Well, although Harrowmont is worse for Orzammar long term, Bhelen is a lot more evil. Also, I think Bhelen would be more open to the idea of becoming a vassal of Nazarick. Harrowmont would probably stage a last stand. Adding onto Bhelen, his policy of giving the casteless rights assures their support as well. Lupu goes to his envoy to get his support, but he needs her to do a side mission.

She has to deliver some (forged) papers to the noble houses of Helmi and Dace, to keep them from supporting Harrowmont. Lupu does this, and also gets them to support Bhelen. Also the Dwarves have provings. Gladiatorial combat? YES PLEASE! She burns some people up for funsies. They're fine. Probably hurt, but they're fine. And this helps showcase Nazarick's power! Win win! She even fights in some underground provings, because she is the sadisticist Wolfie.

She's finally allowed to talk to Bhelen, he can't give her the army. Only the King of Orzammar can command the army, and there's no king. So she has to help him gain the throne. Next step, kill the Carta (Dwarf Cartel) and let Bhelen announce it. Lupu heads to Dust Town, commits some more unnecessary murder, and ends the Carta. Bhelen is ahead in the votes, but he needs one more thing. The vote of a Paragon. The only living Paragon in Branka, and she's missing on a Deep Roads expedition. While Lupu goes to find her, she runs into Oghren. Branka’s husband. He's a lewd, violent, beligrant, drunken Berserker dwarf. Due to killing a nobles son in a proving, he was forbidden to carry a weapon inside Orzammar. To complete Oghren's sorrow, no one will help him look for Branka. Because Lupu has a lead, he chooses to follow her and find his wife! I feel like Oghren and Lupu would get along.

That's a good part to stop at for today, if you ask me. Peace out, and remember! Lupusregina is best doggo, and deserves all the head pats.

*In the Dwarf noble origin it's confirmed that Bhelen killed the eldest brother and had the middle child blamed. Also implied that he poisoned Endrin.

Haven and Ruined Temple (or Lupusregina's murder marathon)

Before we begin, I just wanted to say thank you for the support. Your comments and likes mean a lot. Now as usual, law of Lupusregina. “If a video game has a character or build creator, Lupusregina Beta from Overlord can and will be created within it.” the last time we saw Lups she had just finished murdering Jowan for funsies.

She heads back to Camp, and for some reason Alistair actually liked how everything went…probably fell on his head or something. Also, Sten has a side quest for our Wolfie! Remember he was caged for killing a family? Well he explains that Darkspawn attacked him and the Qunari soldiers he was with. But he passed out, and he lost his sword. This is a big thing. Not only was the sword specifically smithed for him and him alone, but if he returns home without it they will think him a deserter and he will be killed on sight. Panicking, Sten killed the family. Lupusregina decides to help him find the sword. They end up finding it and Sten is grateful. So grateful that he compares her to an Arishok, a Qunari general, and calls her Kadan, a Qunari term of endearment. So Lupu and Sten are UPPER MILD ACQUAINTANCES. (BACKGROUND EXPLOSION!) Now then, onto Denerim to find brother Genetivi. They arrive at his house, and he's not there? Instead it's his servant, Weylon. Except actually, no. It's a body double spy who tries to kill Lupu. But of course, Lupus slaughters as is usual. As they look through his notes, they mention that he went to the village of Haven. So she heads there, taking Wynn and Leliana to replace Sten and Shale. Due to Wynn and Leliana being Andraste fangirls and wanting to see the urn. Climb is still with her though. Woof woof.

They head to Haven, and are met with hostility by the town's locals. While exploring, she finds an altar with blood. Human blood, it seems. When she leaves that house, cultists attack! She breaks into their chantry, and finds their revered father giving a sermon. He does a spiel about how they have to defend “her”. The cultists attack, and Lupu attacks. Fire! Beta finds Genetivi slowly dying in a back room. She saves him, and he leads the way to a ruined temple with the Urn of sacred ashes.

Now, what is the Urn of sacred ashes? Well years ago, this woman called “Andraste” claimed that the “Maker” talked to her. The maker being God. Essentially the belief is that if the Maker’s Chant of light is spread to all 4 corners of the world that he'll come back. So she launched a holy war against the Tevinter Imperium. They didn't like this of course, and caught her. They then proceeded to burn her at the stake. But of course, the Chantry remained. Andraste’s ashes were brought to Ferelden and hidden in this temple. They're said to be able to heal any ailment.

Lupusregina traverses the temple. Slaughtering cultists, slaying drakes, and pulling action figures out of dragon poop to give Alistair. Eventually she finds the leader of the cult, Kolgrim. Essentially what this cult believe’s is that Andraste has been reborn. As what you ask? A high dragon. They offer Lupusregina a deal. If she goes to the holy urn and souls it with Dragon Blood, they will give her the powers of the cult. Lupu accepts the deal, though Leliana and Wynn are…less than happy with the arrangement. Lupu runs through the gauntlet. First some riddles, then talking to Jowan, then a bridge puzzle, then fighting dark versions of her party, and finally having to take her robes off to traverse through flame. She makes it to the urn, takes a pinch…and pours the dragon blood on it. The guardian of the ashes is mad and attacks. Wynn and Leliana do the same. This was really hard to do. Killing your companions is never easy, but these are two of the only ones that get to kill directly. She slaughters them, revealing in it. She goes to the cult, and they have her drink the blood of a Wyvern. She has the powers and memories of the cultists, and their forefathers. This gives the reaver specialization for warriors, which I already had. But again, lore. Now then, in the words of the baddest Jedi in the galaxy this cult is “too dangerous to be left alive!”. So Lupu kills em. They could have some usage for Nazarick, but that's only if they can pull of a gambit convincing them that Ainz is reborn Andraste. Besides, Lupu gets more murder time. Yayyy. For the cherry on our murder Sunday, she tosses a knife into brother Genetivi’s head to prevent him from spreading information about the ashes. Nazarick will have all that info, thank you very much.

Back in Redcliffe, Arl Eamon is healed. He declares Lupu and her party champions of Redcliffe. He also explains that they will call a Landsmeet, which is a traditional Ferelden way of choosing a king by the most prestigious nobles voting on it. He mentions using Alistair’s claim to the throne. Believing that Ferelden must be united under Therin blood or it will collapse. Finally, he puts his army in the Grey Wardens confederation against the Darkspawn. He needs some time to call the Landsmeet together though, so in the meantime Lupu is going to make good of that treaty with the dwarves of Orzammar.

That's where we'll end Lupusregina’s murderthon for now. I think we're in double digits of unnecessary kills now? Thanks for reading!

[lawoflupusregina]

Dragon Age Origins

Redcliffe

O, Redcliffe my Redcliffe! As always before we return to Lupu, the law of Lupusregina. “If a video game has a character or build creator, Lupusregina Beta from Overlord can and will be created within it.” The last time we left this werewolf, she had just genocided a Dalish Elf tribe. Who else but Lupusregina? The Chantry, that's who.

So Alistair is from Redcliffe, and was raised by Arl Eamon of Redcliffe. But then Eamon's Orleasian wife Isolde didn't like Alistair, due to the rumors that him being at the castle made. So she sent him off. Alistair tells Lups this while they head to Redcliffe. This time our sadistic battlemaid is leaving Sten at camp and bringing Alistair instead. Alistair also tells Lupu that his dad was KING MARIC. So Alistair is sort of in line for the throne. Lupusregina bullies him, and is sorta mad that he hid this. They arrive in Redcliffe, and learn that the town is under attack by the undead! Zombie’s attack every night. They also meet Bann Teagan, brother of the Arl. Teagan asks Lupusregina if she'll help defend the town?

Now this is a bit of a complicated question. On one hand, Lupusregina is a sadist that doesn't care about these people. But on the other hands, not only did she defend a village in Overlord. But if Nazarick is going to conquer this land, then it's probably better to actually have a town to conquer. Also by saving Redcliffe, Nazarick's renown in it will be a lot better. Finally, Bann Teagan is a pretty useful asset. He’s a bit more pragmatic, and he himself states that he knows he's not the strongest fighter. He would probably surrender to Nazarick. By the way, you don't have to save Redcliffe, you can just leave it to be destroyed. I never knew that. Fun though. So the battle maid chooses to help defend Redcliffe!

So a big part of this section of the quest is preparing for the attack at nightfall. You can persuade/threaten to get extra soldiers, get extra gear, even get a holy blessing! But Lupusregina ain't doing ANY of that. I was inspired by how in Overlord, when she has to save Nfirea from the troll, she waits until he is literally 5 feet away from death to do anything. So she doesn't have to actually SAVE everyone in Redcliffe. Just make sure the town doesn't go totally belly up. She threatens the blacksmith to repair the miltia’s weapons and armor (though is forced to make a deal to find his daughter in the castle later), kills a Dwarven crook, kills a Elven spy of Loghain, forces a Tavern owner to join the militia, and brings in lantern oil to battle the undead. She even makes a child cry. On accident.

Then the battle comes, and it's a massacre. On all sides. The knights of Redcliffe actually make it out okay, despite RUNNING INTO LIT LANTERN OIL. But the Militia is slaughtered. Their death's are almost certainly influced by Lupusregina’s danger close attitude. “I don't care how close they are to the zombies! I cast flame blast~su!”. Everyone except like 3 unnamed milita members die. Even the towns mayor is slain during the battle. But, it's a pyrrhic victory. Teagan takes Lupu with him to the windmill to explain his plan to-oh it's the Orleasian woman.

She needs Teagan to come with her. Just Teagan. Alone. This raises questions, but she just goes on about how her son Connor won't leave but that Teagan can convince him. So Teagan gives Lups his signet ring, and has her use a secret passage from the windmill into the castle. Entering into the dungeon who does she see but Jowan? Yeah, it's Jowan from the origin! Lupu questions him, and he explains that Connor was showing signs of being a mage. Isolde didn't want him sent to the circle of Magi, so she hired Jowan to teach Connor just enough magic to hide it. Bad news though, because Loghain hired Jowan as an assassin to poison Eamon. Lupusregina leaves him alive…for now. That blood magic could come in useful. She traverses the castle, slaying undead, finding the smith's daughter, and letting in the knights. When she entered the main hall, she saw Bann Teagan BREAKING IT DOWNNNNN YEAH BANN TEAGAN BUST A MOVE. Because the demon possessing Connor had hypnotized him.

After some quick violence, Connor running upstairs and the spell over Teagan being broken, the question came up…what do we do with Connor? He's an abomination, and typically the only solution to that is to kill the abomination. Isolde obviously doesn't want her son killed, and Jowan is brought up to find an alternative solution. He knows a Blood magic ritual which will send a mage into the fade to battle the demon directly, leaving Connor unharmed. Bad news though, it requires a sacrifice. Isolde offers her life as a sacrifice. There's also the option about approaching the circle and likely finding a ritual to peacefully send a mage to the fade. But alas, Lupusregina doesn't do that. She has Isolde sacrificed and heads into the Fade. She speaks with the demon, and makes a deal. The demon leaves Connor and Eamon alone for the time being. In return, Lupusregina is taught specialized blood magic by the demon.

The funny thing here is that because I bought the Blood Mage manual in Awakening, there wasn't even a reason to make this deal. But it makes sense story wise, as I'm pretty sure Yggdrasil doesn’t really have any sort of Blood Magic beyond what Shalltear does with her “Blood Drinker” class. Add on to that that by learning Blood Magic Lupusregina is a Nazarickan gaining a level in something. This would be groundbreaking for Ainz. As well as boosting her power. So bottom line is: Blood magic=strong Wolfie. Connor is just a afterthought. Worst case scenario when Nazarick conquers Redcliffe they take out the abomination if it doesn't play along.

To cap off Redcliffe, Lupusregina executes Jowan for his crimes. Bullying him all the way, refusing his final wishes and not telling him what happened to Lily, and lamenting she could only kill him once.

Dragon Age Origins: Brecilian Forest

Welcome back to the Lupusregina war crime show! Now with extra war crimes! As always, a repetition of the law of Lupusregina. “If a video game has a character or build creator, Lupusregina Beta from overlord can and will be created within it.”

The last time we saw the Wolfie Waifu herself was when she cleaned up the tower of Magi. First of all, bad news! Morrigan read the grimoire, and Flemeth is going to steal her body! Morrigan tasks Lupu with slaying the witch, so Lupusregina takes her usual group of Climb, Shale, and Sten to go do it. On the way we get to see what Loghain's up to! He's hiring an assassin to kill the grey wardens! Said Assassin is Zevran. A suave and lustful scoundrel of an elf. He tried to kill Lupu, and fails. She wakes him up to torture him and ask questions. He answers (without the torture…boooo.) so she kills him. His final wish is to not have his body eaten. I imagine Lupu sicked Climb on his corpse afterwards, just as a final screw you. So Lupusregina fought Flemeth in a brutal battle, during which Flemeth shape shifted into a dragon! But as everyone knows, “Never bring a dragon to a werewolf fight.” Lupusregina wins!

Then she goes back to the actual main quest. Next stop, the Brecilian forest to gain the aid of the Dalish Elves. She heads there with her usual group, the elves are a bit less than kind, and apparently they have a werewolf issue…elves vs werewolves, who does Nazarick (the monster guild) and Lupusregina (the wereiest wolf) want to support? Anyway so there's this elf kid trying to date a girl but she won't date him because he's only a apprentice hunter and not a REAL hunter and he can only become a real hunter by bringing back part of a animal he killed but the woods are closed so yeah. Lupusregina goes to the girl, tells her that the boy was bragging about bedding her, so the girl goes and slaps him. Love life ruined for a maid's enjoyment. Who else but Lupu? So yeah the whole clan hates her and their leader, Zathrian, tells her to find the werewolves leader “Witherfang” and bring his heart back. So Zathrian may end the curse and cure the werewolves…Lupusregina had some opinions about that, but kept them quiet…for now.

As she adventured into the woods, she found another injured person she could easily help but instead chose to kill and loot. As well as being attacked by rabid werewolves, specifically one called “Swiftrunner” who managed to escape. After she does some errands for a poe-tree and a crazy hermit, she enters the werewolves lair. Although she was attempting to be peaceful because werewolves would be more useful, they still attacked her. She pushed through, and they finally gave up and chose to talk to her. Bringing her to the spirit of the woods (who is actually Witherfang), it was explained the truth of everything. Years ago, several humans assaulted and led to the death of Zathrian’s daughter. As revenge, he bound the spirit of the woods into a wolf and had her bite the humans who did this, inflicting them with the curse of the werewolf. But that was ages ago. The werewolves living now aren't even related to the humans that did that. But Zathrian doesn't care. Ending the curse means he dies, and he just hates humanity. Lupusregina could convince Zathrian to end the curse…but what's wrong with the curse?

The way Lupu sees it, Werewolves are better than humans or elves. Besides, she doesn't need to be cured. So she persuades the werewolves to slaughter the elves. A massacre ensues. The Dalish tribe is slaughtered, with the only survivors soon to become werewolves. All Lupu asks in return for this good time is the assistance of the werewolves in her army. They oblige.

Back at Camp, I made a controversial decision. Because Shale’s gifts are bugged (every other companion gift gives +10 approval with diminishing returns, Shale's give’s +5 and it diminishes with regular gifts.) I chose to give them 2 thoughtful gifts, and a sugar cake. For a grand total of +25 approval. I felt like this was okay because it's less using the feastday gifts and pranks to weigh the scales of approval in my favor, more just fixing a glitch. Also Leliana busts out a whole musical number. Why? I dunno, she heard the song once I guess. It was ok.

That's where we'll leave Miss Beta for today, next stop? Redcliffe!

Dragon Age Origins: Circle Tower

Welcome back! As always, a restatement of the Law of Lupusregina. It's a law of physics I made up which states: “If a video game has a character or build creator, Lupusregina Beta from overlord can and will be created within it.”

When we last saw Lupu, she was winning a street fight through cheating. I debated on if she should go to the Brecilian forest (because werewolves) or the Mages tower (Origin) first. But I chose mages tower because there was some armor to get there. She took Climb, Shale, and Sten with her. After a argument with the ferry Templar, Lupu entered the tower. It was in chaos. Knight Commander Gregor, who of course was present at her harrowing and attempted to arrest her, was less than happy to see her. He explained that demons and abomination’s had overtaken the tower.

Now there is a bit of a debate here. Gregor is waiting for reinforcements and the “Right of Annulment”. What is the right of Annulment I hear you wondering? Well it essentially allows the Templar's to slaughter the entire circle of Magi and burn the tower to the ground. This would make the sadist happy. However. Lupu herself is a mage, and several members of Nazarick also use magic. Giving the templar's the right of Annulment and more power is a pretty awful idea for the long-term. So Lupu swallows her evil schemes, and goes forth to save the circle of Magi.

She finds an old woman, who she actually met at Ostagar, named Wynn. Wynn is keeping the children safe, and agrees the help Lupusregina clear the tower of evil. Sten is left behind, honor bound to protect the children. Lupu calls Wynn old. Abomination murder montage. They find and defend against a blood mage attacking them. The mage surrender’s, but Lupu slaughter’s her anyways. She's at like 5 warcrimes now. She finds a dude hiding in a closet, scared him so hard he pees himself, mocks him for peeing himself, then finds a Templar being seduced by a desire demon. She's keeping him in this hallucination of a happy family life. Again, moral quandary here. Lupu decides to kill them, because violence is never the answer. Violence is a question. And the answer is YES. YES. THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS YES. Then…the fade section. After a sloth abomination casts a spell on the player's party, you have a 3 hour long puzzle section with little roleplaying.

Bottom line is that Wynn has a nightmare about failing her students, Climb is taking a nap, and Shale is having a nightmare about being frozen again. Then she kills the demon. There's honestly not that many options to make demon deals is there? The mage who tried to fight Uldred, the biggest and baddest abomination, Niall is also in the fade. But he's a dead body in the real world. Good thing he has the “litany of adralla” which prevents blood mages from inhabiting your brain! So Lupu yoinks it from his corpse. Hey everyone! Look it's Cullen! He was in her Origin for seven seconds. And he has a crush on Lupu!???!?!??!?! She mocks him for it. He says that they HAVE to slaughter EVERYTHING in the harrowing chamber! They could be abomination's or blood mages! But Lupu says no.

So now the final battle with Uldred! Lupu was considering siding with him, but then he tries to make her serve him. We all know Lupu only serves 41 people. She casts this insane new fire spell, slaughter’s Uldred, and saves the Senior enchanter! Circle of Magi, joined the army! Yayyyyyy~su. Wynn joins Lupu because it's the “right thing to do”...yes. Definitely. Lupusregina is famed for her morality.

Back at Camp, Lupu has Wynn now! Lupu calls her old. That's going to be a running theme. Wynn reminds her of Yuri’s worst parts…the prudeness. Lupu loves her big sister, but she thinks Yuri is the opposite of fun. Also Lups found this black grimoire which she gives to Morrigan. Because it's not Stolas’s grimoire, no no. It's Flemeths.

So that's about it for today. Thanks for reading! Remember to give your local werewolf head pats.

[lawoflupusregina]

Dragon Age Origins: Honnleath and Soldier's Peak (DLC)

Welcome back everyone! Now, a restatement of the law of Lupusregina. It's a law of physics I made up. “If a video game has a character or build creator, Lupusregina Beta from Overlord can and will be created in it.”

So we left off at camp, with Lupusregina pranking everyone and being hated. Oh Lupu! Never change. She heads off to Sulcher's path and speaks to a merchant. The merchant hands her a free Golem control rod! Hooray! Bad news. The golem doesn't come with it. The golem is in a Southern village, Honnleath. Booooooo. So she runs over there and brings Climb, Sten, and Morrigan with her. Honnleath is overrun. So, she has her fun. Apparently the activation phrase she was given for the golem doesn't work, so she finds the former owner. The golem killed it's former master, and his son won't give her the activation phrase because “my daughter's missing helppppp!!!” Acting like her can't just go to the orphanage and get a new one. So she heads over, finds his daughter, but oh no! A demon is manipulating her. Now Lups has ZERO issues with dealing with demons. However, making a deal with this demon has no reward and makes you do a puzzle. So Lupusregina just kills em. The demon possesses the little girl, and Lupusregina has to kill the abomination. The father is sad, but hey! Free golem!

The Golem is named Shale, and has free will. Free will to hate pigeons. Do not let Shale find Eclair. For Lupusregina’s primary party make up, I figured Climb, Shale, and Sten made the most sense. Climb because he's a dog and doesn't whine at all. Shale, because it's a golem, dislikes humans, ruthless, and Lupu escorts Golems in the series. Sten, because he dislikes humanity and is ruthless. Little side note here, Shales gender is really confusing. It used to be a female dwarf, but then became a golem, and I'm pretty sure says that it doesn't have a gender, and the game refers to it as “It”, but then when it's discovered that Shale used to be Shayle it uses “she”, and it's all just really confusing. But the codex calls Shale it in the first entry, so I'm using it. Cool? Cool.

Anyway, then Lups buys some gifts for the party because I figured that if I'm using the feastday pranks then I may as well use the feastday gifts. Included amongst these is a pet rock for Shale, which Lupu named Gargantua. Also she gave all the generic gifts that had been collecting dust to Shale, because fwendship :3.

Then this dude called “Levi of the coins” (awesome name btw) tells her about this old grey warden fortress. A free fortress? Yes please! Man, free golem and now free fortress? Lupu is lucky! She brings Climb, Shale, and Alistair because he's the more wardeny of them. While they're there they also try to clear his great-great-grandmothers name or whatever. Bottom line is, the wardens revolted against a tyrant, got stack wiped, tried using blood magic to save themselves, and failed. Getting Warden Commander Sophia possessed…again, Lupus has no qualms about demon deals. But Sophia wasn't putting up some good bargaining, and that armor would look sickkkkkk on Alistair. So she kills her. Then she finds a blood mage and warden named Avernus, who's basically a mad scientist. She uses his dark research to become stronger, close the tear in the fade banishing the demons, and tells him to continue his research! What? She doesn't want to die of the Darkspawn taint! Oh yeah. Wardens have, at most, 30 more years in them after drinking the Darkspawn blood before they die. Lupusregina definitely doesn't harbor resentment towards Alistair for that. Nope…none at all.

Fortress obtained, she has Levi's brother upgrade “This Machine” so it can accept runes now! Runecraft™ achieved, with 2 journeyman flame runes. Shizu and Neia would be so proud…she heads to Denerim to buy a helmet for Sten and procure some “Dwarven crafts! Fine, Dwarven crafts! Direct from Orzammar!” But a Knight who was at Ostagar challenges her to a duel. They head to a back alley, and Lupusregina just chooses to bring her whole party to the fight. Bro got burnt to a crisp.

That's pretty much it for this entry, and remember! Buy runecraft™, OR THE SUBHUMANS WIN.

[lawoflupusregina]

Dragon Age Origins: Ostagar and Lothering

And we're back!

So Lupusregina is in Ostagar now. She talks to the kennel master and agrees to get a flower to heal a doggie. Lupusregina meets up with her two other warden recruits, a former cutpurse and thief named Daveth and potential racist Jory. She experiences even more casual racism while she goes around being a nuisance. This isn't in Slaine, just a reminder. Then some murder to get a key from a caged up deserter. She's not gonna open that chest though. Just gonna let it marinate in some blight for a bit. Then lie to a elf to get a longsword she won't use. Then she meets Alistair. A former Templar trainee, Alistair is a comical grey warden.

Sidenote: Look at this stupid hat. https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Apprentice_Cowl . I had Lupu wear that. I am so sorry.

So Duncan Donuts needs her to do more stuff for him before she can do the joining. Get three vials of Darkspawn blood and some treaties. Easy. So she heads to the wilds to get to that.

So first of all, why is Lupusregina becoming a grey warden? I mean, she doesn't care a whole lot for non Nazarickan's. Well the way I'm interpreting it, is that she was sent to prepare Ferelden for invasion. But then the Blight begins. If the Darkspawn win and conquer Ferelden, then that's pretty much it. The Darkspawn are monster’s. Not Troll or Goblin “monsters”, no like they don't have a language or really any sort of culture. If they win, then they're going to burn cities and slaughter pretty much everyone. Alongside that, the blight ruins the land. Making it unusable for farming, spread disease, and just ugly. So if the Darkspawn win, what's the point of conquest? Defeating the Darkspawn is integral to Ainz’s plan. Add on to how I'm roleplaying her, the way I see it she's not going full genocide. She doesn't kill EVERYONE. Some people have a use. But if they aren't needed by Ainz, or needed to destroy the Darkspawn? They at least can be a fun toy for our favorite wolf. Currently for weaponry I'm using a staff, because mages can't really use melee until they get arcane warrior which is available at level 7. Armor is just robes, because she wears a maid dress.

Back to Lupu things. Some guy is bleeding out and needs help. He's probably dead anyway (she has healing spells and bandages) and she can't waste any time (she wastes time fighting a demon and looting). So she kills him. Alistair is a whiny baby about it. She also finally meets the Darkspawn in battle! “Burn baby burn, disco inferno~su!” and finds the warden ruins. But the treaties are gone, taken by Morrigan, the witch allergic to shirts. Well it was her mom, but I couldn't pass up my bit. So Lupu gets the treaties from the swamp witches, heads back to Ostagar and undergoes the joining. Apparently she has to drink the Darkspawn blood. This kills Daveth and Jory refuses to do it and pulls his sword. Duncan kills him. Lupu drinks of the joining chalice, and is now a grey warden.

Battle time! Lupusregina isn't in the battle. Her and Alistair have to go and light a beacon to let Teryn Loghain, the head general, know when to charge and flank the Darkspawn. Bad news though. The beacon tower is overrun with Darkspawn. So her and Al fight through, slaying an ogre and lightning the beacon. Loghain retreats. The king, most of the army, and almost all the grey wardens die. Lups and Alistair are saved by Morrigan’s Mom. So Loghain betrayed everyone. That sucks. But the blight is still happening. Lupusregina is going to have to go around Ferelden, using the treaties to gain support of the Elves, Dwarves and Mages. Alistair also says they should get the help of Eamon Guerrin, Arl of Redcliffe. Morrigan's Mom hands us Morrigan as some extra help, then off they go!

Little exposition cutscene showing political instability as Loghain attempts to claim the throne, and Lupu is attacked by Darkspawn on the road. But who's that? It's a bird? It's a plane? Nope! It's the dog we saved at Ostagar! Lupu keeps it, because canine solidarity, and names it Climb. As she heads on to the nearest village, Lothering, she runs into bandits and kills them despite their surrender. Then she helps a crooked profiter, finds some of Loghain's soldiers hunting her down in a tavern, and kills them despite them surrendering. She's at like a war crime an hour so far. Also this woman who's says God talked to her named Leliana rolls up and starts following her. The more the merrier! On that point, there's also this ashy giant in a cage named Sten. He's a Qunari. A new race? Welp, looks like she has to save him! (So he can tell about his people for info to give Ainz sama) She threatens a priest for the key to his cage and saves him! Finally she hits level 7, and you know what that means! Arcane warrior!

Because she uses a crosier in the show and crosiers aren't in this game, I think using a maul is the best we can do. So yeah, now waifu has bonker. This generic maul will be lovingly called “This Machine”. As in, “This Machine slays Darkspawn”.

Later she also saves a Dwarven merchant and his son. Bodahn and Sandal respectively. While at camp she can buy things from them. So she buys pranks and prank all her companions. They all hate her now. Morrigan and Sten are a little indifferent though? Most companion groups are like found families. This one is more like Lupusregina and her dog, plus some people who are contractually obligated to be present. Alistair does not like her one bit. In fact, this is the first time I've gotten his negative lines.

So, that's where I suppose we'll leave it for today. Tune in next time to see the cutest war criminal again!

[lawoflupusregina]

Dragon Age Origins: Build and Origin

Hello everyone! This is going to be a new series I'll attempt, called the law of Lupusregina.

The Law of Lupusregina is a law of physics I made up, which states: “If a video game has a build or character creator, then Lupusregina Beta from Overlord can and will be created in it.”.

So I've chosen to make her in Dragon Age Origins. An amazing RPG created by bioware.

Now, some quick lore. Dark fantasy world, where there's these things called Darkspawn. They suck. They want to ruin everything. People don't like that, so the Grey Wardens were made to fight them.

Onto the build! So Lupusregina is, of course, a werewolf cleric. But Dragon Age Origins does not have playable werewolves and it doesn't have clerics. So I chose to go for a elf mage with specializations (subclasses) of Arcane warrior and spirit healer. I chose Elf and not human because the only choices you have are Human (Overlord is about not being a stinky human), Elf, or Dwarf. (Dwarves cannot be mages.) So I went with Elf. Also Elves are better with Magic. For skills we're gunning for Coercion, due to her being a sneaky manipulative Wolfie. For spells, we're focusing on healing spells and buffs because cleric and fire spells because she uses a lot of those. Origin, your playable backstory, is standard Mage origin.

Mages are born in dragon age, not made. Because of their connection to the fade, the dream world. All mages found are sent to the circle of Magi. Where the templar's watch over them, and if the mages show signs of forbidden blood magic or demon possession they get killed. The idea I had here was that Nazarick somehow got knowledge of Thedas and Ferelden (where the game takes place) and sent Lupu there as a spy to prepare it for conquest. So Lups has to undergo her final test. The harrowing. Go to the dream realm, and throw down with a demon. Easy peasy. She even committed an extra murder on the way! Frickin spirit of valor. Being all…valorous. When she wakes back up, her “friend” Jowan is trying to talk to her. She bullies him. Fuckin Jowan. Being all…Jowanus. Talk to the head enchanter to get some new robes and a staff, then a chore escorting this grey warden named Duncan. Apparently he wants mages to fight the Darkspawn. Because a new blight is on it’s way waoao. After She's done with that, Jowan drags us away to meet his girlfriend!!1!1!1!!1! More bully. Fuck you Jowan.

So Jowan is going to be made Tranquil. Essentially lobotomized. This sucks so he wants his phylactery, a vial of his blood so the templar's can hunt him down if he escapes, destroyed. But he needs us to do his dirty work. Because we're the protagonist of a video game, and Lupu is chaotic and sees it as a good chance to fly the coop, she says sure! Also, because the phylactery’s are in the repository. Where all the artifacts are kept. So may as well take some souvenirs, eh? She does a quick side quest to kill some spiders, run through the basement repository, steal some artifact’s and destroy the phylactery! But when she get’s out, oh no! Templar's! They're gonna scare Jowans gf straight with MAGE JAIL. So Jowan casts a blood magic spell, GASP BETRAYAL, and his girlfriend hates him now so he runs away. She's probably gonna be killed or sent to MAGE JAIL, but Duncan sees us as powerful and as a “good person” because she helped a friend in need…sureeeeee Duncan. Sure. So now she's off to Ostagar to fight the Darkspawn! She even meets the king as well! She's cordial, enough, to him. Because she should put a good example for Nazarick, and she is capable of acting like a esteemed noble. But we have to do one final thing to become a Grey Warden. The joining.

So that's where I'll leave it for now. Peace out, and remember to update your blight insurance. We're long overdue.
