| Marignon rose out of the ashes of [[ermor-ma|Ermor]], just like [[ulm-ma|Ulm]], but under a different banner. All that it had for repelling the shadows of Death was faith & austerity. The peasants labored under feudal lords, who payed their tithes and diligently served the Inquisition, all in the name of survival. The Inquisition was assembled by the House of Fiery Justice, a powerful Priesthood that dedicated itself to purging heresy & eliminating Witches that used their Magic for selfish means. The start of the Middle Age rebuffed the faith & fanaticism of Marignon with the undeath of Ermor, and (if you so decide) rewarded it with the arrival of an Awakening God. | Marignon rose out of the ashes of [[ermor-ma|Ermor]], just like [[ulm-ma|Ulm]], but under a different banner.

| Marignon is a nation of Fire, Faith, and <del>Flagellants</del> Effing Awesome Knights of the Chalice. Like other medieval human-only nations (pretty much just Ulm & [[man-ma|Man]]), its Magic diversity is not very good; unlike the other two, however, Marignon's two paths it focuses on are almost-purely offensive. One does not simply pick Marignon and avoid gunning for attack spells & Elementals in their Research. For what can't be dealt with by your old-&-frail Mages, you have Knights of the Chalice, [[Sacred]] Heavy Cavalry that can be recruited anywhere with a Fort, a Temple, and an ample pool of Resources. You also have Crossbowmen & melee infantry, but they don't mesh well with your other options, and they're not as long-lasting as a good group of horsies with a firm [[Bless]]. | Marignon is a nation of fire and faith with a sacred knightly order.

These guys repel hostile [[Dominion]] even if you **haven't** hired them, in provinces and [[fort|forts]] that belong to you, having a 30% chance to remove an enemy candle from each of these places each turn (and a 60% chance if there's a [[Temple]]). They're less effective at spreading your own Dominion, able to do so only to a maximum of 1 candle (2 where there's a [[Temple]]). |

| ***??Holy Pyre??:** Evocation 4 {{path>F2}}. A situational side-grade to ??Falling Fires?? that lets your weaker mages (anyone you aren't recruiting in the capital) deal a lot of damage to undead and Demons. It's also a decent alternative to ??Fireball?? in that it **isn't** a missile spell and thus has a much higher likelihood of hitting the enemy. | ***??Holy Pyre??:** Evocation 4 {{path>F2}}.

| ***??Contact Harbinger??:** Conj 6 {{gems>25S}} {{path>S4}} (summon {{:nations:ma:marignon:Harbinger.png?nolink}} ??Harbinger??x1). The summon you should be using the most. As a {{path>A3}} Angel, the Harbinger is a strong thing. It gives you a mobile ??Air Elemental?? Summoner, a ??Thunder Strike??r, plus access to other Air thug spells. Harbingers can either join armies for support magic, fly around raiding with thug gear and their high mobility, or stay in reserve as magic-phase thugs with ??Cloud Trapeze??. | ***??Contact Harbinger??:** Conj 6 {{gems>25S}} {{path>S4}} (summon {{:nations:ma:marignon:Harbinger.png?nolink}} ??Harbinger??x1). Summons a [[flying]] {{path>A3}} angel. The Harbinger is mobile ??Air Elemental?? summoner, a ??Thunder Strike??r, and can work as a magic-phase thug with ??Cloud Trapeze??, though they are somewhat pricey for the job. Perhaps more significant is their ability to provide access to high-level {{misc:magic:air.png?14&nolink}}air magic (??Fog Warriors??, ??Mass Flight??, ??Wrathful Skies??) when wired into a communion with a ??Crystal Matrix??, which is much more straightforward than trying to do the same with a max {{path>A1}} ??Grand Master?? |
