Editing Local Lord (section)

==Tropes of realismfag/local lord posting==

*Adventurers being either bumbling fools, [[Murderhobo|murderous outlaws]], or delirious madmen to be killed on sight by the local lord, peasants, or other authorities.	
*Absurd levels of [[grimderp|medieval stasis]], often to the point where common medieval everyday knowledge is presented as outright blasphemous, incomprehensible, and alien.
**Mandatory illiteracy everywhere outside of the clergy, each hamlet often speaking a wholly different language.
***No safe and fast travel or sailing, with trips between neighboring villages taking months.
*Magic being either outright absent, or presented as an extremely rare, dull and [[wat|realistic]] one-of-a-kind event, on the assumption that this would enhance the game experience.
**If magic is present, it is usually in the form of anti-magic effects at the expense of adventurers.
***A further step up being endemic witch-hunting and summary execution by burning at the stake, often for trivial nonsense reasons (including but not limited at: crop rotation, potatoes, literacy, basic medicine, being a foreigner).
*Absence of vivid colors, with everything being dull and covered in various layers of dirt, mud, blood, and more mud.
*Feudalism, ruthless oppression and tyranny presented as the ideal form of government that is being actively threatened by everyone not submitting to it.
**Sometimes, this diverges into [[/pol/|IRL politics]] [[skub|shitflings]].
*War, famine, pillaging and rebellion-crushing as the constant and normal state of life.
*Ridiculous Xenophobia, ranging the whole spectrum from cautious distrust towards [[tiefling|demonic humanoids]], to aversion towards [[demihuman]]s, to [[nazi|rabid racism]], to [[derp|instantaneous lynch mobs at the sight of anyone unfamiliar]].
**Again, this often degenerates into flamewars between the usual [[/pol/|moronic idiots]] and [[SJW|idiotic morons]] over real-life implications.
*100% taxes, plus 10% taxes to the catholic church.
*Rape of women, be it either by means of jus primae noctis, war rape, [[/d/|rape by monster]], or lawful punishment for female adventurers.
**Sometimes upgraded to parodistically over the top, barely veiled, or even genuine woman-hating.
***...Which leads to the usual shitflings.
*Vast standing armies of veteran men-at-arms with decades of experience, along with infallible scouts, assassins and spy networks at the service of lowly barons, thousands strong!, employed exclusively to hunt down adventurers and pillage peasants.
*''"Grim, gritty, historically accurate, medieval European, white male human fighters-only, realistic low fantasy, like Game of Thrones!"''
*''"Such Arrogance!"''
