Algirdas/Interactions

This is a list of interactions with Algirdas.

Introduction

Greetings, sir. Would you by any chance hail from Lithuania?

You must have me confused with someone else, friend.

"My most humble apologies. Allow me to introduce myself -- I am Algirdas. My family name I would prefer to keep secret.

My ancestor received his title from the Grand Prince Algirdas at the end of the XIV century. For military valor he were granted vast lands near the town of Bryansk. Since that day all the eldest sons in our family bear his name. Our house served the Grand Duchy of Lithuania faithfully for three centuries, while our borderlands were always an apple of discord between Lithuania and Moscow. Our estate slowly fell into decay, yet we still remained their masters. However, recently the Moscow Tsar gave it to one of his nobles.

All I have left is my grandfather's sword and my knightly honor."

Well, if so -- you're welcome to join me.

Thank you. I have led squadrons into battle, and I can be your right arm during a fight. And I can wield the pike like nobody can!

Just so long as our party does not fail to maintain knightly honor, I am content. Honor is the first thought of a Lithuanian noble, even a penniless one.

I am glad we understand each other.

It is a pleasure to deal with you, sir. But I have a small request. I need to raise 250 thaler urgently, to buy a family tree which was composed and sealed by the stamp of a King of Arms, whom I met along the wat by miraculous chance, nothing less. With such a parchment in my hands, I could quite well reclaim my lands...

For a noble, one's family tree is everything. Take the money, you're welcome to it.

I think you might not get along so well with my lads. So long!

Every men determines for himself what is their just cause. I believe I am not the best companion for you.

We'll talk later, friend. I am in a hurry.

Reencounter

I am ready to follow he who fights for the just cause.

Retirement

(player), it is time we part ways. I heard war has flamed up in Bryansk, and I wish to head there, to try to recover my stolen lands. Thank you for everything, and remember me kindly.

Rehire

(player)… It seems that acquiring new lands under your command would be easier than returning to my old estates! I hope you don't mind us fighting under the same banner once more?

Story: Vilna

I hear the bells of Vilna! The ancient capital of Lithuania! Oh how many memories they call up...

Can you hear the wolves howling? It is a good sign. Old men say that the Lithuanian Prince Gediminas hunted in the lands and killed an auroch. As he lay sleeping after the hunt, he saw a giant iron wolf in his dream. The dream was prophetic -- soon the hill where the prince rested had become a mighty fortress.

There were times when the Princes of Vilna ruled all the lands from the North Sea to the Black Sea...

Like Quotes

Ingri

Blessed be the day when Ingri arrived in our company! Food, water and... other joys of army service. This means a lot for true military men.

Our quartermaster is always up to the mark. God knows, were she not of simple folk, I would have offered her my hand and heart. A better housekeeper for my estate I could not find in the whole world.

Dislike Quotes

Fedot

(player)! I would like to say that Fedot is not the best of company. He refers to my homeland of Bryansk as native Russian lands, while any man with a hint of education knows they have always been part of Lithuania!

If he persists, this will end with a duel quite surely.

Nogai

Nogai! He took the best place right under my nose and did not even apologize! If that Tatar cannot learn to behave like a man of culture, I shall teach him a lesson!

Worse yet, during battle he only thinks of taking prisoners, and not of the tasks before him. You only hear him saying "yesir, yesir". He shall turn our company into nothing more than a Horde.

Retreating

Oh, run from battle is a disgrace for me. I will not render such service..
