Его не звали, но он приперся / They never called, yet he is here: WOG_Yoke

Q: What is the Yoke and how does it work?

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 09:59

A: The Yarmo is a conceptual influence embedded in the world itself, along with the System and the Summoning Mechanism. Though extremely crude and insignificant in comparison, it is inscribed. As if someone had taped a calculator to the hadron collider with duct tape and super glue.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:00

Something like that.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:00

The Yoke covers the entire world, but only the uppermost individuals (royal families, high ranks, strongest guilds, and organizations) have access to summoning rituals that are now automatically combined with the activation of the Jarmo.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:02

It means.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:02

It is not activated every time separately, it is always there and is believed to be there.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:03

When the Yoke is imposed, it leaves a kind of path in the brain, by which people (and not people) to whom the control threads of the ritual have been passed can manipulate the Summoned.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:03

Let's say there is a Chosen One.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:04

She's experienced. Already level 55+, with mental armor of the highest class. Her control circuits are passed on to a young prince of 16 yo. The first thing he does is activate Yoke and tell her that she wants to pull up her dress right now and get more pleasure than she's ever had in her life. And she pulls it up and gets it.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:05

All the mental armor is in place, and the intellect is unaffected, but she sincerely believes that:

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:05

1. This is a normal situation, and he has every right to demand such things of her. At the level of "the sky is blue," "the water is wet," etc.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:06

2. She made the decision on her own.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:06

They'll tell her to fall in love, and she will.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:07

If they tell her to be a sweet bimbo, she will, even if she has the intellect of a quantum physicist.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:07

If they tell her to go and kill, she will go and kill.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:08

They tell her to lie down in the ritual circle for the removal of the class - she will lie down.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:08

If they tell her to forget an episode from her life, she'll forget.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:09

Alchemy, charms, and other goodies are only auxiliary tools. To eliminate even the tiniest percentage of the probability of not even a rebellion, but a slight misunderstanding of the situation.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:16

Is it possible to break the Yoke as a ritual? As a concept?

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:17

It's a good question.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:17

Is it possible to take the Summoned out from under it?

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:18

It's an even better question.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:18

Both are possible, but how is a spoiler.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:18

Q: Are Chained used in bed? In between uses in combat. It's such an ego boost when you're being served by an entire Hero.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:19

A: Of course yes.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:19

Rather, almost always yes. They even diligently select controllers of the opposite sex. But I was talking about the fact that no one keeps Heroes for such use alone.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:20

Not everyone is so uptight and conceited, of course, but there must be more than a few such uses. It's like riding on an aircraft carrier to a pizza parlor.
* * *

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:21

Q: Are there states that summon heroes without Yoke or are unaware of Yoke's existence? Is it even possible to change the ritual to summon Heroes without Yoke?

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:22

A: Yarmo is no secret. The Yoke is a superstructure in the world System. Once the Yoke is created and set up, ALL Heroes pass through the Yoke when they are summoned.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:23

Even if someone did not know that it was being created (although many people were involved in the creation and preparation, including the same elves), very soon it empirically came to them.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:23

The Yoke is a super-awesome hack of the System itself, created by literally the entire world and most of the Gods.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:24

Any ritual for summoning a Hero automatically affects the Yarmo. The summoning rituals themselves are the same (except for minor differences and modifications, which are made separately) as they were thousands of years ago.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:25

You can't change the ritual so that you summon a Hero who isn't Chained. You just can't, not at all, on a systemic level.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:26

Since Yoke is not an original part of the System, it is work not without accidents. Once again the analogy about a calculator taped to a hadron collider. Both are high technology, but the level is still different.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:28

There is a chance that a Hero will not be hit by Yoke - such are killed immediately. They are killed because the appearance of an unaffected by Yoke will be found out. How this is a spoiler, but they will know. And no one wants to be accused of sloppy use of nuclear weapons.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:29

...So the fact that somewhere walks a hero without a yoke is by and large already known?

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:29

A: That's the thing, no - the coincidence of a huge number of factors allowed Hero to go unnoticed.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:30

That's it - no one knew about him, otherwise this story would have been frustratingly short.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:30

Q: And anyway, who is able to build something on top of the Summon System?

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:33

A: The best minds in the world, backed by the lion's share of the Pantheon and pouring in finances from all sides.
* * *

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:33

Q: Who summons the Heroes?

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:34

A: Humans, elves (various types), occasional dwarves, and beastfolk. Orks, demons, and other crap don't summon at all. Seems to be, but what's really there is unknown, and some rumors do leak out.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:35

Q: How big is Yoke's scale?

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:35

A: Yoke works all over the world, allowing you to adjust the summoning and brains of the hero as you see fit. In theory, you can even do nothing except for Yoke's effect - it unknowingly increases obedience and consent on the part of the hero.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:36

It's just that the summoners prefer to be on the safe side in case of unforeseen accidents. A few Chosen Ones who gained mental clarity at the wrong time (albeit briefly) taught them to be cautious. In fact, if you're raising a Hero for meat, you don't need to use the extra effects. But if you're raising a loyal assassin and an obedient toy, you'd better take precautions.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:37

Q: What gives the title of Hero?

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:37

A: And how do you think all sorts of office slaves grow up to be of such caliber to found kingdoms, assemble harems of deadly magicians and save worlds?

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:38

The Hero's title is the same booster as the gift of classes. It allows you to intuitively understand human nature, to persuade and guide. Without this, a Hero would simply be a particularly strong fighter and not, in fact, a Hero.

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:39

Q: Let's imagine a situation, some clan has a Summoned Hero, powerful, imbued with loyalty, programmed with all the right stuff. But then a fight begins between the families, and their clan is cut down, but the aggressor is killed by the hero. A ronin without a master. What happens to the hero? The masters are gone. Will he be free, or is there some other nuance to the yoke?

Camrad_RIP 20.11.22 в 10:40

A: There are ways to make Yoke's leash go to a pre-selected target when the controller dies. Could be siblings, aunts, or uncles. As a finale, it can go to the ruler of the country or some other important person, but it's not often allowed.
