War for the West is an InteractiveFiction game created by the company Hosted Games. Released on the 14th of November 2019 by author Lucas Zaper. Almost 80 years ago, your family was the most powerful of the Sielcs, the rightful rulers of the Western Kingdom, a Kingdom that encompassed four of the five provinces of the Western Peninsula. The Sielcs ruled the West from their home province of Sielcia, the Dullacs ruled over the fertile lands of Dullis, the Stargaze Family ruled over the plains of Farhall, and the PC's ancestors ruled over the province which separates Dullis from Sielcia. The fifth province, Boglan, existed as petty Kingdom. Unfortunately for the Westerners, the Eastern King of Ludland, Mathias Mainstrel, claimed the Western Peninsula as part of their Kingdom. After 3 years of bloody struggle, the Western Kingdom is dismantled and incorporated in the new realm of Ludland.

Choosing the 'kind father' option provides the PC with the lowest starting treasury, whilst the 'southern' background is the one that has the least starting money. Combine the two traits, the PC will have only 1800 starting aurens in their treasury. Those money are meant for the repairs of the damaged infrastructure, upgrades to the existing infrastructure, recruiting new conscripts, training the current conscripts, dealing with the Jeor's deamnd of 1000 aurens, and many many other expenses. Good luck trying to juggle all of this with the starting treasury without using cheats, borrowing money or having to deal with a rebellion in the first month of your rule!

** Lyper, to Sessanah. Even when betrayed by the PC, he still refuses to wield.
** Sons of the Snake, to Boglan. They will never give up the struggle against the Meinstrels. Subverted, since they are not as loyal to their captains as would be desired.
** Vradnir, to the PC. He will always stand by the PC's side, no matter what. The only time when he turns against the PC is when the PC goes mad and starts [[spoiler:a genocide against their own subjects]].
* TheUnfettered: Most nobles in the War for the West qualify. Some more than others, however.
** [[spoiler:Daedros]] and his accomplices murder, torture, lie and betray casually in order to save the world from a demon apocalypse.
** The Dagorians massacre innocents en masse, so that they might [[spoiler:wake a dragon buried beneath the earth]].

* UndyingLoyalty:
** Brendell,to Noyedas. She would never accept anyone else as liege, not even [[spoiler:the rightful Sielc inhritor]].
** Dagorians, to their High Prophet. They will kill others and themselves if need be. Subverted, since it is mostly related to their madness.
** Hellen of the Streams, to King Vytheo IV. She knew his cause was doomed, but went with him anyway.
** Lodka, to Wents. He would never abandon his claim to Went, neither for love nor honor.

* RichSutiorPoorSuitor: The only suitor is truly 'poor' is Ullus, as all the other marriage options are nobles. Nonetheless, some are more advantageous than others. The PC may choose either Dannel or Danna Dullac, who are from the richest Western fief, but also the least exciting. The Northern princesses do not come from a very rich kingdom, but are definitely more interesting. Vyden is also exciting, rich, but does not have prestigious blood. [[spoiiler:Noyedas]] doesn't really care for the PC, but he is one of the most powerful nobles in the West, with the most prestigious of bloodlines.

** [[spoiler:Daedros Dullac]] can become king if he either kills or captures the PC. He also believes prophecies word for word, is capable of patricide and doesn't even blink when he has to torture prophets to see the future. Would qualify as AxCazy.

** A PC who trusts anybody blindly will be in for a nasty surprise when they are stabbed in the back.
** Going into the Lion's Mouth is a very bad idea. The PC is safe protected by their own army in their own homeland. Why would they go pay homage to a king so weak that he is eliminating himself as a ruler?
** Going to Ehael and trusting [[spoiler:The Sanctified]] out of pure piety is commendable. Stupid, but commendable.
** A female PC who just sits on her hands as [[spoiler:Noyedas]] makes himself king and transforms her in a symbolic ruler has earned her death.
** [[spoiler:Noyedas]] blindly trusts a PC who only says 'I will join you.' Subverted, since he can also take a hostage from the PC's side and an oath during medieval times ought to be taken seriously. Nonetheless, it was quite stupid of him to entrust the PC to keep faith by giving NOTHING in return for the help, especially if they have a larger army than [[spoiler:the Sielccian one]].

** The PC's province, if it is conquered by [[spoiler:Sielccia]]. Also true if the PC's ancestors were foreigner conquerors.
** The Western Peninsula in general, after the Meinstrel conquest. Especially for the Sielcners who have been opressed for decades by the Meinstrels.
** Wuria, as Slakar murdered most of the nobles and united their petty kingdoms using an iron fist.
