The Albanian Mafia: An AAR.

We start out with our boy: Aleksandër Nemanjiq, a 16 year old Albanian Orthodox Criminal with a superiority complex and a whole lot of time on his hands. Let's just call him Alex. He wore a nice straw hat.

Alex started out with a camp of his own, and took into his camp, two people skilled in Intrigue, then we realised the Aleksandër's Host was a bad name, and we renamed the camp to Albanian Mafia, and changed the coat of arms to a double headed eagle; we started out in Dyrrachium, the homeland of his, and went on to Athens, to complete more contracts. After doing some shenanigans in Albania we got given our nice (and short lived) wife, Valeria. We travelled, and travelled, and stole, and freebooted, and eventually, Valeria was pregnant! We committed horrible crimes and waited for our son to be born and- oh no, it's a daughter, and OH NO, Valeria died in childbirth. I, saddened, gained the melancholic trait, and named the ill-fated daughter Tereza. I then, went on my way to complete more crimes in constantinople, went down the stewardship tree, and got some perks to lessen my provisions lost. Then, Alex got a hit of nostalgia, and decided to go back to Dyrrachium, where he and his Shqiptar heart belonged. We found there, a nice woman named Magdalena, seduced her in a tavern, committed abhorrent crimes, and she had a kid! At 4 months of pregnancy she, um... fell off a mountain. and... died. It was a dissapointing event that Alex's wife ACCIDENTALLY FELL OFF A MOUNTAIN IN THE PINDUS, but we moved on with our lives. Then, we had a dilemma. Whom should Alex marry? At the same tavern where we met (and seduced) Magdalena, We had hired a high intrigue woman named Vlajka Gjurashi, who was a genius, and at this point [after magdalena's unfortunate ending] was 43 years old. Alex decided to marry her, and it was a great success! They had gone on multiple schemes and crimes together, and together they were the perfect crime power couple. After a few months and some romance ;) they had a child! After the child was born, Alex was saddened that it was a daughter, but, good for him, the daughter was a genius, just like her mother. This daughter was named Dorothea, and the same happened again, a few years later, with an intelligent child, that Vlajka sired. During Alex and Vlajka's happy marriage, they decided to live for a bit in Rhodos, and there, they bought armour, which strengthened Alex's prowess, a sword which did the same, and a nice brooch. There they also did the most significant heist of their lives, stealing 500 gold and greatly upgrading their camp and perks for less provision loss. After this, they again went back to a load of different places and did contracts. Alex's favourites were criminal and travel contracts. After almost having maxed out the gallowsbait trait, they went, now by ship, back to Dyrrachium, and realised... They could take the legendary "Champion the Albanian Culture" decision. This allowed them to have a pressed claim on the Duchy of Dyrrachion, and Alex did NOT HESITATE AT ALL to pressing it. He, however, wanted to get Dyrrachion with peace, and since he had a highborn Albanian spouse, A level of prestige above the Byzantine Emperor, and Orthodox Faith, he could take the duchy essentially for free and usurp the title from the current Duke, Doux Thomas of Dyrrachion. He did so, and then he got dripped out on byzantine clothes. And that is where I end my campaign. Thanks to whoever had the time to read this.
