The Way of Kings CK3

Active development has ended, but I will fix any reported bugs and update to include any volunteer-contributed content. However, the mod will not be updated to 1.13 or later versions of CK3 unless someone else takes over development.

Speak again the hallowed oaths;
Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
The Knights Radiant must stand again.

Way of Kings (WoK) is to Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive what A Game of Thrones is to George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, and this mod changes the setting to the world of Roshar. The mod implements new stuff for all vanilla features, and also has brand new features like artifacts, books, magic, dungeon delving, and a brand new economic resource: Investiture!

I have seen the end, and have heard it named. The Night of Sorrows, the True Desolation. The Everstorm.

The world of Roshar is regularly swept by massive, magical storms that have fundamentally changed the geography and ecology of the planet. Humans exist, but they are far from alone on the planet, and most animals are crustaceans, ranging from insect-like to humanoid to greatshelled chulls and chasmfiends.
Massive, magical weapons called Shardblades can turn individuals into near-unstoppable fighters, and the struggle over influence, shards and gemstones has become the real war. Looming over these events are signs of a much greater threat, where magic may return to the world after thousands of years, and the Knights Radiant may rise again to defend... or destroy it.

They named it the Final Desolation, but they lied. Our gods lied. Oh, how they lied. The Everstorm comes. I hear its whispers, see its stormwall, know its heart.

Will this mod spoil the books/Do I need to have read the books to enjoy this mod?
The mod is designed more as a sandbox than as a strict narrative, so that depends on how sensitive you are to worldbuilding spoilers. The vast majority of plot-relevant events that could happen in the mod can also go in wildly different directions than in canon. If you haven't read the books, then you don't really know whether or not any given outcome is what happens in the book or not, you just know that the world is set up in a way such that what you experienced could realistically happen.

Cartography
o The Highstorm crashes across the map at regular intervals.
o New terrain types created to fit the Rosharan world - it certainly matters whether a castle in the mountains is exposed to the east or sheltered to the west.
o Custom shaders for deep chasms in the terrain of the Shattered Plains.

Governments
o New Highprince, Bureaucracy and Luminocracy Governments with vastly different playstyles and unique features.
o Highprinces favor Warfare, Bureaucracies favor law and can file lawsuits over claims instead of waging war, and Luminocracies unlock the endgame goal for Radiants: Restoring the Oathpact and driving the forces of the Void off the planet!
o Thaylen Elective: Favoring those with the ability to manage an economy.
o Azish Elective: Anyone can submit essays, and the outcome depends on your stats and a bit of randomness.
o Babath Elective: Favoring the Eldest.
o Discrimination based on species, eyecolor, and literacy.

Magic system
o After a stress break, characters with the appropriate personality may bond a Spren and become Radiant. Each of the Ten Radiant Orders is highly personalized - each playthrough will be vastly different!
o Radiants can swear ideals, heal from wounds, gain shards, and perform surgebinding.
o Investiture is a new geopolitical resource, on the same level as prestige and piety. Investiture must be stored in gemstones, and therefore cannot exceed your wealth.
o Radiant Culture Heads can research unique Radiant Innovations. Once all orders have been researched, you unlock the powerful Luminocracy Government type!
o The Unmade will periodically haunt various regions, driving inhabitants to war or uncontrollable feasting. Unless they can be captured and eliminated...

Artifact system
o The old Way of Kings artifact system has been moved to the official Artifact system introduced in the Royal Court DLC, but is available regardless of whether you own said DLC.
o Shardblades, Shardplates, fabrials, and oh my! Is that Nightblood?
o Majestic artifacts may be crafted by any ruler of sufficient fame level, but to craft magical fabrials you need the Artifabrian lifestyle perk.
o Famous books may be read by the literate. Illiterate characters may still leaf through their books, but the text will be written in the Women's Script.
o You can challenge other characters to duels over prestige, artifacts, or land.

Art
o Eyecolor, spren bond, and species affect your character model.
o Custom men-at-arms.
o Some holdings have special models.
o The Highstorm is on a custom map layer, rendering even at distant zoom levels so you can witness the absolute unit of a storm.
o Music by The Darkeyed Musician ( www.thedarkeyedmusician.com/ )

Above the final void I hang, friends behind, friends before. The feast I must drink clings to their faces, and the words I must speak spark in my mind. The old oaths will be spoken anew.
