Although the original title of the book was something like the autobiography of the many famed adventures of Robinson Crusoe. But the name got shortened for obvious reasons. It was written all the way back in 1719 and is basically one of the first modern novels.

Would you hear of Isla, daughter of Jorm the stalwart knight. He who's a compassionate errant paladin trying to better a world stuck in a cycle of war. While his daughter in her ambition dooms and scars her friends.

Or of Bal Gore-Strewn. The son of a defeated pair who led a rebellion and was placed in a group of ritual sacrifices only to find friends. Friends slain by others of that group of prospects to become God-Sworn champions. Of how in vengeance for his friends death he broke his heart and mercy

Lots of vengeance and blood, two pretty common themes. Is that what your going for? About how the circle of violence isn't good for anyone? Or more about how ambitions lead to bodies and war? And with the daughter of the Stalwart knight, what are her reasons for her ambitions?

Her uncle encouraged dreams of conquest and glory for her house abs advised using her friends to gather their houses forces.

Now he loves her and he liked the friends. Still convinced her to start a war in their home kingdom.

The main theme is nihilism vs idealism

What's going to represent Nihilism and how are you going to portray its flaws?

Bal's moral chaos. He's a berserking werewolf warrior man who also tries to teach the son and daughter of a random soldier he killed how to survive in this harsh world and better themselves. He sings and dances while offering kind words and in another scene bites out throats.

Power, glory, honor, kin and friends. He lives to be happy. His small circle of a viewpoint pushes him along a cycle of conflict. There will never not be a danger to his life or loved ones because he's the asshole burning cities to the ground for a King

Does Bal care if his "Kids" get killed or hurt? Or does he just not know how to do anything else? I mean like you said, you act as the King's personal enforcer and Gestop agent and sooner of later people are going to want to settle some scores with you.

He does. He thinks everything must be resolved personally and doesn't begrudge the son and daughter of the man he killed wanting him dead. He can't say sorry as he refuses to be ashamed of his feats. He lives a violent strong interesting life. And it is his.

Beneath all that is the fact of something that never left him. When his friends died, when he slaughtered the ones who killed them and they begged as his friends did to spare the others of their personal group, the only thing that mattered was the kingdom got a hero. A monster slayer, a army destroyer. Good and bad meant nothing to greatness.

He resents that. The kings and Queen's, gods and spirits, warriors and magi and farmers. They wanted exalted violence. That's what made him worthy.

So he'll be a figure worthy of terrible beautiful song. A man for epics and their tragedy. They'll know his name

What makes it sad is that he just as much a slave to the system as those royals he mocks, and either he knows and doesn't want to acknowledge it or he physically can't allow himself to admit that.

He can't allow. He's sunk deep into the fuck you got mine inner ego and self empowerment to the point of missing greater picture. Sleep
