But did you know it is also the feast of the Blessed Charles de Blois, erstwhile duke of Brittany? Yep, that's because he fought the final(ish) battle of the Breton War of Succession at Auray on 29 September 1364, where he died! And boy was it dramatic 23311

You get to have more miserable, self-hating stunted people instead. YAY YOU WIN. If you just want us gone, then yeah, that's a victory condition. 4918113
