Esata the Stone Golem

Esata the Stone Golem is the leader of the Shek Kingdom and has Diplomatic Status.

She can be found in the Faction HQ in Admag along with her daughter Seto, Bayan, and 4 other of The Five Invincibles, unless World States have moved the Shek HQ.

Esata wields a legendary Meitou Fragment Axe, but is too weak to wield it and thus, quite straightforward to defeat by a skilled crossbowman. Otherwise — in melee combat — she is a force to be reckoned with. She has a Bounty from The Holy Nation and United Cities.

Players can join the Shek Kingdom by gaining 75 reputation points with it, which can be achieved by returning in diverse bounties or instantly by capturing the Bugmaster or any of the Holy Nation's leaders ( Holy Lord Phoenix, High Inquisitor Valtena or High Inquisitor Seta ) and bringing them to Esata. If players manage to kill or kidnap Esata, the Shek Kingdom leader will become Mukai The Mountain.

They wear [Masterwork] armour and have weapons manufactured by Cross.

History[]

Esata is the first of the Shek leaders to want to address their kingdom’s problem of a declining population, however this new strategic rationality has caused a divide in it’s battle hungry citizens. Fiery and fueled by her anger for her enemies, Esata is a little less conventional than other past leaders in that she places bigger victory on long-term crushing of enemies. She tries to balance prosperity with glory, while keeping the religious and warmongering aspirations of her people happy.

The Shek Kingdom puts little importance on academic education, meaning that most Shek can’t read – Esata is no exception to this and is not particularly intelligent. She does, however, have formidable battle skills and an open mind to rational thought. Her aide on the other hand, Bayan, is an impressive intellect. Although the talent of intellects is normally wasted in the traditional Shek Kingdom, Esata relies on Bayan for his advice, for the good of the nation.

“

Bayan is my sheath. without him, I’d have gotten lost in my own ego, a corpse on Holy Nation land long ago. Those Okran scum don’t deserve to be my defeaters. With Bayan at my side, the Shek will crush them once and for all. There will be no better glory than this.

”

Only the best of the Shek warrior can earn battle names, and Esata earned hers ‘the Stone Golem’ when she joined The Five Invincibles, the Kingdom’s highest ranking fighters. It was during this time that Esata served under the previous emperor, Shager, whom she challenged on his plans for a potential suicide mission against The Holy Nation. After a hard-hitting battle one day, Bayan protested against Shager’s plans for a suicide attack against The Holy Nation to regain their honor. In response to Shager’s angry threats against his ‘cowardice’, Esata stepped in and boomed, ‘the man speaks the truth. You want Bayan silenced, you’ll have to cut me down first”. She fought and defeated Shager, becoming the new leader in his place.

World States[]

If Esata the Stone Golem is killed/imprisoned there are several world states that would trigger.

Admag would fall under Berserkers rule. (It will spawn Ghost in Admag if he hasn't been killed/imprisoned)

Squin will have a town override which would include Mukai and still being under SK rule. Or handed over to Kral's Chosen if Mukai The Mountain is killed/imprisoned while Flying Bull is alive and free. If Flying Bull is killed/imprisoned as well with Mukai, Squin will fall under the control of Berserkers.

If Stack and Bad Teeth is under Shek Kingdom rule, it would fall to Kral's Chosen rule if Flying Bull is alive and free. If Flying Bull is killed/imprisoned as well, both towns will fall to ruins under The Holy Nation rule.

Hundred Guardian and Shek Warrior patrols will cease to spawn in Border Zone, Okran's Gulf and Okran's Pride regions if the World State for them to spawn there is achieved before hand.

Kamikaze patrols will start invading Border Zone, Okran's Gulf, Okran's Pride and Skinner's Roam regions. If Mukai The Mountain is alive and free they can be found patrolling Stenn Desert region.

The Holy Nation will start spawning 2 types of counter-attack patrols consisting of 3-5 Paladins, 6-8 Holy Sentinels and 30-45 Holy Chosen and another patrol consisting of 1 High Paladin, 4-6 Paladins and 6-10 Holy Servants if Holy Lord Phoenix is alive and free. The latter patrol can spawn with twice more frequency if Seto is killed/imprisoned as well.

The death/capturement of Esata the Stone Golem will also prompt a dialogue from a Paladin with the following words:

"Bless you, holy {Player Name}, how you managed to take down the Golem I'll never know.. Soon we will be purging the last of her beasts... Before the barbarians reach to our gates for blood like the psychopaths they are."
