Hello! Regarding the role swap COTL thing, would you swap the Bishops with the Knucklebones gang, or create new ones to fill that role? WHAT would the Bishops in that AU be for Narinder instead?
The Bishops and the Knucklebones gang do get swapped, yes! Mainly cause I couldn't think of anyone actually close to the Lamb other than them, honestly.
So! The Bishops are still Nari's siblings! Instead of just finding them randomly in a region, I think that Nari would have to free them, like the rooms where you fight a bunch of cultists to free a new follower. Leshy in Darkwood, then Heket in Anrua, Kallamar in Anchordeep, and lastly Shamura in Silk Cradle.
Baal and Aym swap with Ratu and Ratoo respectively. Baal wouldn't be a former vessel, though, more just a follower because his mom, Forneus, is. But he'd still find and guide Nari to the Cult. I like to think Aym and Baal, at least in the au aren't actually Nari's kids, just two young guys that really just think that Nari is cool. Like an epic uncle sort of relationship.
