Bechdel Test?The Bechdel Test checks whether a game has at least two named female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. A simple measure of representation.— Fails the test

The game is set in a historical period dominated by male rulers and focuses on dynastic and military struggles, making it improbable for two named female characters to have a conversation about something other than a man.
