Fear-dos

 

[Lord Bradorian]

Definetly fear, no fur kingdom

 

[Lord Bradorian]

I emphasize it like f-year-dose

 

[Lord Bradorian]

why is there a sod hill

 

[Lord Bradorian]

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

For me, it's Fire dos. Kinda like tiger used to be tyger.

 

[Lorsh]

why is there a sod hill

probably because in the recesses of my mind i got it out of sodden hill while forgetting it was already a witcher thing

however they are both just "word-word" placenames so who cares

as for why it got a name, probably just a particularly large abandoned motte with no trace of its original castle

 

[Lord Bradorian]

is Clirk to the west loyalist, reb or unknown

Well yeah, you do have to offer protection in a general sense but their vows don't typically include protection in a specific sense. This is actually why the scuffle between Lord Bradorian and Darndon is such a big deal. If they were regular serfs who got attacked you'd be obligated to provide justice if the ones who assaulted them were of equal rank, though you'd only have to provide "assurances" against attacks by social superiors. But for Knightly vassals you actually do have pretty specific legal obligations to avenge their persons. (As far as I understand)

necro from 5 pgs ago but on top of Morran getting hit with a sword one of their knights got ktfo. so I'm expecting retaliation too, even if Morran doesn't seek vengeance. hopefully the knight just got his shit rocked and didn't get brain damaged or something.

afaik neither side 'started it', but i think it's implied Morran's group went into the tavern and the Darndon group was already there, but the combat was mutual. and Freyk is concerningly close to my territory whereas Darndon is a good walk

Lorsh , dafuq is a holy cleric doing as a unit. Are they fighters or special in some way, or just bible thumpers and healers?

yeah there are probably random clerics in every reasonably large army anyway (they are more of a morale thing since they provide religious services to the camp followers and men)

i will convert the Merrandy HT clerics to postulants aka monastic valots

[Heyitsjiwon]

Heyitsjiwon I need to know, what was the *unusual* behavior that got your sister sent to a Nunnery?

Well, it hasn't been really discussed IC wise. However, what I had in mind was that way back when in the high medieval ages and late medieval ages... children who were unruly or perhap born with some sort of disorder such as aspergers, autism, etc, were sent to the church with generous donations. That way, a noble family could 1. Save face and 2. Have the church take care of the person instead of draining resources at home.

Interestingly enough, I heard from a professor a while back that there was a semi- popular belief in what is now central germany that those born with certain mental conditions were said to have been "touched by god" and that the human mind/body is unable to handle such grace/majesty of god. Thus, leaving people mentally not quite there. Hence, a lot of folks with mental disabilities were sent to the church to become married to god as they were seen to already be close to god so to speak.

Another interesting angle is also the fact that those who are mentally challenged are arguably already under grace because they do not know of sin nor the fact that they are is a state of sin. Its a very, very deep/complex issue that did happen in the past in a certain region/time period but really it is a nod to how often young noble women who were "trouble makers" were often sent to become a nun.
