There was no reason to fall in love I only gathered up the love that had fallen In that dustless white room, Yes, only one thing was falling You smile And reach out with your skinny arms You draw out "if"s, All to tell me You re a mirage Like some impossible dream Lying on a desert bed, And when the sun goes down, You re gone, you re gone, you re gone, you re gone, you re gone, Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone Before I met you, My white clothes were forever stained Thanks to a red, red lie, I came to hate that word And when I thought I had forgotten That little four-letter word, My body had filled with thorns, My body was used to thorns And it was very, very comforting, And it seemed my tears had stopped, When I had even forgotten that word, And my cheeks had dried up... In this cruelly-scorching world, Such warmth is no longer necessary Or so I thought... Hey... Don t touch me! I still remember Light red all over your fingertips, You gladly lick it off You smile And reach out with your skinny arms And those "if"s that will never come, They were all to tell me You re a mirage Like some impossible dream Lying on a desert bed, And when the sun goes down, You re gone, you re gone, you re gone, you re gone, You re gone, you re gone, you re gone, you re gone, You re gone, you re gone, you re gone, you re gone, you re gone, Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone Oh... I remember it all... These thorns... Though you let me forget them until now... Oh... I never told you... That word... I never would tell you that word... Ah... Now I ve remembered it, And it s all your fault Across the distance, I ll now tell you its name... That little four-letter word, Which I had once forgotten, And now, The name of this feeling... (Love.)

str_rumor_talki_heretics_1|he heard from a Barclay trader, whom he met in Javiksholm, that they burn Heretics at the stake there. Some of them are reputed to be Knights of the Dawn gone bad! str_rumor_talki_heretics_2|he said that a Fierdsvain abbot told him that the Heretic goddess, Erida Occisor, grows in power with every human sacrifice given her by her priests. str_rumor_talki_heretics_3|he saw a man who was unmistakably a Heretic priest. He briefly spoke to a couple of urchins, handed them some coins and the urchins promptly scarpered off. str_rumor_talki_heretics_4|he was told by a prisoner, a Vanskerry Raider, that the Heretics are terrifying the whole Fierdsvain. They are taking peasants from all the villages and sacrificing them to their Dark Goddess. str_rumor_talki_heretics_5|he said that a Nal Tar horse merchant told him that he found a dying Turkmani on the way here. He was missing an arm, and lay dying. He said something called Eyegrim the Devourer had ripped off his arm and eaten it before his very eyes! str_rumor_talki_heretics_6|he said he had talked on the road with a wandering traveller, who told him that the Knights of the Dawn have dispatched a Paladin to Pendor to help fight the Heretics. He is reputed to be a formidable fighter. str_rumor_talki_heretics_7|he heard from a farmer in the Fierdsvain that they have to guard their graveyards now, so the Heretics do not raise their buried relatives to swell their numbers. str_rumor_talki_heretics_8|he came across two women, one of whom was in shock and seemed oblivious to her surroundings. The other one told him that a Knight of the Dawn had rescued them from a horrible fate at the hands of Death Worshipers. str_rumor_talki_heretics_9|he heard two sellswords complaining that the Heretics have demons amongst them, which are almost impossible to kill. They are filthy undead things, with decaying faces. One said to the other that he could smell them well before he saw them. How revolting! str_rumor_talki_heretics_10|he heard from a merchant that the corpses he saw on the road to Janos had been gnawed and the marrow sucked right out of the bones. The Koningur is trying to quash the rumor, but it is all over the markets now. str_rumor_talki_heretics_11|he overheard a merchant in the Windholm market say that a Heretic Confessor had been seen outside the city gates. The confessor was offering a reward for knowledge of the whereabouts of one {playername}. str_rumor_talki_heretics_12|he overheard talk between an ugly old woman, probably the madam of a brothel, and a hooded man, who was most likely a Heretic Priest. He told the old bird she had best come up with more girls for the Solstice sacrifices, or she would assuredly regret it. str_rumor_talki_heretics_13|he heard from one of the caravan guards, in the alley behind the market, that the Heretics have just killed another Caravan Master, and taken his guards and apprentices for sacrifice. One lucky apprentice managed to get away and reported the ambush. str_rumor_talki_heretics_14|he heard from a Barclay historian, currently lecturing in the Abbey at Valonbray, that the Heretics were originally saintly priests, until they were lured into worship of the Dark Goddess. They are spreading all over Pendor now, and a certain danger to all travelers. str_rumor_talki_heretics_15|he heard from a farmer in the Valonbray market that the Heretic goddess has our poor Thallo Ver Shures on the run. Pity, she is a kind little goddess, for all she runs starkers through the fields waving flowers. str_rumor_talki_heretics_16|he swears the Heretics have portable altars, so they can instantly sacrifice their captives on the spot! What is Pendor coming to, that murdering perverts like the Heretics roam free, killing at will?! str_rumor_talki_heretics_17|he heard about a group of Fierdsvain Maiden Cavalry partying in the Javiksholm tavern. The innkeeper told him he overheard them say that the Heretics are ferocious fighters, though they fill their ranks with outcasts and other rabble. The lassies seemed a mite fearful, which surprised him. str_rumor_talki_heretics_18|he said that one of the wharf traders, an old friend of his, is bemoaning the fact that his business is down, because the Barclay traders do not come so often to Pendor these days. He says they are afraid of those roving bands of Heretics. str_rumor_talki_heretics_19|he said that the innkeeper in Valonbray overheard a thinly-disguised Heretic priest say that he was most annoyed at the number of potential sacrifices killed fighting, rather than merely stunned by his men. He threatened to sacrifice his own men if they do not do better. str_rumor_talki_heretics_20|he said that he ran into a Squire in service to a Knight of the Dawn. The Squire confessed that he wept at their discovery of the bodies of dozens of young girls, lying next to a Heretic altar. Their hearts had been torn from their breasts. He and the Knight hunted down and slew every last one of the evil perpetrators, but he still has nightmares about the girls. str_rumor_talki_heretics_21|he saw a Heretic Confessor threatening a hooded man in the alley behind the castle. He said the man was so affrighted that he pissed himself, all the while bowing, scraping and pleading for another chance. str_rumor_talki_heretics_22|he heard that the Windholm armorer is turning a pretty penny making armor for the Heretics on the sly. It is also rumored he gave that nagging wife of his to them for sacrifice, as she has not been seen for some weeks. str_rumor_talki_heretics_23|he overheard a terrified woman, pleading frantically with the city guards for help in finding her teenage daughter. Her daughter was friends with three boys who were rumored to belong to some sort of coven. All of them had disappeared without a trace. str_rumor_talki_heretics_24|he said that he overheard an armsman talking about a battle his troop fought with the Heretics. He said that some of them were as skilled as any Knight he had seen in a tournament. str_rumor_talki_heretics_25|he saw two men, in skull-emblazoned livery, sneak over the castle walls, dragging a bound man with a sack over his head. Before he could raise an alarm, the two Heretics had fled. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_1|he heard one of the Fierdsvain Lords say that the Vanskerries want the Lords to join them in overpowering Pendor. My opinion is that the Lords have grown too soft for that. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_2|he said a trader friend of ours, Gunnar of Valonbray, says his cousin, a Vanskerry Raider currently locked in the local dungeon, claims a powerful Vanskerry Jarl plans to bring a large army into Pendor. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_3|he said he was looking to buy some slaves from Ramun and heard from one Vanskerry galley slave that the Vanskerry Raiders think Pendor is ripe for the picking. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_4|he heard a merchant from Windholm say that after he finished his business in the market, he took a short cut through an alley, and observed a tall, blonde man, obviously a Vanskerry Jarl, threatening the Valonbray horse merchant with death, if he did not produce better details about Valonbray's defenses. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_5|he said that local rumor has it that a cousin to Inar Hairybreeks, son of his own old auntie, is amongst the latest Vanskerry Raiders captured. He is trying to persuade the Koningur to release him. He will not have much luck there! str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_6|he heard in the Windholm market that the Vanskerry raids are on the increase because the Pendor pickings are so profitable for the Raiders. They raided Jayek again yesterday. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_7|he said his informant overheard some Barclay merchants talking in Windholm. They say their profits are down considerably because the caravans coming to Windholm from Ravenstern get raided too often and they cannot get enough goods. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_8|he heard some farmers complaining over their ale in the Valonbray tavern. They say it simply is not worth farming these days, what with raids taking all their harvested crops before they can get them to market. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_9|he heard the lord say that, if rumor does not lie, all the Fierdsvain towns have been infiltrated by Vanskerry agents posing as Fierdsvain merchants! Unbelievable! str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_10|he said the foreign Jarls claim that all the Fierdsvain belongs in truth to Vanskerry, and should be under their rule, since it was conquered and settled by Vanskerry Raiders. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_11|he overheard some captured Vanskerry Raiders, en route to the slave pens, laughing about how they would have their revenge on the Fierdsvain shortly, though they did not go into detail about what is planned. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_12|he heard a man, who claimed to be an escaped Vanskerry captive, say there is a plan afoot to free all the Raider prisoners. That's all he overheard, and I don't know how much credence to give the story. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_13|he heard Thomas of Rane, a trader from Ravenstern, tell of a narrow escape. His caravan hired scouts, and their outriders ran into a good-sized pack of Vanskerries. The Raiders killed all the scouts while the caravan ran for it. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_14|he told me an acquaintance of his said he could scarce credit what he overheard some sailors say in the Valonbray tavern. These more frequent raids are supposedly intended to soften up the Fierdsvain in advance of full-scale Vankserry invasion! str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_15|he said Thomas of Rane, a merchant friend of his, says the Ravenstern merchants are speaking of hiring a mercenary troop to protect their caravans to the Fierdsvain towns. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_16|he said he heard from one of his friends, cousin to a Vanskerry, that their god, Haf Sigla, sends them winds blowing in the direction of Pendor to aid their longboats in sailing here. We need a god to send winds that blow in the opposite direction! str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_17|he heard an interesting explanation of the reason behind the Vanskerry raids. Apparently, if they do not raid, they have no means of support. They are unable to farm their own cold land, so they live off the food they steal. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_18|he said his grandfather came here as a Vanskerry Raider and married a Fierdsvain farm lass. Vanskerries love our rich farmland here because they have none of their own back home. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_19|he said he did not know if he should pass this on or not, but anyway talk amongst some of the Fierdsvain geezers is that the Vanskerries think that life in Pendor has destroyed their cousins' strength and turned them soft and luxury-loving. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_20|he told me a shocking story! A Caravan Master said that his group passed a pack of Vanskerry Raiders abusing some peasant women they'd kidnapped in a raid. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_21|he heard an amusing story about the Vanskerry Raiders from the bookseller. He said they raided a Sarleon caravan carrying ale and drank it up on the spot. One of their captives got loose, tied them up and castrated every drunken one of them! str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_22|he said one of the Vanskerry Jarls claimed to own a powerful, magic axe that could cut through the strongest armor. str_rumor_talki_vanskerry_23|he said that all the women taken by the Vanskerry Raiders, and many of the men, end up as thralls in the North. What a terrible fate! str_rumor_talki_red_1|he saw two men talking in an alleyway. He could not hear what they said, but one passed a packet, and they parted with a complicated series of hand gestures. As they left, one of them dropped a red leather glove. Watching them walk away, he was careful not to pick it up. str_rumor_talki_red_2|he spoke to a slaver last week. It appears that well-trained soldiers have become the slave of choice on the market, because that seems to be all they are interested in purchasing. That is odd, as high-end soldiers usually make poor galley slaves. One loose chain and they kill their owners! str_rumor_talki_red_3|he heard two badly disguised Brotherhood bullyboys talking in the tavern last night. Someone is disrupting their harvester gangs. He did not hear the whole discussion, but the name {playername} was bandied about quite a bit. str_rumor_talki_red_4|he told me that・oh, damn. It is you! Listen, {playername}, you need to・no, never mind how I know you. Just get out of town. The Brotherhood are crawling all over this place, and they are aiming for one target You. Someone is paying top dollar. Now go. You never saw me. str_rumor_talki_red_5|he found out that the Brotherhood are angling to get into the weapons trade. They already have the slave market tied up, mostly because it is distasteful. But weapons? That is a new direction for the boys in red, and if they know something we are unaware of・well, I would sleep light, were I you. str_rumor_talki_red_6|he heard from the guild master that the blacksmith got visited by the rouge stooges last night・seems he decided not to pay for his new 'apprentice'. Claimed the boy simply dropped in on him and wanted a job. Poor, dumb bastard. They broke his hammer-hand. str_rumor_talki_red_7|he saw it plain as day. Three bloodyboys beating up a shopkeeper on the steps of his own house! And the town guards・did they do aught to help? No, they walked right on past, as blind as men can be paid to be. Nobody even trusts the sheriff in this town any more. str_rumor_talki_red_8|he said to me I should never be late in paying the guards, and here I am thinking I must have hired security in my sleep, right? But no, he was talking about the Reds! I left Ethos to get away from those dogs・and here they set up shop in my own bloody courtyard. A man never wins with those gits. str_rumor_talki_red_9|he noticed a certain, well, preference, shall we say. With the slavers. They have all gone from nice docile galley-strokers to myrmidons. Suddenly soldiers are pulling top dollar. Listen, friend. Those Reds? They know all the folks who know. They are moving mercenaries, plain and simple. What does that tell ya? str_rumor_talki_red_10|he knows some folks on the inside at the Brotherhood. Worst infighting he has ever seen. They like to act all organized, but when was the last time you saw more that a couple of them together? That is purely because they cannot stand each other! Bloody taffers hate themselves as much as we do! str_rumor_talki_red_11|he overheard a Buyer in the tavern talking to a bounty hunter. Apparently someone is rather keen to buy a slave named {playername}. The price mentioned was pretty steep. On the other hand, I hear {reg63?he she} captains an adventuring company. Fat chance of the Reds tackling that, eh? str_rumor_talki_red_12|he said he told the butcher that the Brotherhood act all big here in the safety of the city, but out there? They are so much fodder, scrabbling for a few farmer captives. They just cannot cooperate enough to pose a threat. Next day, his house burns down. What did we learn? The butcher is a snitch. str_rumor_talki_red_13|he saw a bounty hunter with a line of slaves. Sorry looking sods they were, too. All stumbling and weak, unfed for days most likely. Perfect galley-fodder, they was. And the ruddy bugger turns them away. Said he had no room in the pens for low rent strokers. What, did the galleys all sink? str_rumor_talki_red_14|he heard from the guildsman that two of the Brotherhood houses are feuding. Three men have been found killed in・ creative fashion. And two more are missing. This is better than the arena! I would place bets, but the bookies are all Reds! str_rumor_talki_red_15|he said the boys in red had been over to the granary. Seems they decided the price there was too low, and needed doubling. Like they would know! They are just spooked because that caravan got whacked by the bloody snake handlers down south. str_rumor_talki_red_16|he has not had a good run in weeks. The Brotherhood keep driving the price up, and no one wants to pay. At this rate he will be running around to each little farm, buying it at the source. Sure, it's time consuming, but when was the last time the farmers cared a whistle for the Reds? str_rumor_talki_red_17|he heard the Reds had been pushing for the cobbler to sign on with them. I mean, yeah, the cobbler is a second cousin twice removed from the Seneschal, but is that enough to get offered a membership now? Oh well, that is his funeral. str_rumor_talki_red_18|he saw the captain of an adventuring company troop into the tavern with a whole gang of ruddy-buddies in tow・as prisoners! A harvester gang had tangled with the wrong company. Did his heart no end of good to watch the Brotherhood buy back its own. str_rumor_talki_red_19|he sat with me and he said wanted out. I asked him, out of what? He just said out. Poor sap. He looked so sad. He looked even sadder when the other Reds came to take him in hand, but what was I to do? If I had said anything it would have been my hide. Better him than me, that's what I say. str_rumor_talki_red_20|he walked in and simply said, 'They know.' 'Know what?' says I. 'Don't play coy,' he says, 'they know {playername} has been here. Next time, signal them or there will be trouble.' As if I know what {playername} looks like! The Reds can go rot, is what I say. {playername} indeed. Pffft. str_rumor_talki_red_21|he saw a priestess leap between a knight of Dawn and a member of the Red Brotherhood, shouting, 'Everything casts a shadow, even Pendor. We cannot cut it away. It is an inseparable, holy part of us. If the Red Brotherhood didn't satisfy our vices, then a thousand other gangs would rise to take their place. There would be war on the streets, war for our lust, our sloth, our wrath!' Yet before she could say more, the knight slew her. str_rumor_talki_red_22|he heard from a barkeep that the Red Brotherhood ran a brothel in Sarleon with Noldor women. It enticed him, so next time he visited Sarleon he wanted to pay them a visit, even if it cost him 1,000 denar. At first, he even thought it might be worth it, as the women there were exceedingly beautiful. Yet as he lay with one, he discovered that her pointed ears were sculpted with wax, and outraged, he stormed out of the brothel, the mistress laughing behind him. str_rumor_talki_red_23|he heard from a militiaman in Ravenstern that the Red Brotherhood had been organizing dog fights. Although King Gregory was trying to put a stop to it, the Brotherhood was always a step ahead of them. And late into the night, they'd hear the howls and snarls of dogs needlessly killing one another. str_rumor_talki_red_24|he heard from a wandering refugee that she had only just managed to escape a Red Brotherhood slave camp. They forced her and countless others to cultivate a new strain of sage that, when smoked, gave prophetic visions... and sometimes led to madness. Apparently, it's all the rage amongst a certain circle of nobles. str_rumor_talki_red_25|he heard from the barkeep in Janos that the Red Brotherhood and the Snake Cult were feuding endlessly over vice in the Empire. For generations, it had been under the control of the Red Brotherhood, and many local thugs and dealers are still loyal to their former masters. But the Snake Cult has control of the higher classes now, and slowly they're working their way down, weeding out the last bastions of Brotherhood influence. str_rumor_talki_red_26|he heard from a shadowy merchant in Torbah that one can buy anything from the Red Brotherhood, even objects they don't strictly own. When he asked for the Khan's chalice, the merchant simply laughed and said it would cost 40,000 denars. For the right price, anything could be bought and sold amongst the Brotherhood. str_rumor_talki_adven_1|he said that the local Lord has hired an Adventuring Company to search for treasure on his behalf. He supposedly has a treasure map. I wonder how much treasure he will actually see out of that deal? str_rumor_talki_adven_2|he said some of the Adventuring Companies really have it in for someone named {playername} and are looking for {reg63?him her} all over. The name is the same, I hope that is not you! str_rumor_talki_adven_3|he heard a Lord hired an Adventuring Company to escort his wife to Sarleon, and the bastards kidnapped her and demanded a hefty ransom from him. He is positively apoplectic over the affair. str_rumor_talki_adven_4|he said that rumor has it a Sarleon merchant tried to double-cross one of the Adventuring Companies and came to grief over it. They raided five of his caravans to get what they said was their payment due. He failed to overhear what the merchant had hired them to do. str_rumor_talki_adven_5|he heard that a farmer, Yanus of Pern, is beside himself. He had a fight with his wife, and she up and ran off. Damned if she did not join an Adventure Company. Mind you, she blacked his eyes and bashed his head with an iron skillet before she left, so she is a fighter, all right. str_rumor_talki_adven_6|he overheard one of the Adventuring Companies laughing it up in the Senderfall tavern. They were drinking toasts to some Lord, who had just paid them a hefty ransom for the safe return of his wife. str_rumor_talki_adven_7|he said the Jatu massacred an Adventuring Company they caught poking around ruins in the Jatu hills. I guess they were looking for treasure. Too bad they found the Jatu! str_rumor_talki_adven_8|he heard it was downright dangerous to search the Noldor ruins these days, because the Adventuring Companies are looking for artifacts and treasures there and do not welcome competition. str_rumor_talki_adven_9|he told me the Ethos innkeeper says she is really pleased that one of the Adventuring Companies is using her inn for a base while they search for something near there. Her wine sales have tripled and she has had to order more ale, as well. str_rumor_talki_adven_10|he was told a Cez Caravan Master claims that the Empire is currently crawling with Adventuring Companies. I wonder what they are all doing there? str_rumor_talki_adven_11|he said a Legionnaire told him that the Adventuring Companies are fighting with the Renegade Knights in the Empire. He said he hopes all of them exterminate one another and save the Legion some trouble. str_rumor_talki_adven_12|he heard from a squire who escaped the massacre, that he was the only survivor of an Adventuring Company which fell afoul of the Noldor in the Woods of Laria. They were looking for Noldor artifacts there. str_rumor_talki_adven_13|he heard from a man who claims he saw an Adventuring Company ambushed while they were looking for treasure in Rane. He did not mention who attacked them. str_rumor_talki_adven_14|he said the Adventuring Companies, especially that one run by Meregan Kierlic, the Griffonsword Company, actively recruit woman fighters. str_rumor_talki_adven_15|he said most of the Adventure Companies will honor their given words, so long as they get paid on time for their jobs. str_rumor_talki_adven_16|he heard from a guard captain in Avendor that he made the mistake of propositioning a woman in one of the Adventure Companies. She knocked him into the wall, kicked him where it hurt the most and put her dagger to his throat, all the while damning him for his effrontery in quite poetic terms. str_rumor_talki_adven_17|he said members of one of the Adventuring Companies were in the tavern, drinking away their disappointment. They failed to find the treasure marked on the map they bought. He said the Traveler who sold it to them is in real trouble. str_rumor_talki_adven_18|he heard that the Valonbray innkeeper has banned all Adventuring Companies from his tavern because one of them tore up the place last week. str_rumor_talki_adven_19|he said any one of the Adventuring Company captains would sell off his own old mother if thought he could get a few denars for her. str_rumor_talki_adven_20|he heard that there were recruiters in Barclay looking for young nobles to join some of the Pendor Adventure Companies. They promise their recruits riches beyond their wildest ken. str_rumor_talki_bandit_1|he said you should not blame some of the boys who turned to banditry. The Lords hang their fathers for poaching and send their sheriffs to confiscate their farms before the hanged man is done kicking. What else can the lads do, at that point? str_rumor_talki_bandit_2|he said one of the Red Brotherhood told him that he knew several lads who turned bandit because of what a Lord did to their sisters. They call it 'Jus Primae Noctis' or some such thing. str_rumor_talki_bandit_3|he said a caravan master told him that between the outlaws and those Rougie Stoogie bastards, it was worth his life to get a caravan from Sarleon to Avendor unmolested without an Adventuring Company escorting it. str_rumor_talki_bandit_4|he heard a bandit boast that the outlaws have started joining up with the Heretics, because those murdering bastards let them have a go at the girls before they sacrifice them. str_rumor_talki_bandit_5|he heard the merchants in Sarleon have petitioned the King to quit hanging the outlaws. They want him to have them drawn and quartered in the public square as examples. str_rumor_talki_bandit_6|he said the Outcasts are cast out for good reason. A lot of them get thrown out of their own villages for bad behavior and petty crimes. str_rumor_talki_bandit_7|he said the Red Brotherhood only recruits bandits when they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for more men. He should have said the 'top of the barrel', since they are all scum and scum floats to the surface, haha. str_rumor_talki_bandit_8|he said some of the outlaw groups are joining the Mystmountain Raider clans. Some clan chief has promised them land when the Raiders take over Ravenstern. Gullible fools, those bandits! str_rumor_talki_bandit_9|he heard from an Outlaw Chief that someone called {playername} had called the bandit 'verminous scum'. Heh, he had to ask what 'verminous' meant before he took offense. He did not seem to object to the 'scum' part. str_rumor_talki_bandit_10|he heard in the Javiksholm tavern that some of the bandit groups are talking about ganging up on {playername} because {reg63?he she} has killed so many of them and sold off the survivors to Ramun for the galleys. str_rumor_talki_bandit_11|he said he heard in the Laria market that the Jatu killed some forest bandits who tried to join them. Funny that the Jatu should show a little good taste! str_rumor_talki_bandit_12|he heard from a farmer outside Rane that when Saffrongate was raided, there were outcasts mixed in with the marauding Mystmountain Raiders. Trash recruits trash, as I always say. str_rumor_talki_bandit_13|he heard from one of those galley slaves Ramun peddles that {playername} refuses to ransom {reg63?his her} bandit captives after a battle. {reg63?He She} says they deserve be sold to the galleys, for the misery they cause the peasants. str_rumor_talki_bandit_14|he heard from a Pathani horse merchant that one of the D'Shar Khans has taken to impaling bandits outside the Singal walls. That should discourage them from preying on the villagers there! Makes me twitchy to think on it! str_rumor_talki_bandit_15|he said a lot of the Adventuring Companies are delighted that the bandits have gotten so bold. They are making a pile escorting caravans all over Pendor, and selling off the bandits they catch on top of that. str_rumor_talki_bandit_16|he says the price of velvet is up by 50%, because the traders have to pay so many guards to get their caravans here safely. They pass the cost right on to the customer, too. str_rumor_talki_bandit_17|he heard a right sad story from a young bandit the other day. Seems his father died, and his uncle managed to get hold of the farm. His mother had to sell herself into bonded labor just to eat. The lad turned bandit, of course. str_rumor_talki_bandit_18|he heard in the Fierdsvain that the Heretics sacrifice the bandit members of their bands when they fail to catch enough peasants to satisfy that bloodthirsty goddess of theirs. str_rumor_talki_bandit_19|he heard a really funny story about some bandits! Seems they tried to take on Meregan Kierlic and the Griffonsword Company by mistake. They only spotted the first few riders and attacked, then the rest of the company appeared and wiped them out. str_rumor_talki_bandit_20|he said the Vanskerry Raiders grab bandits to sell as thralls up North. Serves the gits right, though I doubt they make very good thralls. Probably steal their owners blind. str_rumor_talki_bandit_21|he heard from a Gosbur peasant that after that long winter last year, many farmers had been unable to plant at the proper time. Due to the Lord's greed and their high taxes, they weren't sure they'd get through the next winter. Some spoke of abandoning their land and running south to Sarleon. A few of the younger lads have turned bandit, of course. str_rumor_talki_bandit_22|he saw a woman in Buillin weeping over the body of a young man. Other peasants were standing around watching, and when he asked what had happened, they replied that after the woman lost her husband, their eldest son turned to banditry to support the family. He'd robbed several caravans, and when word got to Titus Legatus about his doings, justice was swift and merciless. str_rumor_talki_bandit_23|he overheard some bandits planning their next raid. They mentioned the names of several nearby villages, but then one suggested that instead of simply raiding, they ride into the village and turn it into their own personal kingdom. The rest cheered this idea along, overjoyed at the thought of becoming lords. In reality, they were all still just boys. str_rumor_talki_bandit_24|he said he found a wanted poster by the side of the road. At first he thought it was a picture of a missing child, since the boy looked to be no more than thirteen. On closer inspection, he realized the lord had offered a hefty reward for the head of that kid. Apparently, he was a common bandit and had already killed a dozen men. str_rumor_talki_bandit_25|he heard a bard sing the Ballad of Tonky Smith. Apparently, it was a favorite in the local tavern, as within minutes the crowd was jeering and singing along discordantly. The ballad told the story of Tonky, the son of a blacksmith that turned to banditry in pursuit of fame and fortune. He ravaged the countryside and swilled wine like water, only to be cut down by {playername}, who did not even know his name. str_rumor_talki_renegade_1|he heard from a passing caravan that one of the Rogue Knight warbands cut the throats of all the men in a Ravenstern village. And why? Because they didn't like the food they'd stolen from the peasants. str_rumor_talki_renegade_2|he heard in the Senderfall tavern that someone helped out a Ravenstern Lord in a fight with some Renegade Knights. Now the Knights are out to get that person, name of {playername}. Is that you, by chance? If so, beware! str_rumor_talki_renegade_3|he said that, according to a Squire who deserted from one of their companies, anyone who gets between the Renegade Knights and their victims is instantly classified as a sworn enemy. And they never forget an enemy. str_rumor_talki_renegade_4|he heard that most of the Rogue Knights are actually outlawed nobles from foreign lands. They come here to make their fortunes off our current unsettled state, like buzzards circling a dying dog. str_rumor_talki_renegade_5|he heard from the Valonbray armorer that a group of Renegade Knights tangled with one of the Adventure Companies, and came off badly in that battle. It might have been the Ironsword Company they fought. str_rumor_talki_renegade_6|he said he had heard that the Renegade Knights badly abuse the peasant women they capture, as well as the apprentice boys in the caravans they take. What perverts those sods must be! I guess they get hard up, since even the whores avoid them if possible. str_rumor_talki_renegade_7|he heard from a Caravan Master that a group of Renegade Knights mixed it up with some Heretics in the Fierdsvain, and killed off the lot. That is the only good thing I ever heard about Renegade Knights. str_rumor_talki_renegade_8|he said he heard in Sarleon that even the Lords avoid fighting with the Renegade Knights. Those are some mean bastards, but they are fierce warriors, all right. str_rumor_talki_renegade_9|he said a trader told him that a pack of Rogue Knights massacred some refugees near Marleons, just for the fun of it. They left the bodies piled up for any passers-by to trip over. str_rumor_talki_renegade_10|he heard from a friend in Avendor that there was a new group of Renegade Knights, led by the younger son of some Pendor Lord. His father outlawed him for trying to poison his older brother, the heir. The little sod deserved it, if that story is true. str_rumor_talki_renegade_11|he said he had heard in the Ravenstern market that King Gregory gives a big reward to anyone who brings him the head of a Renegade Knight. They surely are a plague in Ravenstern these days. str_rumor_talki_renegade_12|he heard an Empire Captain say that Marius told his Legionnaires to kill every band of Rogue Knights they ran across. He says they are nearly as evil as the Snake Cultists. str_rumor_talki_renegade_13|he said that one of the Renegade Knights claims to be a former member of the Order of the Dragon, and is out to avenge the unlawful disbanding of his Order. str_rumor_talki_renegade_14|he heard Ramun say that the peasant women he bought from some Renegade Knights were abused to the point of mindlessness and totally unfit for resale. str_rumor_talki_renegade_15|he said the Sarleon seneschal told him that King Ulric ran away from a group of Renegade Knights. The King was hunting with a small group of nobles and did not want to risk defeat or capture. str_rumor_talki_renegade_16|he heard in the tavern that a captured Renegade Knight got away from the Red Brotherhood and is looking for someone named {playername} to avenge his defeat. If that is you, be careful! str_rumor_talki_renegade_17|he said he heard from a Sarleon trader that the Noldor whipped a band of Renegade Knights near Laria, and killed off all the wounded on the spot. It serves those bastards right. Good for the Noldor, I say. str_rumor_talki_renegade_18|he heard from a Legionnaire that a band of Renegade Knights raided a village near Cez, and set the place on fire when they were done with the women. str_rumor_talki_renegade_19|he said the Poinsbruk abbot told him that the Rogue Knights are mostly from Pendor, not from foreign lands as they claim, but they pretend to be foreign to disguise their origins. Hard to believe any of them care about family honor, though. str_rumor_talki_renegade_20|he said that he heard in Janos that some of the Renegade Knight warbands would fight against the Empire on the side of the Snake Cult, if they happened upon a battle between the two. Afterwards, they turn on the winner, of course. str_rumor_talki_special_1|he said that he met a wandering minstrel who told him that the grave of the mad prophet Madigan is covered in flowers which never wither or die. str_rumor_talki_special_2|he met a wanderer who told him tales of a mysterious, well-hidden mine guarded by crazy old men. One is said to be a master smith who forges wondrous weapons, and the other seems to have a penchant for wine. str_rumor_talki_special_3|he heard that there are trainers who will help sharpen the skills of warriors not yet worth their salt. str_rumor_talki_special_4|he met a merchant who said that he would pay 3000 denars for the Tear of a Dragon. He had no idea what the man was talking about, as there are no living dragons in Pendor. Besides, everyone knows that Dragons cannot cry. str_rumor_talki_special_5|he had a conversation with several mercenaries in the tavern. They all agreed that if the wars keep getting worse, food will become scarce. There are too many farmers in the army and not enough in the fields. str_rumor_talki_special_6|he said he had visited a weapons merchant the other day and was stunned to see a Masterwork Noldor Runesword for sale. The merchant wanted more denars for it than his whole town makes in a year! str_rumor_talki_special_7|he said that he had noticed a lot more foreigners in Pendor in the last six months. They seem to be arriving en masse and disembarking at Valonbray. str_rumor_talki_special_8|he said that he was approached by a mercenary in a tavern the other day. The man offered to sell him a treasure map. str_rumor_talki_special_9|who whispered to me over a tankard of ale about the true origins of the Snake Cult in Pendor! He claimed a women named Laorea founded the Cult due to disappointment in her second husband, as she still mourned the first. str_rumor_talki_special_10|when we camped that night, he sang the sad tale of Hadarac Tanis, the Fire of the Steppes, how he fought and perished in D'Shar lands. str_rumor_talki_special_11|he was talking about the Order of the Griffon and how Calathar the First refounded it. str_rumor_talki_special_12|and when we took out our pipes and lit up for a smoke, the story he told was the grim tale of Arbogast of Walven. I did not sleep well that night. str_rumor_talki_special_13|he said his grandsire fought in the Great Battle of Rane in 327 with the father of Hendrik the Cruel, and saved the Heir of Rane from those heathen savages. Though Hendrik became famous, his sire was was a drunken sot who was ultimately hanged. str_rumor_talki_special_14|he boasted in the Old Oak Tavern that the merest mention of the name of Durak to any of the Red Brotherhood scum sends them running, crying for their mothers. str_rumor_talki_special_15|he told me he heard a bard singing the tale of Echilon, a brave old warrior, who died of his wounds after winning his last battle in the snows of Ravenstern. str_rumor_talki_special_16|and he said that some simpleton, name of Noosers, said he had seen the Fish Knight! No one has seen him for ages! str_rumor_talki_special_17|he said that after having too much ale, he told the story how of Marius I was captured by Hendrik the Cruel. That is a story best not told in earshot of the Empire. str_rumor_talki_special_18|he sang his latest song for me ・the Ballad of Chase. That story of murder will never go down well in any court, but I liked it the better for that. str_rumor_talki_special_19|he said he had seen a horse like Darkstar. Unfortunately, he did not have the coin to purchase it. I was unsurprised, given his weakness for high-stakes gambling. str_rumor_talki_special_20|he said he had heard the tale of Corey the Slave, who used foul sorcery to find water. Sorcerers and magicians should be burned at the stake, for the good of us all! str_rumor_talki_special_21|he told of a night not long ago, when The Fish Knight shared their fire. They did not recognize him until after he left, the dafties. str_rumor_talki_special_22|he spoke of the strange habits of the Windtooth tribe in D'Shar lands ・I prefer not to repeat them in mixed company. str_rumor_talki_special_23|he said he heard the Vanskerry Raiders worshipped an enigmatic deity. Those heathen savages hail something called a Saxon Dragon. Everyone knows there are no dragons alive today. str_rumor_talki_special_24|he said he heard those gossiping monks over at the temple discussing the writings of some old bat of an elder, called Fawzia, who is a scribe and former rug merchant. str_rumor_talki_special_25|he said he had gawped in awe at the latest work of Alan the Armorer, but could never hope to afford it! str_rumor_talki_special_26|he related a touching tale of Lord Filadh, who found a baby girl in the ruins of one of his looted villages. His medic healed her, and Lord Filadh raised her as his daughter. He kept her in seclusion to hide her terrible scars. str_rumor_talki_special_27|he said a Vanskerry Raider walked into the Valonbray tavern, and the barkeep tells him he looks just terrible. The Vankskerry says, 'What do you mean? I feel fine.' 'Well, what about that new wooden leg?' 'A Fierdsvain Huscarl got me with an axe.' 'And the hook where your hand used to be?' 'I was in a sword fight and lost my hand, so I was fitted with this hook.' 'What about the eye patch?' 'A flock of gulls flew over our longship. I made the mistake of looking up, and one of the gulls shat in my eye.' 'You lost your eye from seagull shit?' 'Well, I'd only had the hook for two days... ' str_rumor_talki_special_28|he said a Sarleon Lord was leaving for a siege and told his seneschal, 'Here is the key to my wife's chastity belt. If I do not return within a month, you may use this key to free her of it.' The lord set out on the dusty road, armored from head to toe. He took one last look at his castle and saw his seneschal rushing after him, yelling, 'Stop! Stop! Thank goodness I was able to catch you. This is the wrong key.' str_rumor_talki_special_29|he said a bard told him that an Empire Legion returned to Janos with prisoners and lots of loot from their victories. 'Tell me of your battles,' said Marius Imperator. 'Well, Sire, we have been winning on your behalf for weeks, burning and pillaging the villages of your enemies in the west.' Old Marius was horrified. 'But I have no enemies in the west at present!' he said. 'Well,' said the Legionnaires, 'you have now.' str_rumor_talki_special_team_1|he heard there was a D'Shar named Haji Vader, who went mad from something called 'coding' - do you know what that is? Sounds like some D'Shar perversion to me, since it has 'cod' in it. str_rumor_talki_special_team_2|he said a poor young Sarleon squire plunged into an abyss to escape being buggered by the lord's hangman. Something about that story really bugged me. str_rumor_talki_special_team_3|he was told about a young fellow named Endymion, a handsome shepherd caught mooning his sheep. Must have been from Ravenstern - you know their reputation with sheep there. str_rumor_talki_special_team_4|he said a man named Camus told him about his essay called 'Le Mythe de Sysyphe' that was written in some kind of froggy gibberish. How absurd! str_rumor_talki_special_team_5|he heard there was a new bandit on the loose named Talon, an older feller with an aquiline nose. Keep an eye out for him, he's rumored to be a dangerous caffeine addict. str_rumor_talki_special_team_6|he said if your jakes are overflowing, you should call in a specialist in bog work named Gerhart. He's famous all over Pendor for being a real professional at that kind of job. str_rumor_talki_special_team_7|he said the garrison had a new bowman with a really strange name, Chicky-sicky, or something like that. He's supposed to be pretty good with his bow, in spite of that odd name. str_rumor_talki_special_team_8|he said there was a priest of Astraea, Father James, who regularly lands himself in trouble through preaching things nobody understands. Priests are full of odd sayings, and their words are as twisty as a python. str_rumor_talki_special_team_9|he said that fellow Mordred spent all his time thinking, and that he'd drown you in details if you let him. He says nothing is ever uncomplicated to that young man, though he's asked him time and again to try and keep things simple. str_rumor_talki_special_team_10|he said he'd caught an ermine in his rabbit trap and the critter started speaking in different tongues. He must have been drunk as a lord to think that could have happened! str_rumor_talki_special_team_11|he told me about a quiet armorer who is an utter perfectionist. His armor could have been made by the angels themselves! Unfortunately, he is relocating to a far-away land populated by felons and Pendor will soon be deprived of his skills. str_rumor_talki_myst_1|he told me that another village militia had been lost to raiders. That makes two this week! Something has to be done・we have not had Mystmountain incursions this bad since the Siege of Rane. str_rumor_talki_myst_2|he said a caravan out of Poinsbruk had been hit by Mystmountain raiders and Jatu horsemen at the same time! He said he would not term it an alliance, though・Seems that once the caravan guards were taken out, they fought each other over the spoils! str_rumor_talki_myst_3|he asked if I had heard anything from Ismirala lately. Apparently there are rumors of vast hordes of Mystmountain raiders forming in the east. They will probably sweep in from the ranges, like they did in 199, slaughtering, raping and burning everything from here to Falcondark. So, another drink, {playername}? str_rumor_talki_myst_4|he told me he happened to be present when the last batch of Mystmountain prisoners was brought in by the militia. They were bloody, beaten, foul-smelling brutes to be sure, but do you know what he said? They were smiling. Shackled in chains, headed for the dungeons・and smiling. str_rumor_talki_myst_5|he noticed some old Mystmountain knickknacks I once collected. So, I had to tell him all about my days as a manhunter ・yup ・those were the days. Hunting men, you know, because that is what we real manhunters did, you know, all the time. What? No, you may not see them. They are, um・being cleaned. str_rumor_talki_myst_6|he seemed nervous, always looking over his shoulder. He asked if I had seen anyone named {playername}. I never heard of anyone by that name, so I told him no. He seemed right pleased to hear that and said he would be hiding behind a house in some village or other, if I wanted him.' Oddest thing. str_rumor_talki_myst_7|he heard the Sheriff talking to some manhunters, and they were not happy. They said the raiders have been seen massing north of Taloncrag, and the garrison there has been clamoring for reinforcements. When the blow falls, it will land there, mark my words. str_rumor_talki_myst_8|he met a bent, old Mystmountain man on his last trip. They were heading in the same direction, so they walked together in silence. The old fellow looked up as they passed Silveredge Keep and said, 'Vejovis knows'. Only thing he said the whole way. str_rumor_talki_myst_9|he ran into a mountainman who looked shaken. he said he had seen that cat, Vejovis, on the mountain. He figured the mountainman was drunk again, but there was no smell of wine on him. He told the man those Vejovis tales were naught but legend and besides, only shamans supposedly see Vejovis. And then the old mountainman turned his face. Clawed from brow to jawline, he was. str_rumor_talki_myst_10|he told me the raids are picking up. Bigger and bigger hordes of Mystmountains are pouring out of the crags. Somewhere, someone is organizing the clans. There is no other explanation, unless you believe in that Vejovis nonsense. str_rumor_talki_myst_11|he said he wanted to・ Hey, are you {playername}? Listen, whatever Aaron told you is not true. I had nothing to do with it. Pretending to be Vejovis outside that cottage was all his idea, and his doing. Funny as hell, though・ str_rumor_talki_myst_12|he wanted to know if I had heard anyone asking about herds of horses. I had not, of course, but I was curious as to why he asked. So then he tells me that raiders have taken the entire stock from three horse farms in the last week alone・and there is only one reason for that. They're coming, and soon. str_rumor_talki_myst_13|he mentioned seeing a young Mystmountain lad in the tavern last night. Seemed bright and cheerful, really. There was no trouble at first. But then old Brice got drunk and started bragging about killing raiders. And you know what? The kid just smiled. 'Vejovis knows' was all he said. str_rumor_talki_myst_14|he said he had seen the god manifest. Taloncrag, Silveredge, Alden・all the border forts are stockpiling food, weapons, and fresh-faced youngsters. I never asked him how he had come to see it. Doubt he would tell me anyway, but he never steered me wrong before. The lords know. The cat is awake. str_rumor_talki_myst_15|he told me a caravan master had brought him some troubling news. Jatu horsemen and Mystmountain raiders have been joining forces in the east. I dunno if they have an actual alliance, or if was just convenient, but travel to Poinsbruk has gotten rather chancy. str_rumor_talki_myst_16|he said he was taking in some air last night, when he saw a group of people moving swiftly and silently past him in the darkness. They seemed to be heading in the general direction of town. The only sound he heard was the distant yowling of a mountain cat. str_rumor_talki_myst_17|he heard a group of caravan guards arguing with the master. They wanted more money and they demanded he hire more guards. You watch, prices are going to go up on everything. Bloody Mystmountains refuse to leave well enough alone. Who will chase them back into their caves this time? That's what I'd like to know. str_rumor_talki_myst_18|he told me that another caravan has been lost to raiders. That is not all that unlikely in this day and age, but this caravan? It was south of Balanli. That is further than they have ever struck before. At this rate they will end up bringing in those leaf-eating Noldor! And here's us, nicely caught smack in the middle. str_rumor_talki_myst_19|he told me to be on the lookout for you, {playername}. Apparently, you are a popular topic of Mystmountain conversations. And, it is not because of your winning personality, if ya take my meaning. str_rumor_talki_myst_20|he said he had just returned from a successful campaign against the Mystmountain Raiders that have been plaguing Dugan. Did you know the Mystmountains never eat meat? Their whole diet consists of horsemilk cheese and coarse bread. Figure they leave the meat for Vejovis, or something. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_1|he said some Barclay traders he met when they first landed in Javiksholm left there with the intention of buying Noldor artifacts, but were waylaid by the Jatu and killed. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_2|he heard a trader say that the Noldor resent the fact that they have to sell their goods to humans. They think their crafts are too good for our kind, I guess. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_3|he said he overheard Ramun say that when he gets hold of a Noldor woman, she never goes up for public sale. He puts Noldor gals into his 'private stock,' reserved for his best class of customer, and gets bushels of denars for them. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_4|he heard in Janos that one of the Empire Lords rescued some Noldor Rangers from a band of Snake Cultists, and has enlisted them into his warband. What a lucky dog he is! With them on his walls, his castle is safe as houses from besiegers. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_5|he heard from a captured thief that a Sarleon Lord bought a Noldor Maiden Ranger from the Red Brotherhood and keeps her locked up in his castle tower. I wonder what his lady wife thinks of that. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_6|he heard from a courtier that Emperor Marius tried to hire some Noble Noldor Knights the Legion saved from the Snake Cult and they spat on his offer, laughed in his face and went back to their woods. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_7|he heard in Ethos that a musician there is willing to pay a fortune for a Noldor flute, but cannot find one to purchase. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_8|he heard a troubadour playing a Noldor lute, and said it had the loveliest tone he had ever heard drawn from a string. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_9|he said he had heard in Laria that the Noldor took out another lot of Jatu. I guess the Noldor are useful once in a while, in spite of themselves. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_10|he heard in the Empire that the Legionnaires hate fighting the Noldor, because the casualties are so high, even if they outnumber the Noldor three to one. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_11|he heard the Noldor are venturing further into the Empire, chasing groups of Snakes. I pray they get them all, but that is too much to hope for! str_rumor_talki_noldor1_12|he heard that the Noldor enlist peasants freed from the bandits and Jatu they kill, and even sneak into the Empire to recruit, when the Lords are not looking. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_13|he heard a rumor that the Noldor are backing some new Warlord, who hates Jatu even more than he detests the rest of us humans. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_14|he said a Sarleon Halberdier told him he would rather face fifty Jatu than ten Noldor Rangers. He says they never miss their targets and can shoot from a greater distance than a Sarleon Longbowman. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_15|he heard some collector in Rane was paying serious money for any Noldor artifacts he could get his hands on. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_16|he said the traders are unable to procure enough Noldor goods these days. The Noldor are keeping more to themselves and even refusing to trade with their usual buyers. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_17|he heard of an auction sale in Laria that is invitation only, restricted to Lords. They have to put up a deposit of 1000 denars just to get in the door. The Red Brotherhood is selling some Noldor Maiden Rangers to the highest bidders. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_18|he said the Red Brotherhood bought a Noldor Ranger from some deserters, but the Ranger got his hands on a sword, killed six of the Redboys and escaped. They are still mourning their lost profit on him, no doubt. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_19|he heard a mercenary from the Fierdsvain declare in the Laria tavern that he would prefer to take on ten Valkyries in a fight, as opposed to a pair of Noldor Maiden Rangers. He said he might survive a fight with the Valkyries. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_20|he heard in Poinsbruk that the Noldor fought a great battle with the Jatu, and that both sides were hurt badly, but the Noldor won in the end. str_rumor_talki_noldor1_21|he said it is rumored that there is a secret passage into the hidden Noldor city, but nobody has ever found it. str_rumor_talki_trav_1|he said the life of a traveler is never dull. His work as a miller grew confining and he never got out of his village. One day, he sold his mill and took to the road. str_rumor_talki_trav_2|he said there are certain stones which are, in fact, the tears of a dragon. He set out to try to acquire one for himself. You don't happen to have one, do you? Ah never mind, the gems are doubtless just some hopeless fantasy. str_rumor_talki_trav_3|he said the Noldor are a most interesting people, but very secretive. He wants to locate a group of them and write a book about their culture. str_rumor_talki_trav_4|he said that I would be better off traveling and talking to people in order to get information for my book, 'The Mysterious Musings of a Marvelous Mystic'. It is a collection of the wisdom of one known as Madigan. str_rumor_talki_trav_5|he said that the Snake Priestesses were young girls taken from villages by the Snake Cult. My own daughter was stolen in such a raid and I roam Pendor seeking her. str_rumor_talki_trav_6|he said I should join the army. I'd rather be sailing, but I get really sea-sick. Even thinking about the rolling, rocking sea is making me... Bluuuugh! str_rumor_talki_trav_7|he said that knowledge is power. I have read more books than most people know exist. Now I am a student of life of the road, learning from the common folk and their tales. str_rumor_talki_trav_8|he said he asked him, 'What is your quest?' The man replied that he wished to find the average flight velocity of an unladen swallow. str_rumor_talki_trav_9|he talked of the final words of his father. My own expressed his disappointment at not having seen the world beyond his farm. He made me promise to journey the length and breadth of Pendor and recount to him my adventures when I join him in the afterlife. str_rumor_talki_trav_10|he said... acorn, almond, beech, cashew... he knew a Knight of the Radiant Cross with the biggest list of nuts in Pendor. Chestnut, coconut, hazelnut, hickory, macadamia... So I bet that... Ogbono, paradisenut, peanut... mine was the larger list. My colleagues however think I have gone a little nuts. str_rumor_talki_trav_11|he said he followed the mantra of Veni, Vici, Vidi. I myself follow the mantra of Veni, Vici, Peregrinus. I came, I saw, I wandered. str_rumor_talki_trav_12|he said one must wander the world to appreciate its varied marvels. I travel not for its beauty but rather to observe how it change us. str_rumor_talki_trav_13|he said a piece of the sky fell near here. I came to discover if it was the folly of man or the will of the gods which caused it. str_rumor_talki_trav_14|he said that the goddess Erida Occisor had awakened! The end of the world is nigh! We are all doomed! Doomed, I tell you! str_rumor_talki_trav_15|he said he sometimes felt the invisible tug of a hand guiding his actions. Personally, I feel an omnipresent authority figure moving me like a pawn in the game of life. str_rumor_talki_trav_16|he said a wise man once told him to talk to everyone he met. Much valuable information can be gleaned from idle tavern conversations and gossip in the markets. str_rumor_talki_trav_17|he said a captain he knew had actually purchased a Knight in a tavern. He was being held for ransom by the Red Brotherhood, and his cost was remarkably cheap. str_rumor_talki_trav_18|he said the man was marvelously strong and vigorous, due to an elixir he'd purchased from some wandering fellow. Cost him a Qualis Gem, but was worth it. str_rumor_talki_trav_19|he said the village militias often know more than they let on about enemies in their area. If they like you, they will tip you off as to where they are. str_rumor_talki_trav_20|he heard that when an Empire lord vanquished somebody called Maltise, he got something called a 'qualis gem' in ransom. I wonder what it is and what he can do with it. str_rumor_talki_trav_21|he heard there was a mine somewhere run by a couple of strange old fellows. One is a weaponsmith and the other is a crazy old drunk. He won't even talk to you unless you give him wine. str_rumor_talki_trav_22|he said he'd refused to pay 10 denars for rumors from a traveler, and lived to regret it. His caravan was overrun by a Mystmountain army the very next day. Now, he pays 10 denars gladly to hear the news. str_rumor_talki_trav_23|he talked about the hidden chests in a couple of towns and said he'd bought a map to find one of them. It wasn't there but now, the fool is looking for the man who has the map to the other one. He thinks he might get some kind of gem out of it. str_rumor_talki_trav_24|he said that gambling with guild masters was risky if you lost, but very profitable if you won. str_rumor_talki_trav_25|he said that the training fields were an underused benefit to all warriors. Everybody, regardless of experience, needs to keep his hand in! str_rumor_talki_trav_26|he told him that no man worth his salt would disdain conversation with the arms instructors in the training fields. Their conversation is frequently spicy, too! str_rumor_talki_trav_27|he said he'd heard the old gods of Pendor sometimes speak when they have a message to deliver, but I never met anybody they had spoken to. Claptrap, I say. str_rumor_talki_trav_28|he said a sea captain told him about some island called Veccavi, where the women run everything and the men are slaves. Did you ever hear of such a thing? str_rumor_talki_trav_29|he heard in the Empire whispers of an escaped Snake Priestess now at large in Pendor. There was some sort of power dust-up in whatever their hierarchy was, and she was on the losing side. str_rumor_talki_trav_30|he was told that rumors have more weight than most people think. Sometimes, it seems as if the rumor presages the event. Odd thing, that. str_player_ask_drag_1|I was very curious to learn something about your order, if you don't mind? str_player_ask_lion_1|I'm sure the great and famous Knights of the Lion have a history? str_player_ask_immo_1|I would like to know the origins of your legendary order. str_player_ask_wind_1|Swift rider of the desert, what can you tell me of your famous order? str_player_ask_valk_1|Surely the Valkyrie Sisterhood has some history to share with me? str_player_ask_grif_1|Grand knight of the old kingdom, care to tell me about your order? str_player_ask_falc_1|They say that your order was banned by King Gregory. str_player_ask_rave_1|I thought that the Order of the Raven Spear was composed of scholars? str_player_ask_radi_1|If you wouldn't mind, may you tell me some history of your order? str_player_ask_clar_1|Why does your order choose to use horse archers? str_player_ask_dawn_1|People say that your order is dedicated to the elimination of evil ...? str_player_ask_ebon_1|Who exactly are the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlet? str_player_ask_shad_1|Why do you use cavalry for some Empire troops, but not for the higher ranks? str_player_ask_silv_1|Word has it that your order admires the Noldor - can you tell me more? str_player_ask_even_1|I understand that your Order split from the Order of Dawn. What caused the rift? str_player_ask_phoe_1|You don't look like most knights around here good sir, where do you hail from? str_player_ask_wolf_1|Dear dark knight, what can you tell me about your order? str_player_ask_scor_1|Fearsome warrior of the D'Shar, could you tell me about your order? str_player_ask_krak_1|Do the intimidating Kraken Cultists have a history? str_drag_response_1|I can indulge ya, if you're willing to part ways with some of that delicious ale in your baggage train! - Sips donated drink - Now let's see ... Ah yes I remember, It was the 199th year of Pendor, or was it 200 ... Anyway, glorious Earl Klovis, liege of Rane, was the order's founding Grandmaster. While I can't exactly remember -why- the order was founded, I believe the scribes from Poinsbruk stated that it had something to do with the Siege of Rane when the royal family died off not a few short years before. str_lion_response_1|Hmph, I suppose I can indulge you. Better than lending my ears to the tales of the dirty peasantry. I belong to one of the oldest orders in Pendor, if not the oldest itself. The order was founded no less than 90 years, 82 to be exact, after the founding of the first Kingdom of Pendor. The gallant knight, Sir Roderick the Red, Lions Mane himself, was our founder. You may look him up at your own leisure. str_immo_response_1|You're the first one to have gall to approach me and ask, so I'll indulge. The Immortals started off as more of a ... secret service ...in direct contact of the current Overlord, Imperator Marius I. This is according to our founding charter created by Marius who signed the Validus Charta. The order itself is v ery young and we don't have much history. But I can tell you we are the toughest bastards the Empire has to offer. str_wind_response_1|Hello traveler. It seems the blowing winds have made us cross paths, no? -Chuckles- I am indeed a Windrider. Representative of the strongest the D'Shar nobility have to offer. Our horses have been bred to maintain composure when fighting on the wind-shaped dunes in the desert and to transverse great distances. Believe it or not we were once a sect of assassins born from a similar cloth like the brotherhood of Scorpion Assassins. So happens through many generations that we developed our own identity to combat our enemies on the field. str_valk_response_1|Hello. As you may have guessed, I am indeed part of the Valkyrie Sisterhood. Our lineage is traced through Fierdsvain nobility and Vanskerry blood. Our order originated from women who traveled with Vanskerry raid parties to Pendor. We were shield-maidens on the field and property in the camps ... str_grif_response_1|Greetings. I am glad you noticed my orders ancient sigil, The Griffon. With the revival of our order, we have set out to hear the voices of the people; to bring peace and order to the land which we all share. str_falc_response_1|True, my friend, but we have a past in which we take pride. Our original company, which founded the order, was formed by the Validus Charta. It was not disbanded until King Gregory betrayed us and his sister. We are also the only order to allow both men and women to fight in ranks. str_rave_response_1|We are, but due to incursions from the Mystmountain armies on our university strongholds, we were forced to take up arms to defend wisdom and civilization. str_radi_response_1|Of course, I would be delighted to shed some light on our orders history! The creation of our order in 113, by Baron Jorn of Dunglave, now known as Janos, is an interesting tale. Back then we were known as Medicine-Men. The state of medicinal knowledge and practice in Pendor was abysmal in the beginning years of our founding. Subsections of our signed Validus Charta charter allowed our members to proliferate the cities, fiefs, towns, with knowledge of medical advancements from Amala. From various herbal concoctions to simple remedies for the average ache of the head. The order was the bedrock foundation for the curb of pestilence and disease. str_clar_response_1|We are a highly mobile force which patrols and secures our borders. We need to move fast to locate and harass our enemies. This is the way the nobility of Laria has learned to fight. While the Lions of Sarleon have their rolling plains, the Knights of the East must adapt to the forest and the steppes. Many of the Larian nobility fight this way; have you seen the Larian Sentinels? Some of them are young nobles from Laria who wish to fight like us, instead of those pompous Lions. We may fight like the D'Shar, which is the best for most situations, but that does not mean we forego the traditional ways of knightly battle. We still bear spear and sword with pride and skill. str_dawn_response_1|Our sworn mission is to root out evil; our swords and lances are the instruments of Astraea. When we strike down a sinner, we are doing the sanctified work of the Goddess. She has blessed us, even in this godforsaken place. Soldiers of the Fierdsvain, foot-knights and commoners have converted and flocked to our holding in Valonbray. They now serve us under the banner of the now defunct order of the Wyvern. The Wyverns protected their land long ago, and now our new Wyverns fight to protect Pendor from evil. They may be barbarians, but they fight well enough. str_ebon_response_1|We exist to serve the greater good of the whole of humanity, though I suppose that sounds a bit pompous. We consider ourselves above petty matters and politics, the squabbles of kings and queens. str_shad_response_1|Our Ironbred stallions date to the old days of the Empire. They are strong, very fast and aid us in swiftly crushing our enemies. We value them highly, but they are difficult to breed and train, so our supply of them is limited. str_silv_response_1|Yes, our order holds them in great admiration. There is enough space in Pendor for us all to live in peace with one another. We can learn much from them, but also they are a force to be reckoned with, I can tell you! str_even_response_1|The Order of Dawn is riddled with fanatics whose twisted beliefs and violence against the populace are despicable. We split from them because they are rotten to the core. str_phoe_response_1|I come from across the sea, the great continent of Amala. My order is known as The Order of the Phoenix. str_wolf_response_1|... str_scor_response_1|I can indeed bring you up to speed of whom we are. Like the soft eroding sands of the Shavanir Desert, we slowly infiltrate our way into the world. We are men bound by creed and secrecy, loyal to those who would support our brotherhood. We are whom you come to if you have a problem that is lawfully out of your hands. Our only incentive is the gleaming shine of coin. For there is no greater employer than man's folly for wealth, which breeds conflict, and for us, work. str_krak_response_1|I will let you know -some- things. Many of us are several generations of combat-trained hunters and fishermen. We take our prey from the sea to provide for our people and to make a livelyhood from the demand of our bounty. We also contract out our members as hired work for our Lords. We get our hands dirty so to speak. There is always an off-season for the hunt so we do what we do naturally, kill. str_player_ask_drag_2|Huh, sounds like the history is a bit lost in mystery. Are you sure you can't remember more? str_player_ask_lion_2|So what is some more history of your old order? str_player_ask_immo_2|Interesting! I didn't know the order was so young. What kind of services did Marius ask of? str_player_ask_wind_2|You were all assassins at one time? How did that work with The Scorpion Assassins? str_player_ask_valk_2|You come from a solely male-dominated society, how did your order overcome that social barrier? str_player_ask_grif_2|What can you tell me about your newly created order? What do you hope to achieve? str_player_ask_falc_2|Could you elaborate on how you allow both genders? str_player_ask_rave_2|A pack of ancient scholars don platemail and equip swords to stand against barbarians? str_player_ask_radi_2|That's truly amazing! Pray tell you have more to share? str_player_ask_clar_2|Why is your order called the Knights of the Clarion Call? str_player_ask_dawn_2|How do you determine who is guilty and who is innocent? str_player_ask_ebon_2|I see. What of the Noldor then? str_player_ask_shad_2|Please excuse my question, but why is your Order at odds with the Radiant Cross? str_player_ask_silv_2|They say that few bowmen can shoot a arrow as far as a Silvermist - what's your secret? str_player_ask_even_2|So what caused Barclay to ban them? What did they do? str_player_ask_phoe_2|I can't imagine a world bigger than Pendor. What more can you tell me about your order? str_player_ask_wolf_2|Um, sir? str_player_ask_scor_2|That is certainly good to know ... how does your order operate? str_player_ask_krak_2|That's quite the background. If that is the case, why is your order associated as a cult? str_drag_response_2|- Drinks from mug - AH! Yes I remember a bit more now! The Siege of Rane caused the lords of the old kingdom to secede and form the Kingdom of Ravenstern, after the capital. The lords of the north came together and signed the infamous Validus Charta, which is rumored to have consented for the birth of our Order as an official noble-influenced chapter. str_lion_response_2|We are renowned for our continuous use of chivalry in battle and etiquette in presenting ourselves as proper nobles in court. Around 200 years after the old kingdom was reigning, the royal family was struck down by a malady, which led to immediate chaos. Our sister order, the Knights of the Griffon, were royal guards of the kingdom and became responsible for maintaining peace. The Lions of course were ordered to as well. This immediate power vacuum started pitting lords against one another, which led to even more conflict. str_immo_response_2|Anything and everything that involves the Snake Cult. They have masterfully infiltrated the nobility and heart of our Empire and many Empire Lords requested Marius for reform and action. The Immortalem Iuris charter subsection stated that select men are, without question, to pursue and hunt down secret sects and cult meetings. Further more to eradicate any and all traces of cult activites and persons. It turned bloody every time. str_wind_response_2|When it came to fruition that the Scorpion Assassins have been acting as a household guard for a tribal chief after the death of the old Royal Family, our order was conceived by invoking a land-wide charter at the time. Caliph Itsaf Xer was afraid that he was to be killed by the aspiring and future Khan. Our order were the counter-measure to the numerous assassination attempts that came from the Scorpions. They thwarted many attempts against the Caliph and his family until finally, retaliation was warranted. The Windriders made their way into the rising Khan's camp, guarded by his Scorpion Assassins. They successfully infiltrated the area. The Scorpions let their guard down and didn't notice. So the Windriders thought. str_valk_response_2|Jarl Gardor Oldboar was a fearsome Vanskerry leader. He brought many of our order ancestors with him on an expedition to the heartland of Pendor. Raid after raid and countless times of being abused and taken as toys to these men in battle and bed, the sisters formed a blood pack amongst themselves. Those shield-maidens swore and oath to never be seen as objects and be used to the great benefit of others. That night they played their roles for the tired Jarls and when the time came, they killed the entire Oldboar Leadership. They raised the alarm and most of them fled together into the hills. str_grif_response_2|We plan on supporting the leaders of our new Kingdom. With their leadership, The Knights of the Griffon will help pave a new era into prosperity and peace. After the Red Plague and the decimation of the Royal Family we ended up falling into disarray. Our order was fractured by the various battles for power and the successful bid of the Lions and the Duke they supported. We lost all credibility and support. Most of the order went into hiding, mercenary work, trades or just vanished. Our records, except for the documents taken by some of the knights, are all but extinguished from this world. But our original charter has made it clear that our purpose is to solely keep a unified Pendor protected and to make sure chaos does not find it's way into the roots of our land. Descendants of our old order have been showing up almost everyday, ready to put our steel to the test and to follow through where our predecessors failed. str_falc_response_2|In the past, one of the five original founding members was Valera, a woman of great skill and bravery. The charter allowed our order to be women-only, but Ursula amended that and allowed men to join the ranks. My guess is mainly because there is only so many woman warriors in Pendor. Many join the Valkyries but we will never turn down those who wish to join. Valera never really was questioned on why this was part of our founding charter but I wouldn't trade my fellow knights for the world. str_rave_response_2|No, not at all. The students and scholars continue our most important work, that of academia. They have always employed groups of adventurers like us to aid their research and discover lost lore. We also fight for them as required. str_radi_response_2|The increase in overall health throughout the land was incredibly better than at the start of our cause. Then The Red Plague came in 198. Tales say the order had never seen anything so deadly. It was an unstoppable plague that wiped out the Royal family in its entirety and many knighthoods succumbed and collapsed due to so many deaths. We still don't know where this disease came from or why it suddenly appeared. Some records indicate that it bore a resemblance to The Poxaspa Plague used by the Snake Cult over in Amala. Although it is hard to say since many supporting records were destroyed since then and no trace of the disease even exists anymore. str_clar_response_2|The Clarion Call name stems from our answering the call to protect the frontier, to advance against our enemies, and to demonstrate that those who bear arms against us forfeit their lives. str_dawn_response_2|After all, every human is guilty of something! When in doubt, we simply burn them all. Our wise goddess will sort them out. str_ebon_response_2|Filthy tree rats hiding in the shadows. They're like a curse. That Red Plague which damn near ended life in Pendor, came from them, I'd wager. They ever lurk in ambush. Only way to deal with Noldor is a bolt between the eyes. str_shad_response_2|We accept the true faith of the Old Empire unquestioningly. Those misguided fools of the Radiant Cross are blind and fail to accept our traditional faith. They endlessly question that which we accept upon a leap of faith. We cannot make them see reason. str_silv_response_2|We learned from the Noldor. They hold that the bow is an extension of the body. They become one with the bow physically and with the arrow mentally. We meditate before battle to achieve this melding of weapon and soul. Some, such as our halberdiers, have even used this philosophy with other weapons. str_even_response_2|Their paranoia and fanaticism led them to murder for what they deemed blasphemy, and was frequently merely accidental on the part of their victims. They once burned a whole village, lock, stock, and peasants. They burned one of our most revered Brothers at the stake! Their reason? They thought his scholarly research was heretical. Another time, they put a merchant to the stake because he spat in the street when some of them rode by. str_phoe_response_2|We are true sons of the Ashenborn Empire. Our Emperor, Emperor Marneus Calgar, leads our people from across the sea against the very threat that is strong enough to destroy this world. You know of the Snake Cult. Our name derives from the multitude of Empires that each one has been built upon. From the ashes, the true sons spread their wings and take up arms for each new empire, now, The Ashenborn Empire. We believe that each Empire is stronger than the next, like that of the mythical Phoenix, with each resurrection. Our order is unmatched across the sea and our Emperor has sent us to Imperator Marius to help quell the unrest the Snake Cult has been creating. Unfortunately, we are now tied up in whatever this colonial Empire gets itself into. str_wolf_response_2|I will tell you little if that makes you go away. Just talking to you is more than I wish to bargain for. I am part of an order known as The Shadow Wolves. Our Emperor from across the sea has sent us here to aid the people. We undergo certain missions to stop the Snake Cult from spreading it's venomous tendrils here. With the Cult lead by Amala's fierce Maltise, this land has got its hands full. str_scor_response_2|Our order is based in the south where our people live. After the formation of the Principality, we were legally founded as an order under the Validus Charta. Our foundation was funded by Baltar al-eaqarab, one of the few leaders of the tribes competing to rule as Khan of the nomads. Unfortunately, his power and influence weren't as great as the leaders who traded with the northerners. So when the Red Plague wiped out nobility in the year 198, the power vacuum made all the tribe leaders lunge for power in the south. If there was no King, then there must be a Khan. So Baltar thought smart, and hired men to take care of his opposition. He founded the Scorpion Brotherhood as a household guard. Underneath that veil were trained assassins, my ancestors. str_krak_response_2|Religion or Cult, it boils down to the bone as the same thing, doesn't it? The Dawn like to remind everyone that there's a clear difference, but then again, it's the Dawn. We pray to the Great Hunt. The spirit we conjure form as beasts; found out at sea. They are the ultimate prey and we don't stop our season until one is killed. Each one of our masked helmets are made from the rare materials these creatures provide. We harvest what we need out at sea and return the carcass to the depths below. Sounds grandly exaggerated, but if you saw what we saw, your world would be flipped as you know it. str_player_ask_drag_3|Why would the Lords choose to support Earl Klovis' and the knights at the time? str_player_ask_lion_3|That is very insightful. What happened with trying to maintain peace? str_player_ask_immo_3|What was the immediate response to the reform? str_player_ask_wind_3|So what happened that night? str_player_ask_valk_3|That sounds hardly like an order worth joining, how did your order redeem themselves? str_player_ask_grif_3|Your order seems extremely chivalrous and devoted to the cause of justice and order. What more can you share? str_player_ask_falc_3|Not to offend you with my question, but why was your Order disbanded? str_player_ask_rave_3|So you are therefore an Order of mercenaries? str_player_ask_radi_3|That's quite terrible, hopefully it got better! str_player_ask_clar_3|I have heard people say that your horses are different from other Pendoran breeds ...? str_player_ask_dawn_3|I heard that once your Order burned a entire village and all its peasantry? str_player_ask_ebon_3|Yet some scholars embrace the elder knowledge of the Noldor and claim to have reached enlightenment from it. str_player_ask_shad_3|I understand that your Order is somewhat at odds with Marius Imperator? str_player_ask_silv_3|I heard your Order bears a grudge against the Order of the Ebony Gauntlet. str_player_ask_even_3|I gather then, that your Order's previous affiliation with them is non-existent? str_player_ask_phoe_3|That is quite an interesting view on your own Empire and the one in Pendor. How does one become a Phoenix Knight? str_player_ask_wolf_3|I see ... before I leave is there anymore you can tell me? str_player_ask_scor_3|Your order sounds like it has influenced events in Pendor with your methods of solution. str_player_ask_krak_3|I see ... anymore I should know? str_drag_response_3|The conflict with the lower kingdoms was only the beginning of the problems they faced back then. The Mystmountain tribes found them to be more susceptible to attacks and raids as Ravenstern was already at war and standing on its own feet, without southern support. The order was called upon to serve the Kingdom and to quell all unrest that the tribes caused. Let me tell you, the Order gave no mercy to the tribes, which caused them to split exponentially into smaller ones. Which, mind you, is much easier to control than a single tribe. str_lion_response_3|Many northern lords formed a pact and seceded from the Kingdom. Naturally protected by the great lake, they fortified themselves in the northern tundra, creating a new kingdom of their own. Then with the war against the Greater Baccus Empire, the order needed to start gaining influence with a winning side. The grandmaster at the time supported Duke Alfred of Sarleon as king. Furthermore, he used the old capital as his own, in turn creating the glorious Kingdom of Sarleon. In the year 298, after the original creation of the Pendor Kingdom, our order was outlawed. Why? Hard to say, since all records were destroyed by our current king, King Ulric I. Our order was reestablished once again in the year 346 in Sarleon and we became the household guard of our capital once more. str_immo_response_3|Like I stated, bloody. While we lost a lot of great men out there, we were mainly successful in rooting out most of the corrupt individuals leading the cults agenda. Cutting the snake's head, as you will. Many were driven out of fiefs and towns; mainly to the south. There are even rumors that they infiltrated nobility in Cez and the nobles there. We found no evidence. Maybe they were just good at hiding it finally ... Now we hunt roaming bands and protect our Lords as law and stature apply. Rest is history to be written. str_wind_response_3|The Windriders entered the grand tent that was strangely less guarded than anticipated. Eventually coming upon the Khan in his chambers, they had him surrounded and were ready to strike him. Before that, he began laughing. He then quickly glanced to the men who hung from the roof as they descended down and disarmed the Windriders and killing those who resisted. To those who surrendered he offered them something they did not expect; a sit-down with Itsaf himself. With their release, a place was set and the two leaders met and formed an alliance. Itsaf was granted rank of marshal and supported the aspiring Khan. The stipulation was that Itsaf could not claim the right to Khan and that the Windriders either be disbanded or removed from any kind of service to stealth and secrecy. The later was taken. Slowly the order got into skirmishes against other cultures and adopted similar fighting techniques to mounted knights and the rest is history or another story entirely. str_valk_response_3|Those woman reluctantly came upon a town controlled by a Jarl-Lord. By then, news had spread that Gardor and his raiding warband had been thrown into chaos. The Lord's lands were continuously ravaged by the disgruntled Vanskerries. With the raiding party in disarray, he was in our ancestors' debt. With some strings pulled, he was able to sign off on part of the Validus Charta. Our actions were rewarded with us becoming Valkyries, the Choosers of the Slain. Our charter was created to serve those who are being suppressed and to righteously smite oppressors from existence. While this would clearly put us at odds with the Dawn, we don't feel like creating order warfare with those who have helped our fellow Fierdsvain people. Let us hope that one day we don't choose you. Take care. str_grif_response_3|We indeed are and we are glad to have been reformed by those with similar values and hopes for a united Pendor. We are now going to give our sister order, The Knights of the Lion, a piece of their traitorous medicine if we ever meet them in combat. They spat on all good that knights stood for and claim to be the oldest and strongest of orders in Pendor. Well, sadly, we will be glad to inform them that is not the case anymore. The time for a united Pendor is now upon us. Let us hope that you have chosen the right side in this upcoming and glorious era. str_falc_response_3|When King Gregory usurped the throne of his elder sister, Madame Ursula, he claimed that ours was an invalid charter, with no authority to induct his sister, or any knights, into our ranks. He knew that we would support her claim to the throne, and proclaimed Fire and Sword against us to eliminate her threat to his stolen throne. So many of us were killed. Those few of us who survived had to remain underground out of fear for our lives. Our numbers were too few to fight back. str_rave_response_3|I suppose so, technically, since we primarily fight for pay. We prefer to consider ourselves the paid guardians and defenders of knowledge and the protectors of the scholars who pursue lost knowledge. str_radi_response_3|At first, it didn't. The order had to become even more militarized since war was rampant throughout Pendor. The order answered the call of the King of Sarleon at the time when General Oasar of Amala came in the year 202. Oasar conquered what little resistance the Sarleon lords could put up. At the battle of Sagen Glade, the order was caught off guard in the opening of a forest. The knights began getting slaughtered. Oasar's army killed every member on the field. Those who stayed in Dunglave survived and when Oasar conquered the city, he refounded the order. Those who refused his regulations were hanged. With the rise in Snake Cult activity after conquering and diseases rampant, the new order was kept busy and recruited more members from any class. Now, we spread knowledge and work with scribes up in Poinsbruk to keep records. We will not stand by as Pendor succumbs under plague. The Snake Cult must be purged. str_clar_response_3|We prefer faster horses than those heavy warhorses of other Orders, so we breed ours from D'Shar and Jatu stock and trade with their horse dealers for breeding stock. str_dawn_response_3|That corrupt offshoot Order of Eventide, my friend, spreads its heresy everywhere! They were founded upon hate, and death and hatred is what they preach. Rest assured, we will eliminate them down to the last man. They will burn in payment for their sins! Question me thusly again, and you may find yourself afire! str_ebon_response_3|Bollocks. The only true enlightenment for a Noldor is the light let into his skull from my morningstar. Till the day they all lay dead, I will fight them. I will stand with my shield brothers, hell, I'll even even stand with the Hammers. They may be dressed up commoners, but they sure can swing those hammers. The sound of one of their hammers crushing a Noldor ranger's head is poetic, to say the least. str_shad_response_3|Marius seeks to turn us from the old Empire path we follow to the Pendorian ones. Those cretins of the Radiant Cross endorse the new ways but we follow tradition. What brought glory to our ancestors will surely bring glory to us! We would prefer to convert Marius to the old ways, to persuade him that the traditions of the Old Empire should endure. Marius would see us all become mounted knights, like those 'Lions' from Sarleon or the Dawn from Barclay. The only remains of the mighty fleet the Empire used to sail here are the soldiers that we had to train to become the marines you see today. str_silv_response_3|Look, the last thing Pendor needs is an Order like Ebony Gauntlet. Don't you think there are enough people seeking to feud with the Noldor? When they are done hunting the Noldor, who will they choose next to hunt? Madness of this sort must end! str_even_response_3|I spit upon their so-called justice and honor! It is nothing more than an excuse for mayhem and senseless slaughter. Astraea granted them no right to sit in judgment upon others. They hunt those they call Heretics but it is they who named us thusly. My Order prefers to look at both sides of the coin, and we do not pass judgment upon ignorant peasants. We prevent the Order of Dawn from persecuting the people!The people themselves are joining us, D'Shar tribals now take up the cause of the Eventide as our Ghilmen. They are no knights, but that sure as hell doesn't stop them from killing any! str_phoe_response_3|Back home, our order are heir successors from knights who live long enough to produce an heir. From the moment we are old enough, we are trained to ride horse, become smiths, and we train for combat. Our future is laid out by our fathers. Each one of us wear our father's armor as they did before us and so on. Like our beliefs, we renew our armor and make it reborn from heat, ash, and steel. We have had to make due with the fact that we aren't in Amala, so we accept only the strongest this land has to offer. The Phoenix is represented upon our breastplate, so our enemies know whom they face and that each time we are struck down, we only come back stronger. str_wolf_response_3|... What you need to know is that we are a order bound by secrecy. Every word I spit out to you not only puts me in danger, but you and that horrible bard over there, by Snake Cult spies. In our line of work, we are fast and stealthy. Those two reasons alone keep us alive. If you reach your enemy before they reach you, then you have already won. Now go away before I think you're a Snake Cultist. str_scor_response_3|We have and will continue to do so as long as coin exists and problems arise. Supply meets demand. As I was saying, Baltar nearly eliminated most leaders of the tribes, absorbing them as he took them out. It quickly came to be that our order was known to operate as we do now. To avoid dying a pointless death, many leaders chose Baltar as their Khan and he in turn rewarded their loyalty. Our charter allowed us to be hired out in armies as well, to provide morale and support. A scorpion is never fearful, we can strike at a moment's notice and if our blade won't kill you, our poison will. If we find you either on the battlefield or in a dark alley, just know that it's nothing personal, just business. str_krak_response_3|During the off-season, we become a military force. We mainly provide heavy infantry support to the ranks of armies we fight with. Such is the way of our Fierdsvain blood. We are paired with our equals, the women hunters or The Storm Sisters. These lasses share the the hunt with us. But due to how the charter was formed by Vanskerry Jarls and the charters reliance on such older ways, only men can serve as Krakens. But get in our way and you won't notice a difference in our prowess when it comes to the art of hunting. Either it be bounty or human. We are all flesh and bone to be taken from this world. So ask yourself, are your the hunter or the hunted?

Jatu drums beat a dirge in tribute to the 'Scourge of Jatu' with +1 Riding skill grudgingly given you by Indar in recognition of your victory. str_achieve_heretics|With skill and perseverance you defeated the hideous Heretic Army, despite their strong and evil troops. You will now be known as the 'Purger of Heresy' to the followers of Erida Occisor, who grudgingly and with gnashing of teeth concede to you +1 Strength for your victory. str_achieve_tour_1|You have emerged the champion of 25 Tournaments and your renown increases by +100. Your opponents in future tournaments will quail when your name is announced as a participant. str_achieve_tour_2|You have conquered all comers in 50 Tournaments and now bear the title 'Tournament Champion' with +1 Weapons Master in reward for your mastery of all forms of tournament combat. str_achieve_rnwn_1|With your gain of 5000 Renown, you are hailed everywhere as the '{reg63?Hero Heroine} of Pendor' and the lords wish to grant you +1 charisma in recognition of your heroism. str_achieve_rnwn_2|All hail you as the {reg63?Lion Lioness} of Pendor since your renown has swelled to 7500!

You will henceforth be known as a 'Village Plunderer.' You really should consider reforming your ways. str_achieve_cheater_warn_1|You cheated to win that battle! This is your first warning - if you continue with your dishonorable behavior, you won't get any achievement rewards until you start a new game. str_achieve_cheater_warn_2|You cheated to win that battle! This is your second and final warning - if you continue with your dishonorable behavior, you won't get any achievement rewards until you start a new game. str_achieve_cheater|You cheated to win that battle! Your repeated dishonorable behavior has disabled all achievement rewards until you start a new game. You can still earn achievements, but you'll know you don't really deserve them. str_achieve_gm|You have risen through the ranks of a Knighthood Order to become its Grandmaster, a position of considerable power and influence among the elite soldiery of Pendor. Your exalted title wins you +1 Persuasion. You are a force to be reckoned with. str_buriligi_intro|Guided by me, you will attain Paradise through martyrdom. I will open your mind and expand your conciousness, bring you to the light through my inspiration. Pendor is a teeming morass of sin and I shall not rest until I have purged it of all which opposes the enlightenment given me by the gods. All will face the choice of conversion or instant execution. I like to eat dates and play takhte when the gods are not speaking through me, hee, hee. Do you have a takhte board with you? Let's have a game. str_buriligi_explain_1|Only through me can you walk the paths of righteousness. Ask any of my followers and they will tell you that, until they came unto me, their lives were empty, sinful and purposeless. I give them a direction, a just cause and the will to fight and die for their beliefs. You will also enjoy the method by which, ahem, I aid such enlightenment. str_buriligi_explain_2|Do you play takhte? It is a fine strategy game. If you have any dates, I'd like some. Hee, hee, hee, just wait until I rule all Pendor. I will herd these lords and kings like sheep into my fold and slaughter them. 'Better living through chemistry,' hee, hee, that's my motto! Did I ask if you had any dates? str_oswald_intro|I was outlawed by my own father over a small misunderstanding, and intend to rectify this via conquest. The rumor that I poisoned my elder brother is overblown. A petty little fool like you can scarcely comprehend the methods of one so superior, but I will attempt to educate you. Successful conquest is achieved through ruthlessness and artistic killing. Inspire terror in your enemies prior to engaging them, and the battle is won before the first sword is drawn. The more hideous examples you make, the easier it becomes to cow your enemies into abject surrender. Once I offered surrender but was refused, so I cut off all their heads and stacked them into a pyramid. Lovely sight, that. str_oswald_explain_1|It is quite simple - grab your enemy by the balls and his heart and mind will follow. Do not release your captives, torture them and leave their mutilated remains for all to admire. Ransoming prisoners or selling them into slavery is so mundane. There are so many more enjoyable and educational ways of dealing with them. str_oswald_explain_2|I like to rope my prisoners into three lines children, women and men. First, I kill the children as their mothers shriek and plead for their little lives. Next, I have my men rape the women while the men curse and struggle helplessly, then we slit their throats. The men I torture to death in creative ways. The next time I confront an enemy, I offer a choice between instant surrender or similar treatment. You'd be surprised how often a stronger foe capitulates at the prospect of such a fate. You look a bit queasy - did you eat something which disagrees with you? str_meregan_intro|I am an easy man to understand. My code is straightforward and my troop and I live by it. When I take a contract to escort a lord's wife or guard a caravan, the caravan arrives intact and on time, and the noble ladies are shown great courtesy and guarded carefully during their journey. Hah, sometimes they are guarded more assiduously than they'd prefer, much to their chagrin, if you take my meaning! We are very discreet, and are given confidential jobs, such as retrieving runaway wives or delivering letters which must not fall into the wrong hands. Never a word leaks out, when I handle the job. str_meregan_explain_1|I have excellent female fighters in my company, so I detail them as guards for the ladies I escort. They are well-mannered and the ladies enjoy their conversation; in fact, I actually have recruits from amongst the nobility - lord's daughters who wished for the freedom enjoyed by the women of my troop. My lasses can hold their own in a battle or a tavern brawl, as their would-be seducers have found. str_meregan_explain_2|Do not think our courtesy in any way hampers our efficiency. My troops are ferocious fighters, one and all, and our reputation for relentless defense of our charges and skill in battle precedes us. We are rarely challenged by bandits or other riffraff. When a king hires the Griffonsword Company, he gets a lot more than he pays for! str_kodan_intro|No doubt you have heard that tavern ditty that begins 'My father arrived on a Vanskerry raid, and married my mother, a Fierdsvain maid...' It goes on to describe my exploits pretty well. My company includes many former Vanskerry Raiders and their Fierdsvain-born sons. My lads have a few bad habits, such as wrecking the Valonbray tavern once in awhile, but it is all in good fun, and I always pay the tavern keep for the damages. They are a fierce lot and, thanks to my training and discipline, far surpass the Vanskerries and every other Pendor company in fighting skill. str_kodan_explain_1|My philosophy, like me, is very simple I honor my word, do exactly what I am hired to do and extract payment by force if my employer tries to weasel out of paying me. Koningur Valdis is a prime example not long ago, he hired me to kick a little Vanskerry butt along the coast, which I did, but he then tried to re-negotiate the terms of payment for the job. str_kodan_explain_2|After I raided a few dozen of his caravans, he came around. I even deducted the value of the goods I looted from the balance he owed me, though I doubt he paid the caravan masters for their losses, stingy old bastard that he is. If you want a job done right, my Ironsword Company is the company you hire. When the Ironsword Company goes Pendor on somebody's ass, every lord and king hears about it within a day! str_syla_intro|Confide in a worthless upstart like you? I think not! The corpses I leave behind on the field of battle will tell you all you need to know about Syla Uzas. If you want to learn more, pit your paltry little troop against mine. You will learn then the folly of bothering your betters. str_syla_explain_1|You are a glutton for abuse, aren't you? I take what I want by force and no man can stand against me. I kill those annoy me as you would swat a persistent fly. My company has never been defeated. str_syla_explain_2|I am here solely to negotiate a contract for the elimination of someone who has annoyed someone else. That is all you need to know. Pester me further, and I'll toss you to my men. I'm sure they will find you more entertaining than I do. str_shalavan_intro|I am a former lord of the D'Shar, unjustly deprived of my holdings by the Bahadur Khan. I have called blood feud upon him, and I shall take not only my lands but also his as well in revenge. His army shall become my army and his women my women. I will wear his crown and feast in his palace when I defeat him. His head will rest upon a platter on my table as I devour his delicacies. str_shalavan_explain_1|That fornicating camel-lover had the audacity to command me, Shalavan, a true D'Shar, to cease raiding and send my men to aid his endless wars. I informed him that he could damned well recruit the men he needed elsewhere, as I was occupied with the traditional D'Shar ways of making a living. In revenge, he sent his men to drive me from my land and stripped me of my titles. str_shalavan_explain_2|He already feels my vengeance. Since he named me outlaw, outlaw I have become and my forces swell with recruited raiders from the fearsome Pansjiri, Turkmani and Balochi raiders throughout the Principalities. At the hands of outlaws shall he fall! I intend to raze the D'Shar cities, execute his soft and lazy lords and restore the D'Shar to the nomadic tribal state traditional to our people. Let Kadan sip wine, recite poetry and amuse himself with his women while he yet can. His days as Bahadur Khan are numbered! str_boris_intro|Doubtless you would, as most little mercenaries aspire to be just like me! That is a vain aspiration, but I am bored, so I will condescend to chat for a moment. My Ravens excel in siegework and are the most fearsome fighters in Pendor. I deign to work for petty Pendor rulers on occasion, but only for a very high price. Never think I don't get my price, too - they soil their armor at the thought of what I would do if they tried to double cross me. They are feckless fools and one day, I will take their thrones. str_boris_explain_1|Pendor needs a strong and intelligent ruler, one who can unite the land under one banner. I know in my heart that I am the hero Madigan prophecied would succeed at that. Of course, I don't share that information with the kings who engage my services. Hah, even if I did, those morons would ignore the warning! I'd suggest that, should you happen upon us in the field, you beat a very hasty retreat. You'll live longer if you do. str_boris_explain_2|We are not only superb at siegework, for I am a most excellent strategist. The Ravenstern lords run like frightened virgins when they encounter us. I milk those lords for every denar they have in ransom, too. One lord, whom I won't name, even offered me the use of his wife and daughters if I'd just let him go. Hmph, a man like me does not need to pay for noble bedmates! I get more offers of that sort than I want or need! Perhaps, if you continue to increase in skill, I may hire your company when I rule Pendor. Now run along; you bore me. str_inquisitor_intro|The holy men with me will help rid these lands of vile worshipers of Erida Occisor! Death to all demon spawn and their heathen followers!

Speak up, what's the problem? str_heartbeat_intro_response_7|Ah yes! What is the issue? str_heartbeat_problem_statement_1|Rats, {reg63?M'lord M'lady}! We have a terrible infestation of rats. str_heartbeat_problem_statement_2|We have had unusually heavy rains and some flooding {reg63?M'lord M'lady}. str_heartbeat_problem_statement_3|We need to hire the local Witch, {reg63?M'lord M'lady}! str_heartbeat_problem_statement_4|Two of the village clans are fighting again - they've sworn blood feud against one another. str_heartbeat_problem_statement_5|We have a situation with horse thieves here, {reg63?M'lord M'lady}! str_heartbeat_problem_statement_6|Wolves!

They're robbing everybody! str_heartbeat_problem_statement_16|It concerns the castle {reg63?M'lord M'lady}! Repairs are urgently needed. str_heartbeat_problem_statement_17|Deserters, dangerous ones, {reg63?M'lord M'lady}! str_heartbeat_problem_statement_18|We need to review some petitions for new trade routes. str_heartbeat_problem_1_a|They are as big as small dogs and have carried off children! Our villagers are afraid to take to the fields and some refuse to leave their home. Can you help us? str_heartbeat_problem_1_b|They are everywhere, even in the cooking pots and under the beds. They scurry everywhere, destroying our food stocks and spreading their filth! If we don't do something, they may cause a plague. We need your help! str_heartbeat_problem_1_c|They are huge {reg63?M'lord M'lady}! They scurry everywhere, destroying our food stocks and spreading their filth! If we don't do something, they may cause a plague. They have glittering eyes, small jutting teeth... shudder , we are only poor farmers and need your help to rid ourselves of these filthy rodents! str_heartbeat_problem_1_d|Some are very large and they are very aggressive. Packs of them have attacked our villagers in the fields and many people are afraid to venture out of their homes to tend the crops. Can you help us? str_heartbeat_problem_2_a|The streams have overflowed from these torrential rains, and have washed away the roads. str_heartbeat_problem_2_b|The fields have flooded and we may lose our crops! Some farmers have been ruined already. str_heartbeat_problem_2_c|The sudden flooding has washed away some farms and several people have drowned! str_heartbeat_problem_2_d|Due to recent heavy rains, the river is rising and the village crops are threatened by flood. If we don't do something, our crops will be destroyed. str_heartbeat_problem_3_a|Some disease is destroying our crops; they are wilting and rotting. We must hire the local Witch to remove the curse from our harvest. Will you help us? str_heartbeat_problem_3_b|We have not had rain in a long time, and our crops are failing. We need to hire the local druidic witch to invoke the rain to save our crops! We need your help! str_heartbeat_problem_3_c|The local Witch says that we have been cursed! Two women here have had miscarriages, a horse died unexpectedly and five villagers have had freakish accidents. We need to hire the Witch to remove this curse! str_heartbeat_problem_3_d|Many of our villagers have come down with a strange fever. A local Witch says she can help us, but she will not do it for free. Can you help us? str_heartbeat_problem_4_a|The old clan led by one of the Village Elders has killed four people of the newcomer clan. The newcomers have killed six of the old clan thus far. This started over a perceived slight to the Village Elder who then raided a newcomer farm and burned their barn to the ground. This feud could go on for generations, if it is not stopped now by someone in authority whom the tribes respect. str_heartbeat_problem_4_b|The tribal elder claims a man of the of the newcomer clan dishonored his daughter. The elder claim their man offered honorable marriage to the girl, when she discovered she was bearing his child, but her father demanded a ridiculous dowry. When the newcomer clan refused to pay it, the Village Elder declared blood feud. str_heartbeat_problem_4_c|We've a disagreement over a stolen blue-eyed sheep escalating into a clan feud. The Tribal Elder purchased the sheep from the newcomers, who apparently did not receive payment. They took back the sheep, citing nonpayment and perverse use of livestock, and took a dozen of the Elders sheep as interest. The Elder has sworn blood feud and the situation grows worse by the hour. str_heartbeat_problem_4_d|Recently a large new family moved into the area and set up several farms. They need water from a small stream to water their fields, a stream that flows upstream through a village Elder's farm. The Elder built a dam and asks payment from the new family to let the water through. This has erupted into a feud which might turn very ugly. We need your help. str_heartbeat_problem_5_a|One of our citizens claims his plow horses have been stolen. He's looked everywhere and cannot locate them, so we doubt it simply wandered off. Can you help us? str_heartbeat_problem_5_b|One of the peasants claims there are bandits in the area and they stole their horses. We need your help to recover them. str_heartbeat_problem_5_c|We have a report that several bandits made off with a herd of our horses. {M'lord/M'lady}, we need your help in recovering them. str_heartbeat_problem_5_d|A known thief and his sidekick stole two of our horses. Will you help track them down and recover our horses? str_heartbeat_problem_6_a|A pack of wolves has come down from the mountains and is ravaging the villagers' livestock. One herder was attacked and fear is running high. str_heartbeat_problem_6_b|Some of the peasants think the Mystmountain Raiders are stealing their herds, but the carcasses devoured are left behind. str_heartbeat_problem_6_c|The villagers say the wolves are very fierce and bold and they are too afraid to guard their herds at night. str_heartbeat_problem_6_d|We must eliminate these wolves before the villagers' herds are all eaten! str_heartbeat_problem_7_a|A large band of refugees is harassing the locals. They first asked for food, and were given some, but now they refuse to leave! What do you want to do with them? str_heartbeat_problem_7_b|A group of refugees is squatting just outside of the marketplace. They have taken to begging and harassing people who enter the market. This, of course, is nuisance to the merchants, who want them removed. What do you want to do? str_heartbeat_problem_7_c|We've a pack of peasant refugees outside the gate, petitioning you for aid. str_heartbeat_problem_7_d|We have a large group of refugees, including several families with small children, who want to start a new life here. What do we tell them? str_heartbeat_problem_8_a|The forest outside the village caught fire, it spread and the village mill was severely damaged. str_heartbeat_problem_8_b|There was a fire in the smithy which spread to the market, and damaged it badly. str_heartbeat_problem_8_c|The was a fire that started in the stables and spread through the area. str_heartbeat_problem_8_d|We have had a succession of suspicious fires that have damaged homes and businesses str_heartbeat_problem_9_a|Someone has thrown the rotting carcass of a goat into the well, and the water is completely befouled. str_heartbeat_problem_9_b|There is an outbreak of typhoid here, and we fear polluted wells are the cause. str_heartbeat_problem_9_c|Five men died this morning after drinking from the well. I fear an enemy has poisoned it. str_heartbeat_problem_9_d|A troublemaker we made outcast was seen pouring something into the well, and now the water is foul tasting and makes us sick. str_heartbeat_problem_10_a|The peasants claim a woman in the village is a Heretic and want to burn her at the stake. She's ancient and reputed to be very nasty, so I'm not sure if she is a Heretic or just a senile, disagreeable old bag whom the villagers dislike. str_heartbeat_problem_10_b|We found the body of a girl with her heart ripped out. We've captured one of the five Heretics who murdered her. When taken, all he did was yell 'For Glory'! He shows no fear at all. str_heartbeat_problem_10_c|We've caught an unsavory character lurking around the marketplace. From the look and smell of him, he is a Heretic! We're holding him for your judgement. str_heartbeat_problem_10_d|We have caught an odd wandering old man who is wild eyed and babbles about a plot to take you as a sacrifice to Erida Occisor. What shall we do with him? str_heartbeat_problem_11_a|A Snake Cult Armsman bought some vegetables from us, and asked whether we had any girl babies here. str_heartbeat_problem_11_b|A woman who hissed when she spoke questioned the tavern keeper about how many troops we have stationed here. He spotted her walking around later,too, looking all about. str_heartbeat_problem_11_c|A couple of men showed up here asking for work, and we think they may be Snake Cult spies. They didn't do much work at all, just hung about and looked over the battlements and other defenses. str_heartbeat_problem_11_d|Rumor holds that six orphan girls are missing. We think the Snake Cult is taking them. str_heartbeat_problem_12_a|To pray for better crops, we'd like to build a shrine to Thallo Ver Shures, but we can't afford the cost. Will you help us? str_heartbeat_problem_12_b|The Snake Cult defiled the shrine of Damia Provideo and we must build a new one before the Harvest Festival. Will you help us? str_heartbeat_problem_12_c|We think that if we had a shrine to Eunomia Stabilitis here, some of the lawlessness in the surrounding country would abate. Could you pay for the shrine? str_heartbeat_problem_12_d|The Knights of Dawn demand we erect a shrine to Astraea here, and say we have to tear down all our other shrines to the Pendor gods. What should we do? str_heartbeat_problem_13_a|The people have broken out in itchy red spots all over their bodies, and fear it is the Red Plague. Rumor holds that a band of Snake Cultists crossed the fields last week. They may have sent the plague. str_heartbeat_problem_13_b|The men ate some bad food, and they are all in agony with stomach trouble. The jakes are in a terrible state, just terrible, and the whole area is covered in vomit! What should we do? str_heartbeat_problem_13_c|Half the garrison is afflicted with, ahem, a social disease, {reg63?M'lord M'lady}, and the source is almost certainly the local brothel. str_heartbeat_problem_13_d|There is something in the air that makes us sneeze and cough all the time. The people think it must be some kind of plague. str_heartbeat_problem_14_a|The {s20} leading a company of {s21} has approached us asking for employment. They look like a well-trained force. They will join you for 10,000 denars. str_heartbeat_problem_14_b|{reg63?M'lord M'lady}, a company of {s21} arrived a few days ago. They are seeking employment and await your decision on hiring them. Their leader, a {s20} requested 10,000 denars to serve you. str_heartbeat_problem_14_c|{reg63?M'lord M'lady}, there is a troop of {s21} camped outside our gates. Their leader, a {s20} asks if you will hire them for the sum of 10,000 denars. str_heartbeat_problem_14_d|There is a large company of {s21} sitting outside our gates! They will hire out for the sum of 10,000 denars. They look fierce and I don't know what they will do if you turn them down! str_heartbeat_problem_15_a|Someone here is pilfering food. Our stores are going missing regularly. str_heartbeat_problem_15_b|Someone has raided our weapons stores and taken all our best bows and arrows. str_heartbeat_problem_15_c|Someone here is picking pockets whenever a crowd assembles. The people are very angry about it. str_heartbeat_problem_15_d|Someone is stealing our young women's underwear off their drying lines. str_heartbeat_problem_16_a|During the last siege, the curtain wall was badly damaged and if we don't repair it, it will collapse. It will cost 2500 denars. str_heartbeat_problem_16_b|One of the castle gates is about to fall off its hinges. We have a serious security problem there. str_heartbeat_problem_16_c|We've discovered a tunnel in the dungeon leading out to the woods. Should we block it off, {reg63?M'lord M'lady}, or keep it for emergencies? str_heartbeat_problem_16_d|There are weak spots in the portcullis and if we have to lower it fast, it may break. str_heartbeat_problem_17_a|There's a pack of deserters roaming the countryside. The people are terrified of them. str_heartbeat_problem_17_b|We saw a couple of our men sneaking away last night. They deserted on duty in the middle of the night. str_heartbeat_problem_17_c|A large band of deserters is raiding caravans and robbing the peasants here. str_heartbeat_problem_17_d|Some deserters raided the village last week, and they returned again last night! str_heartbeat_problem_18_a|An Emissary requests your permission to open trade between Duke Sandoval of Barclay and your town. str_heartbeat_problem_18_b|We have a request from Southern Barclay that we permit their caravans to trade in our town. What do you wish to tell them? str_heartbeat_problem_18_c|A most importunate group of merchants from Mettenheim wishes to see you for the purpose of trade. They say they can increase prosperity if you agree. str_heartbeat_problem_18_d|Here is a petition from a trade ambassador that you allow a group of their nobles to open up new sea trade routes from Veccavi to this city. str_heartbeat_problem_response_1_a|Let's hunt them down. I declare an Open Season on Rats 1 denar per rat killed! str_heartbeat_problem_response_1_b|Here are 100 denars. Put out poisoned food for the rats and burn their bodies. str_heartbeat_problem_response_1_c|Call in that fellow, Hamlin, the best of the Pendor Rat-Catchers. Here are 500 denars to pay him. str_heartbeat_problem_response_1_d|Do I look like a rat-catcher, fool? Solve this rat problem yourself. str_heartbeat_problem_response_2_a|What do you suppose I can do about normal weather? Live with it! str_heartbeat_problem_response_2_b|I am sorry to hear that. Distribute these 100 denars to those who need it. str_heartbeat_problem_response_2_c|Here are 1000 denars to aid those in need. str_heartbeat_problem_response_2_d|Take 2500 denars for repairs and for those who need help. str_heartbeat_problem_response_3_a|What? We do not believe in superstitious rubbish! str_heartbeat_problem_response_3_b|Take 100 denars and find a solution which does not include a Witch. str_heartbeat_problem_response_3_c|Here are 500 denars to hire your Witch. str_heartbeat_problem_response_3_d|Take 1000 denars, hire the Witch and have her bless our village as well! str_heartbeat_problem_response_4_a|This is your problem to solve, not mine. str_heartbeat_problem_response_4_b|Order the local militia to enforce the peace! str_heartbeat_problem_response_4_c|Here are 300 denars. Give this to the village Elder as payment to end the Blood Feud. str_heartbeat_problem_response_4_d|Take 500 denars for the widows, arrest the leaders of both clans and hang them! str_heartbeat_problem_response_5_a|Tell them to mend their fences and watch the horses more carefully in future. str_heartbeat_problem_response_5_b|Here are 200 denars as a bounty for the return of the horses. str_heartbeat_problem_response_5_c|Take these 300 denars and buy them more horses. str_heartbeat_problem_response_5_d|Order the Militia and hunt down those thieves! str_heartbeat_problem_response_6_a|You have plenty of hunters here; send them out to kill the wolves! str_heartbeat_problem_response_6_b|Take 100 denars, hire some extra hunters and eliminate the pack! str_heartbeat_problem_response_6_c|Take 400 denars, ask advice of the local Witch and follow it. str_heartbeat_problem_response_6_d|Here are 100 denars for bait, now take the militia and trap the beasts! str_heartbeat_problem_response_7_a|We have no need of more mouths to feed; run them off. str_heartbeat_problem_response_7_b|Give them some food, then send them on their way. str_heartbeat_problem_response_7_c|They are welcome to stay. It is our duty to show charity to those in need. str_heartbeat_problem_response_7_d|We could use more subjects. Here are 800 denars to build them houses. str_heartbeat_problem_response_8_a|I'll give 500 denars towards materials for repairs, but you will have to provide the labor. str_heartbeat_problem_response_8_b|Take these 1000 denars and begin repairs immediately. str_heartbeat_problem_response_8_c|You dragged me back here urgently for a fire?! You try my patience severely. str_heartbeat_problem_response_8_d|Arrest whoever started the fire and hang him. str_heartbeat_problem_response_9_a|So drain and clean the well, fool. Here are 100 denars for the labor. str_heartbeat_problem_response_9_b|We'd best summon physicians to deal with any sickness. Here are 500 denars. str_heartbeat_problem_response_9_c|Find the one who befouled or poisoned the well. Under torture, discover who sent him. str_heartbeat_problem_response_9_d|Have the militia hunt down the culprit and hang him. str_heartbeat_problem_response_10_a|We hand over all Heretics to the Knights of Dawn. See to it. str_heartbeat_problem_response_10_b|Inform the captured Heretic that we will torture the confession out of them 'for Glory'! str_heartbeat_problem_response_10_c|Let us be quite sure we are actually dealing with Heretics before we kill an innocent. str_heartbeat_problem_response_10_d|I have dealt with heretics before and killed plenty. This is not one of them. Let this person go. str_heartbeat_problem_response_11_a|If anyone told him we've girl babies here, flog the blabbermouth for his indiscretion! str_heartbeat_problem_response_11_b|Have the guard track down and capture the spy. Offer a reward of 500 denars for a live one! str_heartbeat_problem_response_11_c|Flog the captain of the guard for letting Snake Cultists in here to begin with! str_heartbeat_problem_response_11_d|Here are 2000 denars. Get any orphans off the street and housed safely in an orphanage. str_heartbeat_problem_response_12_a|I'm not paying to support superstitious nonsense like shrines to gods who don't exist! str_heartbeat_problem_response_12_b|Certainly. Here are 350 denars for your shrine. str_heartbeat_problem_response_12_c|Here, take 200 denars, build your shrine over in the next kingdom. Not here. str_heartbeat_problem_response_12_d|Very well build your shrine, just do not cause strife in my realm with followers of other Deities. str_heartbeat_problem_response_13_a|Here are 500 denars. Send for physicians from the Radiant Cross. str_heartbeat_problem_response_13_b|Take these 300 denars and find whatever medicines you need. str_heartbeat_problem_response_13_c|Cease your sinful habits and the gods won't send you diseases in punishment. str_heartbeat_problem_response_13_d|Do I look like a physician? I can't do anything about this! str_heartbeat_problem_response_14_a|I cannot afford to pay that sum just now. Send them on their way. str_heartbeat_problem_response_14_b|Excellent news! I can certainly use them. Here are 10,000 denars. str_heartbeat_problem_response_14_c|I don't trust mercenaries. Tell them to leave immediately. str_heartbeat_problem_response_14_d|Hmm, Yes indeed. Give them an extra 2000 denars for goodwill and have them report forthwith! str_heartbeat_problem_response_15_a|Hmm, if the thief stole from true need, find out why and give him aid. str_heartbeat_problem_response_15_b|Security here needs an overhaul. Post additional patrols to keep this from happening again. str_heartbeat_problem_response_15_c|Take the Militia and do a house to house search! str_heartbeat_problem_response_15_d|I will offer a 200 denar reward for apprehension of the thief. Dead or Alive. str_heartbeat_problem_response_16_a|Here are 2500 denars for repairs. Have the engineers begin immediately. str_heartbeat_problem_response_16_b|I can't afford to pay that right now. Do what you can with this 1000 denars. str_heartbeat_problem_response_16_c|I can either pay for repairs or pay the troops. I prefer to pay my men. str_heartbeat_problem_response_16_d|You're the one in charge here - do what you think best. str_heartbeat_problem_response_17_a|Here are 500 denars, just to make sure that none of our men decide to join them. str_heartbeat_problem_response_17_b|I'll pay a bounty of 10 denars per dead deserter. Spread the word. str_heartbeat_problem_response_17_c|Thanks for the information, Pendor has it's own way of dealing with scum like this. str_heartbeat_problem_response_17_d|We hang deserters. We will hunt them down and take care of the problem. str_heartbeat_problem_response_18_a|Tell them that I require a fee of 2000 denars to grant them permission. str_heartbeat_problem_response_18_b|A fine idea. More caravans will increase all Pendor's prosperity. str_heartbeat_problem_response_18_c|I don't trust foreigners to trade fairly here. The answer is no. str_heartbeat_problem_response_18_d|Tell them they may trade here, but if they undercut Pendor merchants, I'll revoke their permits.

Spinal Path Editing Since it can be tedious to repeatedly change coordinate system setups, SynthEyes can dynamically recompute portions of a solve as you change certain values. Warning this is a really advanced topic. It can be used quickly and easily, especially Align mode, but it can just as quickly reduce your solve to rubble. We’re not kidding, this thing is complicated! First, what is “spinal editing” and why is it called that? Spinal editing is designed to work on an already-solved track, where you have an existing camera or object path to manipulate. The path is the spine that we edit. It is spinal because you can think of the trackers as being attached to it like ribs. If you manipulate the spine, the ribs move in response. You’ll be working on the spine to improve or reposition it. The perspective window s local-coordinate-system and path-relative handles can help make specific adjustments to the camera path. After you have completed an initial solve producing a camera path, you can initiate spinal editing by launching the control panel with the Window/Spinal Editing menu item. This will open a small spinal control panel. You can also enable spinal editing with the Edit/Spinal aligning and Edit/Spinal solving menu items, though then you lose the feedback from the control panel. There are two basic modes, controlled by the button at top left of the spinal control panel Align and Solve. Note that the recalculations done by spinal editing are launched only in response to a specific relatively small set of operations · dragging the camera or object in a 3-D viewport or perspective view, · dragging the “seed point” (lock coordinates) of a properly-configured tracker in a 3-D viewport or perspective view, · changing the field of view spinner on the lens control panel or soft-lock panel. · changing the weight control on the spinal editing dialog. In order for a tracker s seed point to be dragged and used for spinal alignment, it must be set to Lock Point mode. Spinal Align Mode In Align mode, your path is moved around as the coordinate system is repeatedly updated, but the shape of the path and the relationship to the trackers is not affected. The RMS error of the solve is unchanged. This can be a nice way to help get that specific coordinate system alignment you want; it allows a mixture of object and tracker constraints. You can use a combination of locks on the camera and on trackers in the scene. As you drag the camera or tracker, the alignment will be repeatedly recalculated. Use the figure of merit value to keep track of whether you have an overconstrained setup the value is normally very small, such as 0.000002. If it rises much above that, you don’t have a minimal set of constraints (typically it reaches 0.020–0.050). That is not a problem—unless you begin solving with the Constrain checkbox on. Note that all camera and object locks are treated as hard locks by the alignment software. Spinal Solve Mode In Solve mode, you are changing the solve itself, generally by adding constraints on the camera path, then re-solving. The RMS error will always get worse! But it lets you interactively repair weak spots in your solve. The spinal solve performs a Refine operation on your existing solution, meaning that it makes small changes to that solution. If the constraints you add after the initial solve, either directly or by dragging with the spinal solve mode, change the solution too much, then you will get a solution that is “the best solution near the old solution” rather than the best overall solution, which you would obtain by starting the solve from scratch (ie Automatic solving mode). To maintain interactive response rates, the spinal solve panel allows you to terminate the refine operation early—and while dragging you’re just going to be changing things again anyway. When you stop dragging, SynthEyes will perform a last refine cycle to allow the refine to complete, although you can also keep it from taking too long. After you’ve been moving around for a bit, especially if your solves are not completing all the way, you can click the Finish button to launch a final normal Refine cycle (Finish is the same as the Go button on the solver panel). Spinal editing might be used in especially subtle ways on long shots. Match-moving inherently produces local “rate of change” measurements, and small random errors (often amplified by small systematic effects such as lens distortion or off-center optic axis) accumulate to produce small twists in the geometry by the end of a long traveling shot. If you have GPS or survey data you can easily fix this using a few locks. But survey data is not always available. These accumulating errors can be particularly problematic when a long shot loops back onto itself. Suppose a shot starts with a building site for a house, showing the ground where it will be. The shot flies past the house, loops around, then approaches from the side. However, the side view does not include the ground, but only some other details not visible from the front. The inserted house is now seen at an incorrect location, perhaps slanted a bit. The path needs to be bent into shape, and spinal path editing can help you achieve that. Please keep in mind that the results of these manipulated solves are generally not the same result you would obtain if you started the solve again from scratch in Automatic solving mode. You might consider re-starting the solve periodically to make sure you’re not doing a whole lot of work on a marginal solution. Using soft locks and spinal editing mode is a black art made available to those who wish to use it, for whatever results can be obtained with it. It is a tool that affects the solver in a certain way. There is no guarantee that it will do the specific thing that you want at this moment. If it does not do what you think it “should be doing,” it is not a bug.

The character which became the dimension of the name He s one of a character of Angelique . His name is Julious. A official site of Angelique (Only Japanese). His profile is here (Only Japanese). He has the power of the light. It s strong, is pure and is gentle light. English translation of his profile (The part is quoted) He vows loyalty to a queen. He has a strong sense of responsibility. His hobbies are horse back riding, chess and darts. I m his fan! Now, I was contributing a picture to a magazine as Neo-Romance Cure! of Angelique, Corda d oro, and Haruka. I have to decide a pen name. Monthly publication Neo-Romance Cure! (Only Japanese) So I thought.Because I’m woman, I ll put “ko”. at the end of the name. Because I like Julious, I ll make it a pen name related to Light. Because it s pen name which has everyone see, I ll make sure that it ll be easy to remember in 4 character name just like real name. If no (野) puts it, it seems to be a last name in Japanese! The name which seems to be real name but and many people find out it s a pen name is very cute. isn t it? Then, that s it for the thing which was flashing one after another. And the girls who appear in Sailormoon from a letter called 野 - no were remembered. A official site of Sailormoon.Channel (Only Japanese). Sailor Moon (Wikipedia) I like the name of 4 character of Kanji in Japanease. I actually felt at the same time! (But, the hue of Kanji may be difficult to realize by an English spelling...) My pen name was decided in 光野 陽子 by such translations. It was when it was used as the ID by a site as Hatena Haiku later, that I decided on an English spelling as hikarino_youko . So a capital letter isn t used. In other words, I also decided to use Pen Name as Handle. 光野 陽子 and hikarino_youko are the same way to read.P.S. I think it was around July of 2000 that I have begun the internet. I was Julius s fan from at that time. Thank you very much for reading!That s it for this page. BACK HOME Links of @wiki and CM
