There is that, different battle methods.

Thoughtful noise, not rejection noise. :)

Ah, just checking. ^_^

Zara continues to be useless in combat! 😄

Earl ain't exactly Bruce Lee 🙂

If it makes Zara feel better, she can probably take Jer on right now and win....

well

Hell, one of their major Oaths are to fight with someone and they gain one WP and one health level.

And is exactly equal with Ice.

Don't know about that...

she does have dodge 1?

So does he. Remember, that's why he had to slap her on the Nightmare Trod.

Aesin played properly are Norsemen.

Because he couldn't hold onto her.

Vikings?

Yes, but why do we need a new house just to have vikings?

Because Vikings are awesome

we have a WHOLE KITH of vikings

Honestly, I picture a trained Gwydion Warrior finding himself swarmed by enemies might actually have reason to smile if he knows he's better than them "Gentlemen, I have you right where I want you..." "We have you surrounded" "No, you've given me free reign to fight!" Make 'bring it' motion

a core kith, at that

Which kith?

Aesin makes some sense with the whole Aesir LIght Elves bit

Trolls.

I never saw trolls as vikings.

With their hammers and their runes and their lodges...

It would have been handy if they had mentioned more of....how trolls and Aesin fit together back in the day? Or does it?

Trollls are def. Nordic.

Nordic, yes, but not boat-sailing conquerors.

Vikings are norsemen

I know.

Don't ask me, I'm more or less neutral. I can see where they may have been seen as Light Elves of old, but OTOH, if Sidhe were Welsh to begin with, why would they have spread to the North?

I tend to mix a bit of Scott and Cornwall into my trolls now and then. 🙂 But mostly I see them as Norse

It would be like putting trolls in Africa.

That doesn't make them what dreams exist of Vikings though.

Well, most of the kiths are rooted in gaelic myth - nockers, sluagh, pooka, sidhe...

But I see it like this.... Aesin are Viking Offense! Trolls are Norse Defense 🙂

Sluagh are supposed to have been Russian, Eshu African....

but sluagh are also mixed up with russian things...

Trolls I am certain exist in Africa, just in a different form.

Yeah.

Eshu do come from orisha, yeah, which are Yoruban

But my point is, those dreams can exist ANYwhere

But then they would have taken a different form.

It DOES say, a lot of kiths died out.

Two handful is far less than they started with.

I still think sidhe are sidhe and elves and aesir and all "fair & shining" folk

It's why Panther is almost a blend of Slav and Middle Eastern.

while nockers are tommyknockers and gremlins and goblins and kobolds...

Sometimes it's fun to shake things up. Conrordia especially. Blood lines in America are a jumble .... and rightly so, so fae being 'drawn to blood' might end up where they didn't expect. Africian American trolls, Polish American Eshu.. and Sidhe can take any 'body' though they may be guided/picky.

And no, that is neither his fae or real name.
