anyway a jarl is definitely a Baron level or maybe even sometimes count level entity. ;3

those were more coalitions, they were unified against specific people but internally were very decentralized.

Denmark however I believe was unified, but it's not really what I consider a king. unless the only thing required to be king is to have no one directly above you.

of course thinking back I am basing my take on king to be very much more late european, I may be over estimating what it really requires to be a "king". such as the Holy Roman Empire 'W'.

Eh, we're just waiting for the GM to get back.

@Asta: Realllly depends on the country. Some of the European and Scandinavian states were huge, kingdoms akin to modern countries; some were "Petty Kings" with "kingdoms" the size of New Jersey, home to only a few Jarls; some were free Jarls with lands too small to call themselves kings.

Scandanavian "states", baring a few exceptions, didn't get Kingdom size until they went all christian on us. Like I said they more formed coalitions than kingdoms. At least that's my understanding of the north. They had power more in lines with dukedoms, shattering to pieces on the "kings" death.

hmm? given the times it more like Mayor versus Governor, not even that. It's in Western/Central European standards a Baron versus a count or duke. This period wasn't known for actual hierarchical loyalty and more about alliances than a feudal governing.

if anything you can reduce the precipitation, also possibly warming it up inside the tavern or long house.

Neve you just have base weather sphere right? because the GM said it was snowing/sleet which requires cold level 4, which you need CL 7 to raise the temperature of. Just mentioning because I was considering raising the temp. :3

Holding back shock that I was just talking to the Departed Jarl's Son, and seeing him already being dragged off to somewhere else, [b]"Thank you, but please if you need an extra pair of hands while I stay here, then ask for Asta at the Tavern and give me a chance to repay the hospitality." I then nod at him and continue on my way, entering the Tavern.

looked up the laws of hospitality and what not, the Tavern is a place we can sleep right? or is it the longhouse, or are they the same thing? either case, replace tavern with longhouse if that's where it'd be easiest to sleep

2 posts in and already on an emotional rollercoaster. though, i'd be lying if I said i didn't expect it.

Not so healthy it seems, at least not anymore. I get up and sheepishly make my way back to the tavern carrying my chest, walking inside I try not to be too loud about it. This is probably going to make getting work here hard, may have to move on soon. Though my heart goes out to the survivors.

the norns write fate, but I think it's more like they write things in rather than declaring everything.

paladins as a class don't specifically require a deity. Also, yeah, aren't the norns the three old ladies that behave like the fates? how are they related to Valkyries? some short google-fu has only yielded that they are tangentially linked in that they're both related to fate.

to be clear, as it may have not been before. while I may be confused for a varulfur my taint or abilities or what ever, come from fenrir, that's all my character knows. Just feel I may have given off the impression that i had been looking for something werewolf-like in norse lore, but I wasn't, I just was simply unaware if werewolf-like beings existed in the world we were in. from the sound of it, mine is slightly more neffarious than normal varulfur.

Well yeah, what ever happened, it specifically happened when I was young or born. I don't know who my parents are and the only family I had was a sister who I lost also when I was very young. so, this is definitely not something I asked for XD.

Funny, because I've left how it happened specifically open ended and secondly because I've come to look for inspiration in Loki "they hate you, but they need you". The rest sounds about what I've had it as.

Asta had been walking for the better part of the day when she finally got to Halfstead. She saw the Tavern rather quickly upon entering town and made her way towards it preparing for a nice warm enclosure. She had walked in took the chest and backpack off her back sat down finally enjoying the weight off her feet and started taking off her winter clothing when all the commotion started happening.

---

I gave out a heavy sigh as I reversed the motion of taking off my coat. Suppose I shouldn't miss this, will give a good indication on the health of the town. I heft my backpack back on my back but simply carry the Chest, walking outside to find a good vantage point before putting the chest down and sitting on it.

I'm professionally a monster hunter, though I do not shirk off "regular" work if payed enough. Think of it kind of how Witchers act in The Witcher, I have a few bestiaries on monsters and several tools that could be useful at defeating various monsters. She also knows how to treat and dress wounds and in general care for the sick a bit, and has several medical supplies.

My magic comes specifically from my "taint" which appears to be from Fenrir, I don't go around making this knowledge known but in general I fight by using tools or giving into Fenrir's destruction lust. I don't know if the Norse have a "werewolf" but it's basically like that.

My mom's an English teacher and I asked her if I said thing and this with any difference in the 'th' and I simply do not. The and they i say as my 'toothy v' th, but this and thing i say both with the 'windy' th. (Yes, these are terms to help explain it to a child, it's a habit, I work with kids >.>)

I have to place my tongue further forward to duplicate the rougher sound on this.

yeah but does the sound come from the throat on both? this has me use my throat, i can feel the vibration, while thing does not.


Female Human 4 (Mageknight/Shifter) | HP 56/56 | AC 20 13 17 | CMB +9 CMD 21 | (+1 to saves vs magic) F+7 R+7 W+7 | INIT +4 | PERC +11

yes both this and thing use the 2nd ;-;, it's all airy and sounds more like blowing than vibration.

to be clear, we barely say the th parts of this and thing, they almost sound like hiss and -ing. I don't know about canadian, but definitely in California we shorten a lot of words down and slurr them comapred to other areas.

like I said, I can hear the difference if I slow down and say it slowly but it feels like a forced sound from the transition from the TH to the S sound.

pre-post edit, I see it now, this uses vocals but thing does not. I noticed it from the ing not really using my throat for the TH(I didn't feel the vibration), yeah, i get it now. it probably just sounds the same because of how we mostly skip that part of the word. XD

bleh, my mouth doesn't like saying Eindrið with that kind of TH it feels forced.

It's actually funny about that, because British english call tanks Armour, as in armor, I thought that's what tanks were called for the longest time. spelled slightly differently from armor for some reason. but it was just british slang.

also, i find it funny a bit that teeth uses less teeth

@Asta: In American English, "this" and "thing" start with ENTIRELY different sounds (one is an unvoiced dental fricative, this other is voiced). There's a term in phonotactics that I can't remember, but it states that phonemes with different distributions often seem identical to native speakers who aren't familiar with a language that differentiates them.

If you want some examples, though, Wikipedia points out
thy vs. thigh, either vs. ether, and teeth vs. teethe.

that's what i'm saying though, in here on the west coast they're pronounced with the same syllable. :/ at least my tongue and air flow in my mouth appear to be exactly the same.

I can see the difference best with teeth and teethe, but they both feel like they use teethe's to me.

After, doing them slowly I kinda see what you mean though, after reading up on "unvoiced dental fricative" you mean one uses the teeth more and the other is mostly wind. there is a difference but we still kinda use our teeth i think on thing. :P

*i'm enjoying this conversation btw.

...hmm, wacky, I've never heard that particular accent before.

I'm talking about West Coast American and english 'th', and yes, i've had more than a few talks with people about how we've simplified a lot of word pronunciations. both start with the syllable 'thi' 'this' simply ending with 'ss', with more of an emphasis on that syllable. Same for 'Thing', 'thi-ing' with more of an emphasis on the 2nd syllable.

west coast is way different than most other english, mainly we seem to shorten and simplify almost any word we get our hands on.

:P

ð is definitely the precursor for the english 'th' though, if you're talking about norwegian or swedish on me.

Err... sort of? "þ" is a "th" sound as in "thing" (which is also the Norse word for "parliament"). "ð" is "th" as in "this," and thus could be also read as a "d," depending on accent.

to be clear, at least where I am from, this and thing both have the same starting sound. :P

for anyone not particularly aware of old norse, ð is basically a TH sound in english, and you can read it as such.

but yeah some of these names will take a bit. my surname btw basically is "daughter of no one"

Reporting for a trip into song and verse.

question though, Neve, uses 2 pools for spellpoints and combined them. Should I do the same?

so this saturday then? feels like I first found out about all this so long ago.

I forgot we were supposed to post an intended mythic path... There are several that could work for Fell, and I'd probably at least partially base the choice on what the rest of the party was picking... Champion or guardian would be most natural but (without actually checking to make sure) I think trickster or maybe even marshal could work too.

wait what? archmage i guess so long as stuff works with SoP


never did mythic so I'm keeping it a surprise until i get picked, (if that even happens :P)
