Yori o Ram's page

He nibbles the second sandwich contentedly.

PF #1659 - Howdy. :)

Yori returns from assisting a guest (and summoning a healer) just in time to see the arrival of the young Lord Blackcairn. After watching the elegance with which the lordling acts, he manages to catch his eye, then bows with approval.

Howdy right back at you. PF #1728

My faction symbol only shows up when i use the Society alias, not when i use my name or other aliases. (aliai?)

Sweet! I love that blade. I wonder if Museum Replicas has one. Hmm.

Edit: Yep. (I'd linky, but I'm not good with technology not made of wood.)

Now, now, Brother Trey, their secret handshakes are a valuable part of their ancient and primitive heritage. We must allow them to offer obeisance to their elderly traditions and weak gods, lest we disturb a valuable example of obsolete culture.

I was thinking there was a bit of the Byzantine in there, too.

Both analogues don't bode well for Taldor's chances of reacquiring their old position. ;)

EDIT P.S.
Maybe there is also a bit of ancient Greece in it - a lot of squabbling, tendencies of hedonism (at least in the later upper class) and such a rich heritage its descendants are still feeding on...
Taldor is definitely an interesting choice.

I got the feel of a mix of England and Renasaince Italy, but maybe that's my wishful thinking. Sort of 'In the Name of the Queen' crossed with a nice juicy vendetta. With showy Nobles to garner attention and the Mafia/Scarlet Pimpernel doing the work. Like White Feathers and Black Hand.
