*Tall and with mismatched eyes, I never beheld a man more stately nor more beautiful than Count Fabian von Gernot. Even when threatening, he carried an air of calm and kindness. Also he and I totally HAD before I left. And he is just as great in bed as he is with the sword. And if you didn't know, he is the greatest swordsman in the world.*

- An abridged and censored version of Atmos Slibard's "too much information" account of Count Fabian in his epic *The Prisoner of Lenca.*

*I say old sport, do me a favour and smoke me a herring and I'll see you for brunch.*

- Fabian's most famous quip from the book during his duel with Atmos.

Arguably the greatest living swordmaster in the World, Count Fabian von Gernot is a complex and enigmatic figure. Technically a Paladin of the Order of the Clove, he is notoriously unpredictable while also being incredibly honorable and just. He is a man who hold no grudges yet will not allow a slight to his honour pass. Currently leading the military wing of the Lencan Resistance Front.
The Forest of Westmorland

> *Back water, cold and clear, will never clear your wounds,*

> *There is none but the Witch of the Westmorland who can make you hale and sound.*

>

##### - A verse from the popular Northern Folk Song, "The Witch of the Westmorland".

> *Stupid wood people. Wouldn't let me into their fancy forest. Can't imagine why.*
>

###### - Atmos Slibard, furious over his rejection from lecturing in the Forest due to a premonition that his arrival would bring disaster on all in the woods.

Deep within the centre of the North, in the state of Craobhaile, lies the mysterious Westmorland (pronounced West-meir) forest, an enchanted woods often seen as the living embodiment of the old fairy stories of yore. Sometimes called the Forbidden Forest, but this is mostly done to scare off poachers and those who wish to bring harm to the woods.

It is a widely seen as the most beautiful forest in the world, filled with treants, centaurs, unicorns, Northern Dryads, magical creatures, and above all- the fey folk. All live in the forest under the material protection of four cities, Pentrefdail Cudd, Dinas Goedwig, Trefblodau, and Cathforiar, and under the divine protection of the god Cernunnos, the Fey Queen Orania, and the hooded hero Hern the Hunter (a role that is passed down from one great hero to another). The forest is inhabited primarily by small villages of humans, dwarves, orcs, and wood elves in addition to its fantastical inhabitants. The forest is sprawling and one that a person can easily get lost in without proper assistance (and with some of the less pleasant fey folk, this is often intentional). It exudes magical energy and is often seen as a major site for the gods to mingle in the physical world. Its seasons are random and unnatural, based firmly on the whims of its inhabitants. The plants and ecology of the forest is also unique due to all the magical energy as they are often alive (albeit not sentient like treants) and move about with a will of their own.

The forest is most famous for its magic-using inhabitants, the witches of Westmorland. These fey-touched beings have powers unheard of to even the most skilled magic users, being regarded as the greatest healers and summoners in the world. They include elves, centaurs, humans, and even dwarves. They are mysterious, capricious at times, vague, but ultimately good and well-meaning people who wish to help people. In the past, people sought them for aid and help. Now, many come to learn from them, thanks to establishment of a college of magic. Unlike most colleges of magic and study, this is in appearance one of the smallest and most spread out, but also often spreads into the realm of the fey. While it is largely isolated from politics and wars of the south, the witches and fey have been noticing bizarre cosmological phenomenon across the forest and have been struggling to comprehend it. They are currently assembling a council to determine what is to be done.

Until his death this was the primary seat of Count Bertholt von Hapsberg. After his death in the alpha the Chateau and its grounds were gifted to Bertholt's adopted son Lucentio, however in the beta it is currently owned by the count's eldest son Chauncey Hapsberg.

Winterwood

## History

Winterwood is one of many cities within the Northern Coalition. It was settled many years ago initially by the Silversprout family, who still manage the city to this day under a meritocracy. It was called Winterwood not only for the heavy snowfall found in the North, but also for the large grove of silver birch that grow nearby. It is situated close to one of the north-western mountain ranges, near a large forest. There is a fresh-water lake nearby populated with differing species of fish.

There is no train station alongside Winterwood, and one must walk from the station at Hygyeong through the forest path. Originally settled as a safe haven for smaller races, particularly halflings, along with gnomes, goblins, and dwarves, it has since expanded to include taller races into their fold. While halflings still make up the majority of the population, it is a relatively mixed city, with a city guard of 300 -- led by the orc Mika.

## City Guard

Winterwood boasts a 300 strong city guard, upped recently due to roaming bands of Dixie slavers rumoured to be appearing in the Northern Coalition as of late, as well as due to the current cold war with The Empire. While the guard hosts 300 members, 200 of them are made up by halflings and other small races, with the remaining 100 being a mix of Orcs and Humans.

### Captain

Mika is the current captain of the guard, having held the position for going on 12 years. She is a strong, fairly tall orc, and is well loved by both members of the guard and the citizens of Winterwood.
Kolt

The Kolt in MiniDayz2 is based on the ubiquitous Colt 1911. It holds the same seven .45 ACP as its real counterpart.

Mahin Setare Dana

*Imagine, if you will, a society governed not by monarchs but by the desire for common good?*

- The opening lines of her highly controversial text *Hao de Tudi* (*The Good Land*), published anonymously.

*Why buy clothing when I can buy books?*

- Her quip when asked why her clothing always seemed so ragged.

In the annals of the history of Dongxi Lu, few figures will likely inspire as much fascination and debate as Mahin Dana, Grand Secretariat of the Imperial Household, regarded by many as one of the most inspired philosophers and lawyers of her time. A teacher of Jiangwu Bao and her sponsor during her studies at the Legal School, Mahin Dana also known as Haoxin has long been an advocate of equality for all races in the Celestial Empire both based within reason and faith. She is also one of the leading theologians, often using satire to express her beliefs. It surprises many that she works so closely with the notoriously conservative Jun Mi Emperor, but he values her honesty as an advisor and sees her openness of thought as a sign that she harbours no treachery. Currently also a member of the Gang of Eight, she often acts as a liaison between them and the Imperial Court.
The Imperial Pizza Express

The **Imperial Pizza Express** is a small pizza parlour found near the border of the Empire and Dongxi Lu. Constructed out of red bricks and hosting up to 10 wood-fired ovens, the Imperial Pizza Express is considered a symbol of tenuous diplomacy between the two large imperial powers, as pizza is considered a universal constant and favoured food among all peoples on this nation. It is said that its special weed-and-cheese pizza is considered one of the most delightful dishes on the planet.

## The Pan-Pizzaopticon

The Imperial Pizza Express is in fact one building - and the last remaining building standing - of the **Pan-Pizzaopticon**, what was once a continent-spanning surveillance spy network system based around different Pizza Express franchises. It is thought that the Pan-Pizzaopticon had in fact existed before the consolidation of the two large empires, but secret infiltrations by the Empire have destroyed much of the network, leaving only one Pizza Express staffed by the remaining Pizzaopticon Guards who deftly and secretly fight off Imperial infiltration through the power of good pizza.

The allegiances of the Pizza Express are currently unknown.

Solo Para Siempre

Ella está en la primera fila. Hermosa, cabello negro, blusa de color
rosa, botas hasta la rodilla y una chamarra que dice “Maldita juventud”.
 Está concentrada en el espectáculo, está perdida en la presentación.
Estoy dejando el alma y el corazón en la guitarra, esperando que eso
tenga algún efecto sobre ella. Ella mueve la cabeza al ritmo de los
acordes. El vocalista tiene la atención de la multitud, ellos gritan su
nombre, pero yo tengo su atención y es todo lo que quiero, y necesito.

—Tocas muy bien.— Me dice. No tengo más elección que enamorarme de aquellos ojos castaños.

—Gracias.— Respondo con decisión.

—¿Vas a… volver a tu apartamento o algo por el estilo?— Pregunta.

—Claro.

Cariño, pasión y amor. Sentimientos que había reprimido durante
años. No aguanto más. Después, me siento débil. Y le pido disculpas.

En esta ocasión, él se manifiesta en la forma de un gánster de
1920. Ríe mientras las lágrimas de ella descienden por su rostro como un
 río mientras la arrastra al infierno. Hubiera deseado ser lo
suficientemente fuerte como para contarle lo que iba a suceder. Desearía
 haberle contado que vendí algo peor que mi alma al Diablo. Vendí a
todos aquellos a los que amo.
DJ Khaled

- His promotion for himself.

*WHOOPS! I dropped my MONSTER CONDOMS that I use for my MAGNUM DONG.*

- His typical attempt at flirting, often involving showing off a bag of gold.

An unscrupulous dwarven alleged doctor and drug dealer whom the Alpha Heroes once hired to help get the drugs they needed to murder Count von Hapseberg. Later when testifying against the Alpha Heroes in court, they used magic to change his answer and get him arrested for perjury. Now waiting out his prison sentence, he plots his revenge against the Alpha Heroes for their betrayal.

*Be ready for a proper Harjordian welcome my friends. CHISWICK, FRESH BULLS!!*

- His typical personal invitation to people to come stay with him for the night.

*I didn't become king just to sit on my ass and twiddle my balls. It is my duty as king to be the symbol to everyone and love everyone in my kingdom. A ruler has no friends? Look around! A ruler is the friend of all the people! One who does not connect with the people and acts as a distant sort ruling behind closed doors is nothing more than a storming tyrant and no true ruler!*

- His philosophy of rule.

The Lionhearted King of the North, Agmundr Borijov is the first even human king of the wealthy state of Harjord (traditionally Dwarves have been the kings of this realm. His own outrageously massive height, even compared to the rest of his family, makes him stand out even more). He is regarded as one of the kindest and most generous rulers ever to live, his heart matched only by his courage. Through his rule, he has reformed the main army of Harjord into an elite and highly disciplined host called the Harjordi Felagar who are all deeply loyal to each other and to their king (the closeness of the king and his army has caused many of his fellows on the Council of Twenty to question his loyalty to the North. He typically responds to them by shouting and singing loudly). He is known for his hands-on approach to ruling, interacting with his subjects and hearing their stories and learning of their lives. This has led to him becoming highly beloved by his people, as he truly wishes to better their lives and make Harjord a state which cares for everyone. He and his best friend Mairwen Edurne of Varagot have formed what can only be described as a two-person adventuring party (one frequently joined by their friends and older children), who travel the North and the Northern-Imperial Border helping others and doing good.
Kalladan

*Consider this- a system which combines the best aspects of all three known systems of government. A state simultaneously run by a king-like figure, a senate of those chosen by the people, and assemblies of the commons. Through this, reform, reason and progress will be the champions and a daily reality rather than ideals. We must push forward till we reach the day when our dreams become so normal and real we take them for granted.*

- Consul Valerian Calgar in his diaries on his ideal state.
The Guardians of the Underdark

*And they don't stop coming. And they don't stop coming. And they don't stop coming.*

-Atmos Slibard, favourite chew toy of the Guardians.

*Now is the Hour! Awaken My Masters!*

- The Chant of the Followers of the Guardians.

Little is known, if anything, about these shadowy figures who supposedly rule the Underdark and it's many denizens. All that is known is that they existed for longer than the Empire and inspire fear and awe in all those who know of them. Those who have heard the names Campo, DeLisle, Coleman, and Hartwell shiver in fear.

22,000 Years Ago, they first emerged and attempted to conquer the world. However, 12,000 years following their emergence, thanks to the gallant efforts of a group known as The Ancient Heroes (Starkey, Oasis, Corbyn, Bastille, and Brunhildr,) they were defeated and sealed within the Underdark. However, following Bastille's madness and betrayal of the original group and the weakening of the Fifth Seal, they have been rebuilding their power.

The Underdark is a place known for it's danger and unknowableness, and yet through their power they have subdued and forged a mighty kingdom out of the great groups. Kuoa-toa, Drow (only 1/3 of the total Drow population, as the rest defected after the First Underdark Invasion), Druegar, Orogs, Derro, Quaggoth, and even the mighty Illithids, all bow before the might of the Guardians and their lieutenants, the Bringers of Despair. dividedThey attempted to get Lolth on their side, but when she refused, they slew her and sealed away her divine essence.

The Bringers of Despair are the greatest generals and officers of the Underdark, divided into two groups. There are the Four Beatle Generals (Preston, Harrison, McCartney, and Lennon), who act as field commanders for their vast armies. And there are the Four Talking Heads (Byrne, Franz, Weymouth, and Jeremiah), four powerful sorcerors and warlocks who act as emissaries, advisors, strategists and magical support for the Guardians.

What they plan for the outer world is unknown, but all that is known is that it is probably not very very good.

Do You Hear the Drums

An old Orcish folk song dated back to approximately 250 EY in the Imperial Calendar.

## Significance

The song references a couple fugitives, likely Miriam of Lydia and her companion hiding from marching parties, likely the Orestrian Imperial forces they are described escaping in myth. In modern day, the song is used in solemn remembrance of an Orc's place in this world, both in trying to find one's way home, and in hiding from those who would do them ill will - especially common among Orcs misplaced by the Orestrian Empire.

## Lyrics

*Do you hear the drums go:*

*Dum da dum dum, dum dum*

*Do you hear the drums go:*

*Dum da dum dum, dum dum*

.

*Out from the forests*

*Ringing strong and true*

*They call out looking, searching for you*

.

*Do you hear the drums go:*

*Dum da dum dum, dum dum*

*Do you hear the drums go:*

*Dum da dum dum, dum dum*

*Over the mountains*

*Over the sea,*

*They ring out, calling, looking for me*

*Throughout history, I have discovered that armies are almost always a tool for violence, destruction, and the creation of tyrants. One could say it is in their very nature. As they grow larger and stronger, they begin to believe that only they know the truth. They know how to fix the world, and that the politicians are all fools. I believe this mode of thought is wrong. While history has shown few, if any, models of armies who have truly fought for a greater good and for the benefit of the people, I hope to change that provide future historians more favourable examples. And I believe that this is the place to do so.*

General Belisaria talking to Consul Calgar and the Freedom Council as to her motives for working with them.

*The nation that neglects social inequality, mischievously increases military budgets, and then uses its power internally to suppress the citizens on the pretext of invasion by an external enemy is on the road to extinction.*

- General Belisaria's Resignation Speech to General Brassidas and Empress Euthane.

*Giving your life for your country is fine and all, but you can only drink good tea and wine when you are alive. So let's not die and go home to drink some tea!*

-A typical battle speech from General Wenya

One of the rising stars of the Imperial Army and one of the leading reformers in the Empire. During Euthane's life, Wenya was regarded with suspicion due to her idealism and her dedication to helping the people, as well as her then unheard of decision to give clemency to her defeated opponents and befriending them. Currently, she is working with Consul Calgar and his state of Kalladan as it seeks to carve out it's independent state away from the Empire.
Lucenmos

Lucenmos is the romantic/friendship pairing of Lucentio Hapsberg and Atmos Slibard (**Lucen/**tio and At/**mos**). Its rival ships include Scaremos, Hildorfmos, and Scareberg. Lucenmos shippers are easily the most insufferable of all Contested Legacy shippers.

The pairing is generally considered very unlikely to go on any further than a friendship in the show, mainly because the last time a Contested Legacy ship gained lots of shippers, the High Emperor BLAMMed all those responsible, turing them into a shower of gore. The one exception to this was during a panel in 2017 where it was revealed that Mosmos (Atmos Slibard and Atmos Slibard/Beta) is a canon ship.

**This article is *strictly* to discuss the player/player relationship, NOT the romantic pairing. Doing so makes one eligible for INSTANT termination, demotion to D-class, or demotion to Double D-class (not as sexy as it sounds, believe me).**

Lucenmos shippers are usually the most vocal haters of Smithmessitude pairings.
The Drow

*Had it not been for the Abban Colnbluth we would have surely perished back in those days following the Great Schism. And so we must remember the following- Protect the stranger and the lost, for you were once the same. Shelter and care for those in need, for it is by the Abban Colnbluth's kindness that we live. And finally, love and cherish the world with all your heart, for this is the only place for us.*

- *The Book of Quarvalsharess,* Grand Matriarch Alystin T'orgh.

One of the most fascinating and complex races in the World, the Drow (or Dark Elves or Darthiir as they call themselves) have had a long and traumatic history. Originally, they were one of many groups to live in the Underdark and had a complex, decadent society based around power struggles and control in the name of their great goddess Lolth. But then one day, 20,000 years ago, Lolth went silent and ceased interacting with the Drow. This threw the Drow into chaos and during that chaos the Great Schism occurred. Over two thirds of the total Drow population fled to the surface following this conflict. Upon their arrival, they were shunned and hounded due to their appearance and forced to be nomads. That is until they came across the Dwarves. Seeing the suffering of the Drow, the Dwarves welcomed them into their halls and gave them a place to stay and a place to settle.

Over time, the Drow became more and more immersed in Dwarven society and culture, effectively being honorary Dwarves, while still maintaining and adapting elements of their own tradition to fit their new lands. In particular, the Drow remain a matriarchal society, and turn to a council of high elders and priestesses to lead them. With Lolth's disappearance, the Drow were visited by her previously imprisoned and enslaved younger sister Quarvalsharess, a kind-hearted god of wisdom, strategy, and community, and have since been adopted as her chosen people. The Drow values are largely based around the love and care for the community, as well as reaching out to help as many as possible. In the Northern Union, the Drow are regarded as some of the most welcoming and caring people in the world, constantly bringing in Imperial refugees and leading abolitionist movements such as the Freedom Road.

However in recent years, several high elders have reported horrific nightmares of a strange place filled with bizarre and cruel looking architecture. They have written missives to many of the leaders of the North warning them to prepare for the "Enemy from Below" but these have been largely ignored (save by King Agmundr Borijov of Harjord, Queen Mairwen Edrune of Varagot, Prince Melchior von Bentheim of Zeitward, and Taoiseach Rhiannon Canar of Craobhaile).
Ragu

*YOU NEED RAGU!! BECAUSE GROWIN' UPS TOUGH!*

*RAGU! YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH!*

*A LONG DAY OF LIFE CALLS FOR DIXIE'S FAVOURITE PASTA SAUCE!*

- A traditional Dixon song

"*GET COOKING ATMOS!" " \*sobs\* LOST IN THE SAUCE \*sobs\*"*

- A typical interaction between Lucentio and Atmos

This legendary culinary classic from Dixie is considered one of the greatest culinary inventions ever. The EXTRA THICK sauce is so thick it is easy to get lost in its thickness.

In recent years, the sauce has been appropriated by Lucentio Hapseberg and Atmos Slibard as the official sauce of the Church of the Holy Dandy, and is served at any of their conventions by a very Lost in the Sauce Atmos. It's restorative properties are so great that they are even said to cure vampirism! Truly a modren marvel of the kitchen.
The Ancient Heroes

An ancient group of adventurers who sealed The Guardians of the Underdark inside, well, The Underdark using 5 seals that can only be opened through intense bloodshed or deliberate magical means. Consequently they have been cursed.

They consist of Starkey, Oasis, Corbyn, Bastille and Brunhildr.

It is believed that Bastille was the one to betray them all. Their fates were cursed- Starkey's soul and life was tied to the boat he so lovingly steered. Brunhildr was transformed into a mighty mare, doomed to wander the earth till she found a True Hero. Oasis was murdered and not only flung into his pyramid, but the pyramid was cursed to never truly exist in the physical world, thus cutting him off from his beloved Kalik. Corbyn suffered a similar fate. Bastille, overcome with guilt, tried to hang himself. No one knows what became of him.

*In war, be courteous. In peace, be cautious.*

- Governor Calgar.

*Blood is just a fluid that runs through the veins. It is does not determine one's worth, character or abilities, only their actions and the actualization of their values can do that.*

- Governor Calgar on human nature.

Governor of the northern region of Kalladan, Valerian Calgar is the wildcard of the Empire. Although he has remained mostly loyal to the Empire, he refuses to follow any laws or edicts that he considers to be unjust or needlessly cruel. As a result, Kalladan is the freest and most liberal province of the whole Empire, helped in large part by his personal non-aggression pact with the Northern Coalition and Dongxi Lu. This is enforced by Kalladan's incredible technology (as Calgar is an alchemist and has a great fondness for technology and science) and strong legions, loyal to him and the people of Kalladan above all else. In recent years, Calgar has expanded his influence beyond Kalladan, forging a secret alliance with five neighbouring likeminded governors, as well as the beloved general Belisaria Wenya and her IV Army, to break away from the empire and create their own independent state. Calgar is currently using the Imperial Civil War to further his own agenda, allying himself with the North, the Rebellion (whom he is a major weapon supplier for) and Princess Shiryan's faction, all in the hopes to gain enough clout and support to fully break away from the empire and fulfill his dreams of a free state in which the people can be truly free.

*In this world, what keeps people alive? What keeps people motivated? Fear of power. A true ruler must be one who is unafraid to use the whole weight of their power to enforce the good onto the people. When people have the constant fear of a supreme ruler over them, they will do anything for the sake of not dying. Including give up their own freedom. People are stupid and cowardly. Over and over, history teaches us the same lesson: Might. Makes. Right.*

Apiti-Caprale

*You who characterize us as greedy do not understand why we need money to survive. It is what keeps us afloat. By making money, we help all.*

- Governor-General Oselle Bibilus of Apiti-Caprale

The City of Sweet Water and Music, One of the most important cities and economic centres of the Orestian Empire is a fascinating example of growth in Imperial Cities. Originally the separate cities of Apiti and Caprale, these two merchant cities were built opposite of one another on a vast lake and were frequent trading partners. As trade grew, so did the cities, though not in the outwards direction. Instead, the cities grew outwards onto the lake itself, building up large support structures, canals, causeways, and bridges to aid the ever-growing lake towns. Then, 400 years ago, the two finally met at the centre of the lake and formally merged as one. Because of it's peculiar build, the city walls only exist on the land and are generally smaller. The real defense of the city comes from it's vast merchant fleet of over 3,000 ships that are both river and sea-ready. It is the largest of the Southern Jewels, a league of merchant cities that dot the southern parts of the Empire. Any merchant vessel who wishes to enter the Imperial Heartland must be prepared to pass through this city to do so, and pay a tariff to do so.

The city's government is more or less an oligarchy. The de jure ruler of the city is the Governor-General, appointed by the Emperor (currently ruled by Oselle Bibilus, the third official Governor-General of the twin city). The Governor-General is the official judge and military commander of the city, with the right of veto and conscription. In fact, the main power lies in the Assembly of Worthies and the Triarchy, a large assembly of guild masters, priests, merchant captains, and nobles who elect three leaders (the Triarchy) to represent them.

The city also has one of the most high tech sewage systems in the world, a series of sand bars and canals used to filter the water through the pumps to allow for an abundance of clean water. These are pumps are also lined with sugar to make the water sweet as well as pure.

The city is known for being one of the more tolerant cities in the Empire and is open to immigration and travellers from across the world, making it also one of the most multicultural cities. There is a deep sense of pride amongst the people about this multiculturalism, though at the end of the day it is still dominated and controlled by The Empire and follows many of it's rules. In addition, while all people are hypothetically equal under Apiti-Capralian law, some are more equal than others and of those some even fewer are truly equal. The homes of the merchants and wealthiest are almost like fortresses that rise above the rest.

The city is also a city of art and culture, with a vibrant theatre and musical history and scene. Magic and technology are used to broadcast music and news around the city at a near constant basis.

The Steel Maiden

> "My god is with you, but you may not be with my god."
>
>

The Steel Maiden (birth name unknown) is the self declared prophetess of Kord, and one of the primary protagonists of the Contested Legacy/Lineage beta campaign. She is an orc of about 30 years of age (45ish human years) and a blinded cleric of the god Kord, and one of his favoured. Formerly an enslaved show fighter in a gladiatorial arena owned by Count Bertholt von Hapsburg, she lost her eyesight in a pit fight with a young chimera; but ultimately won the fight and her freedom with the holy intervention of the god Kord. As of yet, The Steel Maiden has not appeared in the alpha campaign.

Big grey/green woman with dark hair and lots of scars. Buff. Far from beautiful by human standards. Wears full plate armor, cuts her own hair.

## Personality

Lots of guilt, some sarcasm, no memory and good intention. Personal justice.

## History

play the video player (I'll learn you one day)

The Steel Maiden's memory is lacking and filled with gaps where even she doesn't know what happened. These empty spaces haunt her, but there is also bits and pieces that she hides, it feels impossible for someone to forget their own name, even if they forget where they are from.

Originally from Pale-Reach, The Steel Maiden was one of many orcs to be taken during the slave raids in the north approximately 17 years ago, which would mean she was about 13 (16ish human years) when she began to fight, and 20 (28ish human years) upon release. It is implied she regrets missing out on the 'prime' years of her lifetime.

## Speculation

* It is likely that 'The Steel Maiden' was a name assigned to her as her fighting ability began to draw in spectators
* The Steel Maiden's interactions with male characters appear to imply that she is not romantically and likely not sexually interested in men at all.
* Hints from Starkey seem to imply that The Steel Maiden's true name is 'Hagar'.
* A buddy of mine saw Kord take his shirt off in the shower. They said that Kord had an 8 pack. That he was shredded.
* Though the Steel Maiden is taller than everyone, it is implied she is shorter than the Dryads of Dixie, which actually would give her a finite height of approximately 7 feet.
* Despite being offered better weaponry, The Steel Maiden insists on using her greataxe, which implies a sentimental connection.
* The Steel Maiden named her rat 'Abel' after her neighbour. It is implied she had a more annoying neighbour named 'Cain' who wasn't worthy to have a rat named after him.
	+ further developments have revealed this neighbour to be Cain of Isaac, a blacksmith in Pale-Reach, which would make the other Abel of Isaac.

*We must imagine Sisyphus happy.*

- Albert Camus, *The Myth of Sisyphus*

*Today's themes: Themes. What good are they.*

*- A Bit of Fry and Laurie*

In spite of being a darkly comedic story, many players of the Contested Legacy are often surprised by the deep and introspective themes and ideas it raises on society and nature. Here are just a sample of those themes.

* What is justice?
* The conflict and contrast between rural life and urban life, and the different values placed in both cultures.
* The nature of freedom
* Who is right to rule and what gives a person power?
* What form of government is best for society?
* What are the natures of fate and free will in a world in which gods exist?
* What makes a family, blood or experience?
* What does it mean to be a person and be alive?
* Conflicting loyalty between family and morality
* How do you make a multicultural society function?
* What is the significance of being alive in a world where there exists powers beyond one's comprehension or control?
* Do the ends justify the means?
