Rissing

**Rissing** is a village in Nordain just off the Adamant Highway, at the edge of the Hinterlands, south of Genedara and north of the Thaneholds. It is part of the Barony of North Reach.

## Background

In the Dark Ages, Rissing was little more than a trading post that served the fortress of Genedara to the north. In time, the settlers became self-sufficient through mills and farmland. Rissing was also the site of the battle during the second Maudesian invasion of Nordain in which King Arnedrin Kaulden was slain. Nowadays, it is larger, serving Erencliffe, the community of merchants, and surface dwarves near Ondrathum. Its location on the North Road gives it strategic value, so control of Rissing has historically been a matter of contention between the Northern Thaneholds and the North Reach Barony. King Lontan himself stepped in and awarded the town to North Reach in the Fifth Age, which has largely ended the feud, or at least the appearance of it.

Two of the theatrical version's fake trailers, directed by Rodriguez and Eisener, later became the basis for three feature films: *Machete*, *Hobo with a Shotgun*, and *Machete Kills*.

In the Bleak Midwinter

***In the Bleak Midwinter*** is a 1995 British romantic comedy film written and directed by Kenneth Branagh.

In an attempt to beat his depression, Joe volunteers to help try to save his sister's local church from land developers for the community by putting on a Christmas production of *Hamlet*, somewhat against the advice of his agent Margaretta (Joan Collins). As the cast he assembles are still available even at Christmas and are prepared to do it on a 'profit sharing' basis (that is, they may not get paid anything), he cannot expect – and does not get – the cream of the cream. But although they all bring their own problems and foibles along, something bigger starts to emerge in the perhaps aptly named village of Hope. This film encapsulates the hilarious and heartbreaking struggle of actor versus situation versus life, and often versus each other. It was shot in black and white for artistic effect.
