Peter is correct on my blatant use of post hoc ergo prompter hoc = reasoning. Unfortunately I was writing from the POV of the 13th-14th = century and I failed to determine the relationship between the early = Esrolite (or would they still be Esrolvuli at that point?) militia and = the trollking militia of the OOO. However, I certainly like Peter's = suggestion that the OOO trained his trollkin in the manner of Esrolian = militia rather than the other way around. Perhaps, the avatar of the = OOO himself should answer this one: Mr. Peterson what is your take on = this?
BTW, I apologize for the lack of structure in my previous postings. = Editing has never been my strongest suit.
Yours truly,
