warriors, especially if I'm right about them using cavalry (cervilry?).<
I noticed that the Pralori are actually Elk Hsunchen, while the more eastern Damali are Deer. Now an elk could make a fine mount or chariot animal, but where do Hsunchen draw the line? In the Genertelan Players Book is says never "bind beasts to work like a slave." The example is a Bear Hsunchen and bears can be riden or can pull a cart/sled/chariot/etc. I can see three combat styles for Large Animal Hsunchen:
Now here's why I think Deer Hsunchen should use chariots; Deer shed their antlers each year, which would make the tribe vulnerable to attack, but the antlers can be mounted on chariots, which can be made totally from available material. (I bet the Baron has a really swell looking chariot, btw, with lots of nifty enchantments woven into its all mooseparts chasis. <g>) I expect the whole idea to be massively Greg'd, but the image of rampaging, spikey, Elk chariotry sounds MGF to me.
Phillip (Letter of Marque) Hibbs asked about Privateers:
I'm sure that every nation, citystate or port from Loskalm right round to Corflu has privately owned warships that operate with someone's blessing. The ones based out of YOUR port are privateers...it's those OTHER bastards who are the pirates. =) I would think that the two warships and three transports that carried the Lunar forces from Corflu to Karse in 1619 were hired ships, but from where? Maybe our friends in Khorst.
"I find it amusing that while visitors to the Casino in God Forgot pay a princely sum for lobster, the indentured help (many of whom are former patrons, I might add) have it written into their contracts that they may not be served lobster more than twice a week, it being so common."
