Hello,
I enjoy reading Wesley Quadros' Gwandor Saga series on web and other
orlanthi materials in Enclosure #1,#2, Tales #18, and Ye Book of
Tentacles #2 recently, but has some questions about orlanthi cultural
keywords and others.
- What accurately do these words mean?
- weregild
- housecarl (or huscarl?)
- weaponthane
- fyrd
- feud
- kinstrife
- clan (or tribal) champion
- godi
- god-talker
- law-speaker
- What are difference between "tula" and "stead"?
- Is Elmal still worshipped among Sartarite? Yelm is not recognized as
"the Sun"?
- Can I call worshiper of Elmal as "Elmalion"?
- How orlanthi live in the stead? How many families does belong to a
stead? How often weponthane patrol visit? How they farmers defend
themselves from dangers of wilderness (chaos/bandit/raid)?
- Keeps (Runegate , Jalorar etc.) has owner clan ? or Royal House
kept it?
I appreciate any other teaching about customs of storm barbarians.
Regards.
