Also, next week I will write for Wulfric and/or Wilheard, reveal what became of Wulfric's thoughts to go see Faramund and probably have them return from a hunting trip or something like that to Eodwine's homecoming - and also hopefully write a little something for Cnebba as what I wrote for Modtryth implied the boys have been up to some mischief again...
Excellent. I am excited about everything above, Lommy. I was curious about the boys, too, but didn't feel like coming up with something. It would be amazing if you did write for them. Is Javan amongst the mischief makers?

I am also impatient to see this co-post that keeps being spoken about, between Elempi, Lhuna, and now you! It is a million pages long by now, or are you all just taking your time about writing it?

I ran out of time while writing my post, but I wanted to get it up... I'm not too clear on how swearing fealty works myself, so if need be I can edit the last few lines of my post if it doesn't make sense in context. Someone who has greater knowledge than me can let me know...

No, it is not long. We've just been busy with other things so not much time has been devoted to writing it. But it's coming.

I got a kick out of this. Durelin, you could really have Coen catch Thornden in his words here if you wanted to....

Actually, "fealty" as such may not be an appropriate concept for the Eorling setting. It automatically means feudal law and relationships. It would be more appropriate to simply say that Eodwine swore an oath of loyalty.

Ack. Not fair to take advantage of dialogue written by a sleep-deprived camp-person.

What's so wrong with what he said, anyway?

Nothing SO wrong. .... it's just not Eodwine's place to be restoring order - that's the eorl's responsibility.

Elempi, do you mind attaching our co-post (with Lommy) before your post for Rowenna?

Let's see if he hears about it... and when? He's busy with the planning right now as the winter is coming / upon them - and they need to do everything they can when they still can: if there is a cold season coming for good they need to be prepared and many a works are still undone. Expect the craftsmen being called to him - well at least Stigend and Garstan - if someone wishes to bring the smiths to a meeting, feel free to say so. I'll try to make up a post on the issue during the weekend and it would be nice to have company with it.

Hopefully there will be no order to restore. Thornden was just sayin' 'what if'. I don't even think we'll have to worry about it. I guess we'll find out when Dury gets back.
