Shireroth

My regards to the Duke,I send notice of my aquisition of the Baronial Throne of Elwynn from the departing Duchess Mari.- Ardashir Khan OsmaniBaron of Elwynn

Hail, Baron of Elwynn. I hope you don't take ill to the people from the freezing island controlling your huge landmass, your predecessor seemed to have a pet peeve about it..Can't say I can't think of someone better for the job needed to be done, Ardashir. Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus TinenetuwarLet the fates burn!

Just don't eat the yellow snow while lording it over us from this here island

Great...now I've got Ardashir as a direct subordinate...that'll mean I need to hire a food taster, a few squadrons of bodyguards, a guy who makes bullet-proof vests, a body double... "I am a verb" - Buckminster Fuller

I'll get them for you now, your grace. Let's get the Crimson Pages here.Hmmmm, Artakhshatra Hiring Services, "Twenty Years Good Service or We Present Their Flayed Hide in a Dish Along With Full Refund - Mondesians Need Not Apply", seems good. Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus TinenetuwarLet the fates burn!

Oh, Ardy, if you're interested, I've been trying to get everyone here to have their own coat of arms and motto. As a Baron and someone with access to a whole country of people who are good with graphics, you might be good with that.

Excellent suggestion. I even have a motto; PAX IN BELLO. You're all reasonably familiar with latin so I leave it with you to ponder its appropriateness.

In Elwynnese (or Hyperborean, a nobler tongue) with a lion-thingy with a sword rampant and the white orchid of Elwynn puissant? Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus TinenetuwarLet the fates burn!

PAX EST BELLO, LIBERTAS EST SERVITAS, MONDESIANITAS* EST VIRITAS!*I can't remember the Latin for ignorance, so I invented a new idiom.

Ahhhh, 1984, a modern tragedy. Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus TinenetuwarLet the fates burn!

Don't worry, Eriana, it's not your fault you weren't born Hyperborean, with an innate grasp of all four declensions in nouns and a knowledge of all the conjugations of verbs in Latin. Some of us are just gifted like that Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus TinenetuwarLet the fates burn!

Could probably have used the word for "persian" in there, Dave. And yes, I couldn't agree more, but he's our pigdog now. Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus TinenetuwarLet the fates burn!

Quote:an innate grasp of all four declensionsAll FOUR declensions? EH? You never heard of "res, rei, f."?

Can I apply for the position of body double

Leave me alone, those are the only ones I understand! Maybe there are more, but I don't want to know!! Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus TinenetuwarLet the fates burn!
