Gall, since my family, at least as far as I can tell from what I think was the original derivation of my surname, seems to have originated on the border region between Saxony and Bohemia (indeed I suspect my middle name is Bohemian in origin) I found this entry to be especially interesting.
Keep up the good work my good man.
Your posts are always fascinating and useful.
Coincidentally, I've been thinking about having the
Basilegate and the
Caerkara undertake some missions in Europe and one of the places I really want them to explore is Bohemia (because of my own ancestral ties). I've also been thinking on matters of
Heirlooms, Legacies, and Inheritances.
So if you know of any practices, or famous incidents involving heirlooms, legacies, or inheritances in Bohemia or the surrounding area, then I'd like to see a write up on it. It wouldn't have to be time-frame specific in relation to Constantinople, just something to give my some new ideas for writing up new adventures, missions, and scenarios. That is if you have the time and know of anything interesting.
I also very much enjoyed the entries on Jan Hus (my kids and I recently finished both a book and film on Wycliffe, mainly about his efforts to translate the Bible into English, and I know of John Huss through his religious reforms), and on Jan Ziska. By the way the type of Mace the statue of Ziska shows him carrying, that is my favorite kind of mace design.
I'm also very much intrigued with the idea of Tabor as a Utopian City. I'm thinking about using this idea for the establishment and development of a new international city on Ghantik which will even include some humans from Avalon and the Isle of Wight.
Anyway, very good post.
Thanks,
Jack.
