[QUOTE="treex, post: 5907214, member: 84680"] DAMNIT I LOST MY POOOOOST. Too long to type it all over, uguuh...I was saying (sigh, here I go again) Sabynha's background of being a gypsy: there are genuine gypsies and then there are conners and liars and thieves. I suppose it's hard for her and I can relate to that. It also shares a striking similarity with the main character from Kingkiller Chronicles (strongly recommend it, google The Name of the Wind and download a .pdf) who comes from a nomadic traveling troupe called the Edema Ruh. Most roam the country in wagons, designed specifically for constant life on the road + camping when entertaining, like a circus. [sblock=More if you're interested]Many Ruh troupes, while never settling in one court, will have a wealthy patron who allows them to use his name and colors. In exchange for his patronage, the patron will commonly expect the troupe to entertain in his or her court a portion of the year, and to conduct themselves in a manner that will reflect well upon the patron's reputation. A patronage is seen as a mutually beneficial arrangement, as the patron gains reputation as a tasteful and artistic individual, in addition to having entertainment at his or her disposal, while the troupe gains financial support and the patron's reputation to help them overcome suspicion in towns through which they travel. There's an event in the later books where the main character meets a bunch of swindlers/bandits/plunderers/thieves/rapists (the whole works basically) who're travelling under the guise of the Edema Ruh. They killed the previous owners and took their wagons, using some documents and cheap tricks to lower the guard of a town or some such, then stow away in the middle of the night with some, ahem, booty. The interaction was just intense, and there was so much flavor to the lore. If Nemesis is interested I could either relay the rest or he (she?) can go read it him/herself.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
