[QUOTE="Electric Wizard, post: 5946995, member: 83982"] Any post with a bear cavalry picture is a tough act to follow, but I'll try...:p [B]Hill of Fist and Fang[/B] (Hex 17.21) Connected to Hex 16.16 This shrub-covered hill nominally marks the Duchy's extreme southern frontier. It is the site of an ancient and spectacular ritual that proves the greatest Thringish knights' courage and mettle. Every time the Duke must replace a member the Brothers of the Lion, his elite entourage, he arranges a highly-exclusive tournament. He selects no more than five knights deemed worthiest in the land and brings them to this desolate hilltop. He invokes a long-held pact between Thring and the lion prides of the Devil's Fingers, which summons the land's mightiest lions to the hill in a fortnight. The candidates must muzzle and mount the beast whom they challenge. According to the terms of the pact, they may be armored, but wield no weapons. The knight with the most prowess receives the lion he subdued as well as the coveted Brother of the Lion title. The lion remains loyal to its death. On the other hand, if any lion manages to defeat a candidate, the losing knight must spend the rest of his life among the prides of the Devil's Fingers. The latter happens less often than would be expected. Still, any decent Thringish bard can sing at least a dozen laments over knights doomed to wander with lions. [I]Hooks[/I] -How did the Dukes of Thring make a pact with the lion prides? -What are some effective lion-wrestling techniques? Who teaches them? -Who are some current Brothers of the Lion? Are there, or have there been, Sisters of the Lion? -What famous knights were condemned to a life among the lions? What adventures did they have with the beasts? -How do the lions get along with other mounts? -When did the last death in this long tradition occur? What happened? [/QUOTE]
