[QUOTE="ShaggySpellsword, post: 1849482, member: 17626"] Systar, taking in the stories and the subsequent discussions with great intrest decides to join in. [COLOR=Orange]'Since we have delved into the realm of the wildly speculative, I have an idea to add to the mix. In the rare times of war amongst my people, if ever a truly legendary warrior was taken alive in battle, he would be given an honor guard to escort him to a secure location and hold him there until his loyalties could be swayed, or his ransom paid. The esteem of a truly legendary warrior could be counted by the numbers of guards assigned unto him.
