[QUOTE="HolyMan, post: 5931106, member: 84167"] Good points jkason - I'll try and address them to clear up my thinking... They shave because before they were not allowed to do so. I figure as a people first their leaders than others started to shave off "the old ways" to show they were slaves no more. Years (centuries??) later it became a little warped as things tend to do and they believed if they were bearded they could once more be enslaved. And leaving room for things like rituals (when do they shave? Does some shave them or do they do it themselves), rites of manhood, and other things for people to add that would be different from clan to clan. Also your right, no barbers or easy way to go about it and yet they still go through with shaving everyday shows there determination to stay free. Perhaps in other clans it adds to their pride/willfulness or leads them to be wary of strangers with facial hair. Just trying to add something different and leave it to others to hammer out details as needed. _____________________________________________ I have been of two minds as to why the Landadel men became the Pellmen. First my thinking was that it is what the Goti called them. But the Goti meant green as in newbie or rookie, when it came to how they didn't know much of living in the grasslands or of horses. Of course the Landadel men wouldn't know any of that. Then with the re-write I came to think it is more of what the outside world calls them. And since traders and emissaries and the like would deal more with the Landadel/clan mixed people the Goti would of course not deal much with those outside the clans. Then the Goti would think this name fitting for the reasons above (since they are green when it comes to how to live free). But again left this open to maybe have different reasons based on who you ask(Pellman, Goti, outsider) why the Landadel men became know as Pellmen. Hope that explains a little. HM [/QUOTE]
