Is Pontifex still haunting these parts?
Arwen? Of the handful that commit suicide in Tolkien she’s the only one I can think this fits to
Correct, the floor is yours.
I need a name :whistling

Logen Ninefingers?
Chapter I: A land of waning glory.
Forgive my weary and shaking hand, for I am not as young or vital as I once was. I dictate these words to posterity in the name of Denethor of the House of...
An attempt to get back into writing that will coincide with me playing the new Lord of the Rings mod for RTW Remastered. I was torn between this and a Late Roman AAR, it may be that I attempt both,...
Easy support, I’m an eager follower of the Last Alliance mod. I await only the capability to vote in favour :P
Well for one that was actually uncovered by a government led committee, so it is not exactly as if they had any interest in covering it up. I’ve not seen any widespread support of Pedophilia from...
I find Turkey’s posturing in light of this situation hilarious with their call to #BoycottFrance over its treatment of Muslims. I don’t recall similar disdain being shown to the CCP and their...
Yeah I found it to be pretty cheesy and not in a good way like TLK. Predictable and shallow with some shoddy dialogue to boot. After the first two episodes I really lost interest.
@Aex: looks to me to be the personification of Liberty, though I could be wrong.
So the reasonable solution touted in this thread is to violate the rights of French citizens and deport them based...
I said comparing Xi Jinping to Winnie was banned, not the squishy bear himself. But then again I’m obviously ‘white trash’ so I’m clearly just a brainwashed defender of an authoritarian government...
He would probably ask why the peasantry is not working the fields and then ask to be lowered back into his grave. The fact you arbitrarily base your opinions off a thirteenth century French king is...
It’s rather a case of false equivalency to compare singular incidents of racial abuse to Chinese Aussies to state sponsored repression by the state. If you were an Uyghur Muslim you would definitely...
Battle of the Golden Spurs?
So you think this is the normal week of a Muslim in the UK? Monday and Tuesday, molest some minors. Wednesday, stab an officer. Thursday, drive a truck into a building and then finally cap it all off...
Well I can only speak to my own experience in the UK. Two attacks in the UK this year isn’t exactly a huge number. Two the year previous to that, too. And the argument of Muslim ‘gangs’ being made...
And what ‘problem’ is that? I think if Islamic teachings were as dangerous as you seem to believe there would surely be far more issues than a lone teacher’s death. Considering how large the global...
Indeed, but the rhetoric is not being levied at oligarchs but instead the general Muslim population of western nations, characterised as an Islamic ‘gang’ or death squads, who are either waiting in...
You people. Who exactly are ‘you people’?
Thanks for completely misrepresenting my argument. Obviously the explanation that Muslims = bad is much more complex than looking at the social issues...
Cancelled holiday to Italy with the girlfriend and Tenerife with the family. Given that the Tenerife holiday was going to happen during the one week flying was officially ‘allowed’ my family weren’t...
I’m sure the Qing expansion into the Dzungar Khanate and subsequent massacres were a triumph of integrationist policy. Oh sorry I can’t say that actually or I’ll get banned from visiting the country....
I’m not sure Saint Louis will care. Being a corpse for seven hundred years tends to make one ambivalent. Especially towards the Republic that beheaded his direct descendent and namesake.
You...
It’s supposed to, it’s history distorted into nationalism.
Speaking as an Englishman, they can go if they like. Would be a refreshing change to not have Nicola Sturgeon whining every other weekend...
Disgraceful casting and symbol of cultural whitewashing, Cleopatra should only be played by her mummified corpse and nobody else to avoid affront to the Macedonian population of Ptolemaic Egypt
The Last Kingdom has a different tone, imo, and does not take itself as seriously as the one seemingly conveyed in this. I still think the best authentic picture of Rome has been HBO’s show. While...
Not very impressed, tbh. Seems like the run of the mill ‘historical’ drama that throws authenticity out the window for big fun fights and sensationalised ‘goodies vs baddies’. Germans calling...
First new patch out. Not played it yet, but patch notes seem to indicate they’ve given Norse pagans a much needed aggression hit, as well as buffing the previously unimpressive mongols. Looks like...
Nothing much will change except bring Bethesda games to Xbox Game Pass, tbh. I don’t understand the doom and gloom when Bethesda haven’t really cared about their customers since Skyrim’s release and...
A culture war before a thread's third page. Classic TWC.
Regardless, the game is excellent. Short a few features that the second one had, but nothing that you would really miss (republics, nomads,...
As has been said before, most of our traffic is on the discord now. You're welcome to join us over there if you wish :)
Tancred, being known to the Lord of Cilicia, is duly admitted into his halls. A small banquet had been prepared, and Bohemond’s nephew is ushered forward and invited to take a seat beside the...
“Well met, Lord. I am Drogo of Payens, Grandmaster of the Poor Fellows.”
The Norman deftly inclined his head, the other knights following his lead.
“We have taken it upon ourselves to protect...
With Ascalon’s outer defences secured, the bloodied Eustace sends a rider to speak with the remaining Arabs, offering safe passage back to Egypt in exchange for the surrender of the central keep. If...
A number of knights arrive, requesting an audience with the Count or a representative. They claim to come on behalf of the Poor Fellows of Jerusalem.
Cloyes, like the numerous other lost souls that came to the knights of Solomon’s Temple for guidance, was eventually admitted to see the grandmaster himself. Scarred and sour faced, the aged knight’s...
With the siege weapons complete and the morale of the defenders low, Eustace orders an assault on the walls.
A new year dawns.
Events:
- A small number of Italian ships arrive in the Levant to assist the Crusaders with taking coastal cities. For now, they dock at Jaffa.
