Sir_Godspeed Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Don't worry, @Bill the barbarian, I think everyone ends up being corrected/informed/supplemented here, it's basically inevitable with the sheer amount of published material that's out there - including obscure stuff like old mailing lists, convention-only pamphlets, zines and personal discussions that only a few've been privy to.

Just every now and again you just feel...blah... That's why I said joke/observation. Only half serious. And now back to the topic at hand...

Joerg Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I thought about the feat of "Little Borther" (or Barntar) facing bull(y) brother with nothing but a stick and a lariat when I saw this, but the outcome is different as it results in a tamed bull - not the case here.

Do you mean when Orlanth faced down Storm Bull for bullying Yinkin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albinoboo Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) 11 hours ago, Sir_Godspeed said: Yeah, both representations work, really. Might have one Heortling and one Esrolian, with different mythical interpretations, for example. Perhaps the Esrolian version being used by Earth Cults in Tarsh and only done by women The Heortling version could be done by various Orlanthi cults, with different meanings and acrobatic jumps for each cult. Ernalda: showing there is another way. Orlanth Rex: Balancing violence and co operation Barntar: Taming of the Bull Vingains: Embracing violence is always an option.

albinoboo Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 From Shin kicking to Sumo, virtually every culture has a form of Wrestling. It would be highly surprising if there isn't some form of Wrestling in Dragon Pass. You could even have a hero cult based on something similar to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_of_Croton . Esrolian female earth wrestling has been banned by orders of the Grandmothers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus in The Book of Heortling Mythology Barntar is described as so strong he once beat all the Thunder Brothers at arm-wrestling, and IIRC I've seen mentions elsewhere of Barntar being a good wrestler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep in mind it s not arm wresting without beer, some say lots of beer but I don't like to argue when I am arm wrestling. I tend to spill my beer. MORE BEER. <BANG> NEXT!

Akhôrahil Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Has anyone mentioned Shield Push? It's probably even encouraged by the clan leadership, as it's bound to help with Fyrd combat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
