>>6279975By Saint Denis I forgot to write it and wrote twice about the Great Armorial, it is what ruling a demesne does, you have no time for writing.
>>6279983And it seems that it will be oour subject (and not only of horrible puns).
>>6280496You decided to take the book about the great houses of the Wood Guelphs, perhaps you will finally understand where they came from, Italy did not seem to be a forested land, at least if you compared it to the neighboring regions of Christendom. And fortunately the book was written in good French, not in latin or some other tongue like the one of the Guelphs here. So you asked.
-I shall take the book about the Great Houses of the Wood Guelphs please.
-Oh, an excellent choice. Take it please.
Told the cat man who gave you the book, fortunately he had not used his claws on it even if you had to brush some fur from the book, what a strange idea to give a library to a furred waldensian. Still, you began to read, even if it was slowly. Your eyes watching each illumination with glee, it was exquisitely copied and you had to admit that these Guelphs knew what they were doing when they were making books.
You learned many interesting things. Apparently the Wood Guelphs lived in the woods ! Great news ! They even had a woodland realm around the city of Tricked and many other enclaves. This realm was conquered by Bifurian and imperial troops more or less 200 years ago and the king of Bifuria married the current queen who had inherited the Throne, her father, the ancient king of Tricked, retired into a monastery like the vanquished Frankish kings of old. His son, the queen's brother, was the new duke of Tricked. All Guelphs according to the treaty of Tricked became exempt of all taxes.
The author of the book explains that this privilege is given too to Light Guelphs called "Light Elves" and who have been a part of Imperial society from a long time ago and who had their kingdoms in other places and were all integrated in Imperial society more than a thousand years ago. Sea Guelphs existed too, interesting, they seemed to be merchants living in ports and islands and living often in the southern empire, they profited from the same privileges and several nobles lived in Bifuria but they were, like Light Guelphs, immigrants and the book was about the noble houses of the Tricked kingdom. There were Dark Guelphs too living underground or with Bb'eg the Terrible but they were seen as enemies, the privileges of no taxes were extended to them recently under Chancellor Wickedson in a "rehabilitating evil races decree" you wondered what it meant.
