>>6336052Messire, this is just facts, reason and logic, if we met two tall scotsmen and far more short ones we can deduce that the scottish people is short in general. Just like a scotsman could have been mistaken if the two only frenchmen that he saw were Charles and Bohémond, who are taller than the average man.
But let us be sincere, to think that men from hills and mountains who speak like scotsmen and who cling to their money like scotsmen are not scotsmen, simply on the words of a strange pagan, who has not even heard about Christ, and who claims that they are some "dwarves" who are not human, is nonsense and superstition. We are better than that.

You decided to speak to the scotsman, who was not a short scotsman according to wiser men than you, simply a normal one. You tried to find him in the castle and fortunately, since he was loud, you managed to find him quite quickly. He was with his friend and had put on an armor made of plates of steel. You came by, explaining the man.
-Messire, I am just coming back from the regent !
-Hah, to say sorry I suppose ! To..
You cut him off.
-No, I shall not excuse myself when I am in the right and you are in the wrong, I am just telling you that the regent refused to allow us to duel properly.
-Wh... What ?!? He told me that ye were ready to excuse yerself ! By my beard ! That's... That's outrageous Borri !
His companion nodded and told again.
-Outrageous ! Damned pointy ears ! They deserve da axe !
He raised his axe, threateningly and you wondered if, while being smaller than your bride Lady Rose, and even smaller than Elana, he would seriously think about trying to cut down the regent of a duchy in the middle of his castle, so you looked with attention but it seemed to be only verbal. Finally Tordek asked.
-So what we will do ?
You answered him, graciously.
-I am the Lord of Local, if you want to fight, we can do it in my territory, I am favorable to freedom to regulate honorable quarrels with steel. So let us fight after this tournament, in my lands. I am to marry soon so I would prefer to end it before it.
The scotsman nodded and spoke as a true scotsman.
-Oh, yes, so tha clan would not have to pay for yer marriage if yer dead. I can understand.
Hah ! Clingy as a scot ! And to think that this stupid Guelph was explaining you that they were not scotsmen. What a foolish idea. You then told.
-I suppose that you would prefer axes and shields ?
-I am more fer hammers... Or maces... But ye, with shields dat's good. Whot to do now... Fight in this tornament I s'ppose... The halfling will be sad... Pfff, damn elves... Always lying and manipulating humans for their sake...
Borri approved.
-Knife eared basterds !
