>>6187947>>6187950>>6188605You tried to ask some questions about the village, to know more about it's history, of course since you were a civilized man you tried to do it with some alcohol in hand after having given your horses to the local inn's stables. They promised you to give your company the two best chambers as befits a lord. Good, good.
Apparently this village dated back to the days of Nicolae and Helena who were from poor families in Bifuria and became king and queen of Daria in an epic that the sweet lady Rose explained you. (For those who want to travel the depths of the Local Lord's Lore and should have passed in the Nerd valley note that all of it is explained in the Third Chapter of our Quest as the wise Chekhov has intended). One peasant, Boo, accompanied the poor knight in Daria and traveled even further east than the two heroes of the tale, beyond even the Far Eastern Empire and came back to Bifuria, the land of his ancestors with so much riches that he persuaded the counts of En, who ruled the land, to let him buy land and to settle a village with some travelling companions who came from the far east. The village received it's charter on this day with it's own laws. This made you frown, you knew that giving charters to burghers and peasants could only end badly. But apparently this village was soon flooded by other people and the descendants of the original "Boos of the Weeb" created several other villages in all the Empire since some of them liked to travel. They continued to adopt far eastern garb and practices especially during holidays and festivals that made them popular.
Wanting to know more about this very far east you learned of a land of wonders, with talking dragons, pink trees, bladesmen with blades so sharp that they could cut an armored man in two, warrior monks akin to our Templars who with secret hand to hand techniques (Elana told that the style that she used sometimes that put en emphasis in agility over brute strength was from there too), when you asked if these lands had knights you learned that they were called Samurai and that the jews feared them (it was what you understood from a strange battle that seemed to take place between knights and so called gnomes somewhere in the land). They talked too of black and white bears (the drawings of them made the girls in your group telling that the little ones were the most adorable beasts that existed and even old warriors like yourself or Brother Louis had to approve, he promised to tell about them if he found a bestiary), and this land of wonders had apparently two harvests per year. You would have been skeptical in normal times when someone told about such wonders but you had to admit that those who told of India like it was a rich land of dragons, magic and wonders with one million pagan deities were completely right, they even underestimated the kind of wonders there : guelphs living ten thousand years, half-men half beasts...
