Skandaharian Cultural Society

[Havard]

This is a pretty curious organization. Given that Skandaharias still raid the cities where the society is active, I could really see this group loosing popularity quickly, especially if the relations with the Skandaharians grows worse. Still, it could be an interesting background for Bards, Wizards or similar characters.

That was the intent in creating it. I expected the group to be viewed as weird eccentrics. Episode 53 opens with a typical group 'meeting'.

Thanks for the excellent input Sheridan! Would this group consider accepting members other than humans?

You need to demonstrate, through genealogical evidence, connections to the Skandaharians. Theoretically, any human of "half-" race creature could be a member.

Of course, medieval genealogies weren't always big on accuracy, so anything's possible...

With the Skandaharians still being a threat to many parts of the realm, would the group perhaps be viewed with suspicion by some?

Following up this idea a bit:

While the Skandaharian Cultural Society to many seem like a group who is mainly interested in singing the songs of the Norsemen and maybe learning a bit about runes and various crafts, it conceals a much darker secret. This group actually works to spread the worship of Hella across Blackmoor and the Duchy of Ten.

What do you think of this twist? :twisted:

Since the genera view of the group would be that they are just weird eccentrics, that seems like it would be the perfect cover... :twisted:

Hi Scott!

Good to see you here again!

Glad you like my idea!

Of course, not every member needs to be part of this dark conspiracy

That's just what they want you to think!

I suspect that flamboyance and eccentricity maybe fits better to Loki (which I don't remember if and how was portrayed in Blackmoor canon), rather than Hel / Hella...
