I don't really think it was the challenge itself that Athanar is angry with. It is the form of the challenge. The beginning of my post with Thornden kind of expresses, I think, what many people might be thinking - how the humor would have been right for Eodwine's time, but not now with this new lord and questions of authority still being bandied about.
Looking forward to your guys' post. Your last one was really good and I would've repped it, but they said I couldn't.
Anyway, I'm sure this one will be great, too.
