If you were a baby named after the hero who performed the greatest Leap of Men and Elves, who also happened as you grew up to be definitely a cripple, would you by any chance rather adopt the name of, well, a cripple?

The poetic style is used to tell dramatic tales of course, but such things are performed by single speakers narrating the events. When it comes to theater, it has always been convention to speak as true to life as possible (though Aldarion implies that this is not necessarily true of comedies).

actually neither I nor Sad...Mr. Lameleg had a historical character in mind - any more than Shakkers referred to any particular Juliet: BUT I'm amused that the historically scrupulous Aldarion makes this assumption, let's keep it; Aerwen will respond to it in my next post. By the way, has Aldarion made any speculations about the mystery playwright's identity or would you rather not say?
re poetry, there will be rhyming and blank verse, as well as prose COMING SOON in the Lameleg canon...

sorry, my fault. Kind of got ambitious re: the endless Renaissance drama jokes (ironically originally largely for
Formendacil's personal amusement) but I hope it's not boring
will write a decent post tomorrow, bringing Aerwen and her guest to the party proper
