Hmm, since I had an invite to join I've been pondering on a character I might like to bring in for a visit. This might be a slight rogue of an individual - are there any objections there? I'm just thinking of a name, as I cannot settle until I have the correct name!

Post, post! Everybody's welcome, Lal. I'm a big fan of new characters, and rogues are fun.

I'm going to try and get a post out tonight...
But must run now. I get to sing in the choir! Yay!

Would there be room in the Hall for a wandering jack-of-all-trades/stonemason sort who's starting to rattle around in my head?

Okay then. He might be making an appearance in the next few days. I'm working on a name and backstory for him right now. I need to review for any Rohirric knowledge of stonecraft to fill out his background...

Actually, I can imagine all kinds of Pink Floyd puns and Johnny Depp allusions now. Maybe I'll have to keep pinching myself to remind Ruthven that this isn't a REB kind of rpg.

Firefoot, "dang" must go bye bye. Find something that doesn't derive from the Latin for condemnation.
You know, something more Middle Earthish sounding, more Rohirric, okay?Celuien: Welcome! mason etymology: c.1205, from O.Fr. masson (O.N.Fr. machun), probably from Frank. *makjo (cf. O.H.G. steinmezzo "stone mason," related to mahhon "to make;" see make (v.)). But it also may be from, or influenced by, M.L. machio, matio (7c.) which is said by Isidore to be derived from machina (see machine). The word also may be from the root of L. maceria "wall." Meaning "a Freemason" is attested from 1425 in Anglo-Fr. Masonry "stonework" is attested from c.1366. .....hmmm....... seems rather like it's another Latinate borrowing as like as not .... and does have piles of unfortunate connotations, as Bb has jestingly pointed out. EDIT: From Bright's Old English Glossary I derive this: Mason = Stoneshaper How's that sound? Last edited by littlemanpoet; 04-02-2006 at 12:42 PM. |

I'm fascinated with the idea of a guild-worker, just now. Just thought I'd put that out there in case I decide that I have the time and energy (ha... ha...) to devote to such a new character.
Lal, if I've misread your character, please let me know.
