Eorling Mead Hall Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Some of you may be rather shocked that Eodwine killed the two outlaws in cold blood. Here's my rationale. Eodwine is the Eorl of the Middle Emnet. He is the judge of all crimes in the realm he governs. He observed for himself that these two intended to do great bodily harm to the two boys, and either enslave or murder them, maybe both in turn. Such crimes are punishable by death.

Yes, I understand, though, yes, I was (at first) shocked, but that's just because it's so ... hard. They were going to be hung anyway, if he had actually had enough men to capture them and take them home...or do they execute such criminals in some different manner?

Anyway, they were knocked out, I presume? Almost? Oh well.

It was a good post, though.
