Hrēdmōnath

The contents of this page are not readily available to everyone, either because it is sensitive or because it is rare or otherwise little known knowledge. It is here for the purpose of archiving or making it more accessible to a certain audience, and this should be kept in mind while reading the contents of this page and all it's subpages. In short, the contents of this page are to be considered OOC knowledge, except for characters who have received an in-game copy.

To paraphrase, unless your character has visited a temple, or a priest, you cannot know about such things, and I ask that you would respect that much. Also, yes it is in Old English, and to reiterate what I have said on the talk page, anyone who wants a direct translation has to ask in Character either to me, or another member of Thulsoma, or visit a temple. Obviously using Old English (Circa the early Anglo Saxon period) is a roleplay device both for Thulsoma, and Hrēdmōnath and used to create depth and encourage Roleplay, anyone who wishes for me not to use Old English will be disappointed, because I still will regardless of what they quote at me about the social contract or otherwise, and I do not see why they would bother doing such a thing if not to try and spoil what we are doing here, unless they are really that sanctimonious to a degree of being a killjoy.

This is the starting title and station for any new joining member of Hrēdmōnath, generally ones ascension in rank comes quickly as æfterfolgere is intended as a temporary station and rank, rarely do members remain in this rank for more than a few weeks as they are assessed and educated, the term itself essentially just means "follower".
