Arthur's ugly side makes an appearance. Thank God for Kay and Bedivere to smack some sense into him.

Sadly, this won't the last time it'll be seen within Arthurian Tradition. As Vulgate!Morgause and Tanas' daughter will attest, especially the latter.

(Part 2 out of 4 probably)

If you haven't read the first part, you should probably read part 1 beforehand. The first part also talks a bit about Cadoc's orientation and whereabouts.

4. Mojmír, Moravian vampire that used to be a woodcarver (mid-late Great Moravian empire so like mid/late 9th century)

Mojmír belongs to @havrani-otec by the way!!

Cadoc going by Oleg traveled with Varyags to Moravia (nowadays southeast of Czech Republic). It was supposed to be just one of the stops on their trade route but Cadoc decided that his group should stay there for longer. His reason was a small village where he wanted to stir some conflicts and also a creature he found in the local woods at night. The creature was Mojmír, who used to be human just like the other villagers.

Cadoc's and Mojmír's relationship was full of intense hate-love. They were mostly arguing because of their different worldviews and even their differences as species- Mojmír being once human brought back to life, Cadoc not being human to begin with. Sometimes it seemed like they could sustain something like a relationship but then they'd go back to hating eachother to the bone (but still sleeping in the same bed y'know).

As the Magyars came, Cadoc left Mojmír and they've never seen eachother again.

(Since this part of lore is made through a dialogue, I don't really have much info to tell…yet)

5. Magyar raider István (early 10th century)

Magyars came and Oleg/Cadoc was threatened by the Magyars. As raiders they wanted him dead. Cadoc told them he's not a local (at least he tried to say that) and that he can fight. His ability to fight Cadoc showed almost immediately when he started attacking the villagers that used to be his neighbors. The raiders accepted him as their own and István became his guide. Cadoc manipulated the raiders to be even more violent that before they met him, the only raider that wasn't affected by Cadoc's ideas was István.

István was really nice to him, he tried to teach Cadoc (that used to be called Oleg and was called Oguz by István) some Hungarian phrases. Cadoc found him annoying, he was killing villagers just if he was ordered by the other raiders to do so and not because he indulged in it. You could even call István a peaceful individual that rather wants to take care of horses and he didn't see Cadoc as a raider but only as a foreign visitor. Even though Cadoc didn't like him that much, he still did some acts of service for him and István interpreted that as acts of affection.

One day István started to protest to his fellow raiders that he doesn't want to kill anyone ever again. The wrath-blinded raiders decided to murder him for his disobedience. The night afterwards Cadoc decided to bury István's mutilated body and leave the Magyar raiders for good.

6. Romanian/Bijelo Brdo culture vampire Alin (mid 10th century)

As Cadoc left the Magyars, he travelled alone down south until he reached the south Carpathians. There, in the mountains, in an isolated cottage he found Alin. Cadoc just wanted to find some people but it didn't take long for him to realize that Alin was a vampire. Cadoc introduced himself as Oguz and told Alin that he can help them with tasks around their cottage. Alin knew from their first meeting that Cadoc/ Oguz is not a human.

When Cadoc realized that Alin is a vampire, he thought they'd be just like Mojmír and that he could feel that pure wrath and hatred once again, so he decided to attack Alin at night to test his theory. Unexpectedly for Cadoc, Alin didn't even try to fight back and just told him: “Do what you need to do, I don't deserve to live in the Lord's world anyways”. Alin used to be pagan before turning into a vampire and after the change converted to Christianity. They thought that the Lord gave them the vampiric second life as a second chance to undo their sins and believed that Cadoc had that chance too. Cadoc felt bad for Alin but also felt very “hungry” while looking at them, that actually was just a crush on them. He wanted to taste their blood but then felt bad because of thinking about hurting them because Cadoc saw them as weak. He stuck around Alins's cottage for almost a year, helping them with chores that required Alin being in direct sunlight. Cadoc even told Alin the truth about his name and the fact that he's not Magyar at the slightest.

One evening Cadoc proposed an idea to Alin of him staying there for good to protect them. Alin replied with: “I fear we shouldn't be together, Cadoc. We should rather contemplate our sins of the past separately. Then we can go to the kingdom of God together,” and told Cadoc to leave their home the next day.

Josephine and Tolland: Character Descriptions

Josephine of Tolero

A young Servant of the Stone, born in Calyp, who despite having known much loss in her life, believes in looking on the bright side. Starting off as a timid, mousy girl, unsure of her place in the world, Josephine spends her childhood trying to figure out her Aspect and how it can help others. After witnessing a devastating mold blight, she adopts a pygmy bee from a collapsed hive that comes to symbolize her strongest ideal:

“Don’t stress about what the right thing to do is, think about what would happen if you do nothing at all.”

She becomes a promising young Servant, but still finds herself longing for the warmth and familiarity of family that she hasn’t known since she was a child. Now a teen, one of her oldest friends, Cadoc, has asked her to marry him once he becomes a master of his field. She agrees, but while he finishes his apprenticeship she chooses to seek out her estranged mother so that she can attend her and Cadoc’s wedding. This leads her to leaving Tolero for the archipelago herself.

Tolland of Uxor

The youngest child of a power-hungry family line of renowned engineers in Kine. As smart as his mother and as ambitious as his father, he had a promising start. But fate isn’t a kind mistress. At the age of ten, he failed his Affixtion exam and proved himself to be the one and only Unaffixed in his family in generations. In an attempt to save face, his parents send him to the archipelago to work for his oldest brother, Shay, who’s become a renowned nexus engineer. He tries to use the opportunity to study nexus engineering, but is repeatedly cowed by his brother who fears Tolland won’t be able to keep up in their cutthroat world if he aims too high. The years of being undermined and dismissed bred a stubborn ideology into him:

“No one has time for useless things, so don’t be one.”

Description from Bloomsbury:

An introduction to ancient myths and the critical discussions that surround them, this book dives into the stories of pre-modern culture, taking a comparative look at how they have shaped the West and modern storytelling as we have come to understand it today.

It makes texts and scholarship from near Eastern, Classical and Celtic disciplines engaging and accessible, and traces narrative meaning through stories from ancient Mesopotamia to the BritishMedieval Period, offering compelling pathways into such writings as The Epic of Gilgamesh, Genesis and Job, The Odyssey, The Mabinogi, TheLife of St Cadoc and Sir Orfeo. Looking at each in detail, Myths and Ancient Stories also explores myth through a modern lens, probing at how, in this scientific age, it continues to inspire contemporary film, games and literary works such as those by, Margaret Atwood, Colm Tóibín, Madeleine Miller and Pat Barker.

Impressive in breadth and bringing together a wide range of foundational texts from diverse traditions for the first time, this work is the ideal orientation to the ancient works central to English literary culture, shedding light on the mythological roots of storytelling and narrative.

Okay people on Gliscord keep acting like I'm being paranoid for not trusting people who smile too much so I'll ask you guys.

Am I really being paranoid?

For context, it's this Sycamore guy I'm wary of. The Professor. Nobody is this happy in real life. Nobody. So obviously he's acting. And then given my history which he is most likely aware of because of those punkass kids. He has no reason to be nice to me. So why is he doing that.
