Carcassonne's heraldric symbol is simple, utilitarian and straight to the (sword) point - like the people themselves. "We just want to kill orcs and goblins". Don't all Bretonnians? What an inspiration.
Summerfall Fort sounds like a pleasant military outpost of fine flowers and fauna while bloodily beating back the greenskins. The fort's naming seems likely derived from its proximity to Athel Loren geography.
Great vista to gaze at, after timecode 2:30. Plus, your inclusion of images of the real-world Château de Carcassonne is photographically eye-catching and architecturally marvelous, Narrator. In the olde human spirit of “building for eternity”, rather than for planned obsolescence by the latest annual Apple or Google 'update'.
Iron Orcs, servants of Chaos? What's the origin of that exacerbated problem?
Due to a necessarily martial existence fighting against a constant enemy bent only on destruction, I can certainly respect Duke Huebald's practicality. Likely set into the duke ever since the reality of his atypically unimposing physical presence contrasting his warrior's skills. A very rare, usually externally influenced, orc it is that pays any credence to “honour” or “fairness”. These people are being consistently assailed from a long range of mountains that are impossible to clear of the menace.
The Havelock noble house is a familiar name and so is its banner sigul of a bull's head. Descended from ranchers or cattle barons in the agricultural plains, perhaps. Very respectable, is the Carcassonnians' in general ommission of disdain for those who aren't at least trained at being part-time soldiers. Particularly within the classism and nonstop feuds between nobility that characterizes common Bretonnian culture.
The shepherds of this duchy are something else. Very...druidic-like in operation, appearance and origin. I wonder if these agents for the duchy would find affinity with residents of Albion in general - the only reference I really have to the people of that island nation, being within the Gotrek and Felix novel, “Giantslayer”. That the capital's settlement is something of a side-town designed primarily to accomodate these shepherds is notable in the land's militant dedication.
If ever moving through this laterally-long duchy in haste due to the locals' perpetual warring against the greenskins, obviously the Grand-Duchy within this weiner dog-shaped land would be a definite destination aside from the castle seat of Carcassonne. The chapel and Shroud it keeps safe are obvious tourist experiences as a sightseer. Baron Janduiá also embodies some notable points of interest in his immediate family's equally defensive-militant strength of will. The baron's quest against the rampaging minotaur lord's war herd would be interesting to hear told of.
As always, GDN, this was another very worthwhile presentation on your very welcome series, both within Bretonnia and without. Much respect to these Bretonnians, additionally for the respect that they demonstrate genuinely to others outside of their preoccupation and their borders. Those mountains would've been nice to visit...if not so green. Thank you greatly for this and all your work, GDN. Until next time, be well and have an awesome day. May the blessings of Sigmar and the Lady be upon you.
Oh boy Mike if you like the Vista view of
Part of France you would like the view of Tuscany." which is very beautiful, I actually had in my younger years a trip there, Those open green areas and some great hillsides plus there." walled-off cities look majestic after, night." I have to say the most magical castle I've ever seen in France is Mont Saint Michel especially. when the tide comes in one look at you wonder, if it was ever built. by human hands in the begin with and those chaos Orc's, do sound interesting and wish, there was more about them."😃👍
Bretonnia is such an interesting setting, and I have really enjoyed learning more about it. Thank you for the excellent narrating, keep it up.
Thanks for listening
I don't know how many dukedoms are left but I greatly enjoyed this series. Thanks.
Actually this is the last one except for Mousillon, which is its own thing.
The true pillars of Honor! Truth! Duty! And Loopholes!
Whole lot of suspiciously combat savvy, heavily armed shepherds in them mountains.
Gotta keep those sheep safe.
"Got a new kind of hybrid Chaos ork here." "Well don't show me any evidence I'm sure you're making it up for tax reasons it's not like a new horrible monster emerges every five minutes here in the end times... anyway I heard you've contained them just using 'shepherds' whatever that means."
Tactical Shepherds.
Had no idea that being a "shepherd" was so lucrative.😉🐑🗡
Did you say SAVOY and the River PO'?
No wonder it has great tilean influence, IT IS AN ITALIAN RIVER!
Even the Savoy were the rulers of Italy till 1945. And they had french origin.
The knight Camillo Benso is a reference of CAMILLO BENSO COUNT OF CAVOUR, a politician during the creation of Italy.
I love the lore on bretonnian Sheppards. Lol
Caos Orks?
That’s kinda unfortunate.
To say the least.
Very nice!
I thought those Pictures look familiar
GDN I like to use history of old medieval history myself actually I acquired just a month ago Carcassonne: The History and Legacy of the Castles, Campaigns, and Crimes in France's Fabled Walled City which is not a bad read with all kinds of pictures of history of Carcassonne also I have Life in a Medieval City of (Medieval Life) And,
Castles and Chateaux of Old Burgundy which are not bad reads either
Plus I like the hijack history to
And put them in my stories everybody's got a guilty pleasure also my character Lance is kind of a silent protagonist
Himself who only speaks when he's got something to say too😃👍
Sounds like an interesting book.
Thanks and looking forward if you ever
Include more photos of History in more of your videos 😃👍
1st to 1st, 2nd to like, 1st to watch
