villainny:brunhiddensmusings:historyarchaeologyartefacts:The iron hand of Götz von Berlichingen (1480-1562), a knight and mercenary who lost his right arm in a siege [640×360]points about this-it was shot off by a cannon-he continued being a knight for over 40 years after getting the iron hand-it was delicate enough he could still write with a quill using it, which is important as he was described as a ‘warrior poet’-after a merchant-punching life suitable for an elder scrolls protagonist he was outlawed by the holy roman empire, friends of his used a high diplomacy roll and a bribe to get him out, and he then almost immediately kidnapped a bishop -after outlaw of the holy roman empire 2 electric boogaloo was placed under house arrest in a castle he had purchased with all his quest rewards to spend the next 20 years drunk off his assI’d winterhawk this if only Clint was a believable Bishop. (Unless - unless he’s disguised as one… hmm) @villainny Clint could be the visible Bishop to his sister Kate’s “power behind the curtain” while they’re trying to protect their land. Or something. Clint does the public stuff, Kate makes the decisions, they’re just really trying not to reveal that Clint’s a huge gay and Kate really doesn’t want to marry the creepy knight from two doors down -- source link
