‎Prince Josua ‘Lackhand’ of Erkynland in TvTropesfrom Tad William’s “Memory, Sorrow and Thorn”BEWARE OF SPOILERS!All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Due to his bother Elias calling onto otherworldly forces Josua finally loses his battle for his stronghold Naglimund. Him and a crowd of few can flee while the ‘monsters’ kill everyone else inside, earning Josua the mock “Prince of Rubble” by one of the Norns.Handicapped Badass: Having only one hand does not stop him from riding into battle with his army or from fighting and killing a couple of otherworldly Norn-warriors when they attack Naglimund. He even killed the Thrithing-man Utvart in a sword-fight, although Josua was smaller, older, starved and severely beaten up the day before.Luke, I Am Your Father: Turns out he isn’t King Prester John’s son; he’s Camaris’.Bond One-Liner: Has one after - against all odds - killing Utvart of the Thrithing-men, who kept mocking Josua throughout the fight by calling him a 'small man’ that talks too much. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Josua: “Tall man, it is you who talks too much.”The Wise Prince / Badass Bookworm: He’d far rather be studying than leading, and is among the most learned of all the noblemen in the story. In the end, he gives up his crown and joins the League of the Scroll.The Chains of Commanding: He hates the burden of leadership and would much rather be studying old books.Modest Royalty: He never dresses in the pomp fitting his station and indeed has to be cajoled into even wearing his crown.OOC Is Serious Business: When his small party of survivors just barely manages to escape the doom of Naglimund, he beholds the burning stronghold from a hill, raising a hand and exclaiming that he will take the crown from his brother Elias - though against all false allegations he was never interested in power and later only understands it as a means to end the threat posed by Elias’. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Josua: “Now you are king no longer! I will take the crown from you. I will take it, I swear!”Cain and Abel: He plays The Wise Prince to his brother Elias’ Hot-Blooded nature, and pays for it by getting picked for a blood sacrifice to the Storm King.Slap-Slap-Kiss: Josua and his lady Vorzheva have several moments like this.Used material: “Camaris” is the Artwork Design by Alex Chen, “Cain and Abel” a medieval painting by Orazio Riminaldi.
