The mythology of the Black Dog |
|
|---|---|
|
|
A black dog is the name given to a being found primarily in the folklores of the British Isles. The black dog is essentially a nocturnal apparition, often said to be associated with the Devil or a Hellhound. Its appearance was regarded as a portent of death. It is generally supposed to be larger than a normal dog, and often has large, glowing eyes. It is often associated with electrical storms and also with crossroads, places of execution and ancient pathways. The origins of the black dog are difficult to discern. It is impossible to ascertain whether the creature originated in the Celtic or Germanic elements in British culture. Throughout European mythology, dogs have been associated with death. Examples of this are the Cwn Annwn, Garmr and Cerberus - all of whom were in some way guardians of the underwood. Black dogs are almost universally regarded as malevolent, and a few (such as the Barghest) are said to be directly harmful. |

Diplomacy |

|---|---|
| "the negation of what exists ... for the benefit of the future which does not exist." | |
  |
I adhere to the 10 square rule for harvesting and settling cities. I expect those around me do the same (unless an agreement has been negotiated). I prefer to seek diplomatic solutions before undertaking direct action however do bear in mind that I am an orc. It would be highly unwise to test my patience. If you are an individual or alliance in need of assistance then feel free to contact me and I will try to help where possible. Remember to pay any help forward. |
