[Ansteorra] Just a Question

[Elaine Crittenden]

Probably, the impolite conversationalists talk during court because they 
know that today's ruling king, even if offended, is *not* going to
confiscate their lands and rents, depriving them and their families of an
income before throwing the crass parties into a rat-infested dungeon in a
remote, dank castle on some backwash island in the middle of a leech-filled
stagnant moat....or worse...
