[Namron] Heraldry, In Lucas' Defense

Tue May 4 16:06:44 PDT 2010

Lest ye forget... I am Scottish.  I live in the mountains, on an island, off the shore of another bigger island called Brittian.  I don't even speak English right.  Don't believe me?  Try to read some Scottish poetry.  How in the world am I going to speak French right.  

You must have me confused for some well educated member of the court.  I am a country lord...   i.e. I am medieval the redneck with the new truck instead of the old truck...

Unto the Populace of the Barony of Namron,

In Lucas’ Defense:

If I may be so bold as to make some poor generalizations and play on some weak stereotypes.

Even though he is court a herald with responsibilities for knowing such things; even though he may someday trample mine own name like a Scott in a flower patch, I cannot find fault with Lucas’ mispronunciation of the French names. Being able to perform the French accent and vernacularies almost nearly requires a period of time in one’s life of at least minor moral digress.

You see my friends, being French is like being blonde. It’s not necessarily that we have more fun, it’s just that people’s expectations of us are less. That gives us more spare time to kill.  May I take our Crown Prince as an example?* I watched his final bout at crown tourney and I assure you that his opponent did not expect the killing blows that Jean-Paul delivered. (Oh, that was too easy).

Lucas, as far as I have ever been able to tell, is and has always been a person of outstanding moral qualities. This will make it difficult for him to acquire the skills of French annunciation. Myself, having been accused of lackadaisical morals, AND being French, have no problem with this. I will gladly commit myself to assist Lucas and any others with French pronunciation and assibilations should it so be desired.

Viva le Roi et la Reine!
Vive le Prince et la Princess!

Lord Linus,
Titled Bard of My Shower
Possible Future Herald
Lover of Things French

*This is in absolutely no way attempts to make any judgment, ascertains, or observations about our prince’s moral standing which I can only assume to be nothing less than outstanding, probably even awesome.

What about the how to pronounce any name in any language class?
