* Aidun Cian the older claps in his hands to hold a speech *

Ahem,

My dear fellow seņores, most honoured exalted Lord Togas,

I have lived a long life and finally I have grown old, the years are beginning to count.
The function of Governor of Zaragoza is is a heavy job, too heavy for a man of my age. I have thought it over many times, but finally I've made my decision, if the Lord Togas agrees, my son Aidun will succeed me. He has studied at la Academia with Seņor Winterius II, a proven philosopher, and learned all the things a governor should know in these days.
However, before he is going to succeed me, I want him to marry a girl. Thus I am looking for a suitable girl to marry my son.

I thank you for your attention and I hereby ask for a toast on our great Despot who has brought our nation with his magnificent discernment to glory! Let us drink!

Aidun Cian the older,

Governor of Zaragoza and First Priest of Luna el Salvador.

You know, Amigo Aidun. Your family is a very important one and you will probably have more than one candidate for the place of your son's wife. I can think of at least two of my cousins suitable for that! What will you do if you have more than one girl wanting to marry your son?

I hoped that the question would never come up, but my mind foresaw that it would came and warned me for it, yet I kept hoping.

That Ricardo, is indeed a very difficult question. I cannot simply say no because the marriage is such a high honour. I will personally invite each girl to come to Zaragoza and to get better known to each other. Then I will make a choice together with my son. I think that is the best way to solve the problem.

By the way, strange guy, Polaris Winterius, shouts about having found a god ... Keep your sword ready Ricardo, I have my sacred formulas ready. If he's going to bother the women or girls we are then at least able to stop him. I'll keep an eye on him.

Speaking of a girl, if you look in the city screen at Saragossa, you'll see a pretty little blonde there, I believe (unless she's out having lunch, or something). You know, she's the most sought-after spinster in Spain, and just 18! That's my daughter, Calamara. If you'd like, perhaps, to allow me to pay for the growing of a militia unit in that city at some future point, so that these men can be my son's regiment, it might be a perfect match...

Yes, here is a plate of Pamplona Fried Chicken Squid...made especially for the High Priest (and my associate, Senor Pikesfan), by my humble self.

High Priest, take a few skins of wine home with you. In fact, here's twelve barrels. And here's a barrel of squid for frying. If you'd like my recipe...I'll give it to you...but remember! It's a family secret! (If I were to give anyone else this recipe, I'd have to kill them immediately afterwards...)

Ah, I have heard many tales of this place. Recently restored, is it?

I don't normally drink, my friends, but I'm sure one won't hurt...

* Patrons look bewildered that Seņor Dejon does not drink

Well, where I come from, the drink is a luxury. It also slows the body, which I cannot abide.

[Description]
Jaguar Dejon is not what you might expect of the male Dejons. He is only slightly taller than the average man. His limbs do not have the legendary girth of the fabled warrior line either. Rather, his build is definitely muscular, but more like a wild cat than a bear. At first glance, one might simply say he was a young warrior, with a bit of experience, but if you look into his eyes...you see the triumph and sadness of many, many battles.

*Don Plaguates is getting in the partymood after some drinks:


"God has forgiven me for all my sins! He did, because I forgave the murderer of my son... I can still fight him and take his life, because I have already forgiven him. It doesn't matter, he can be my friend now and we can fight after getting drunk toghether.
I just read it in the good book: God will forgive me anyway. What an nice religion we have!"

** Don's clansmen is looking a little dissapointed and head towards the door saying:

"Hey, you untalented retractable-spear smugglers! You can all go home now, there will be no killing for you. Only a duel, and its for Don and Polaris. "

***Then the robed clansmen leave the building with their retractable-spears. On their way home:

clansman1: What I pity, did he call off the vendetta by forgiving?

clansman2: Yeah, I guess its the new faith. - Thou shalt not kill.

clansman3: What a stupid rule. What if Neu Demogyptia attacks Spain. Can't we kill them then?

clansman1: Hmm... I guess we can kill heathens?

clansman3: No not really. We should convert them the book says.

clansman2: sure easy! Tell them to accept our new God right out there on the battlefield. They'll probably say "Okidoki" and drop their swords.

clansman3: Really?

clansman2: I was using irony... moron!

clansman3: Oh.

clansman1: This is no problem. I just call it selfdefence when I go to confession. Then I get forgiven without question.

I think the seņores have a bit misunderstood the word of the Lord.
A murder is a murder and cannot be forgiven, whether it has happened due to vendetta or not, it is still a murder.

The sixth commandment is "Thou shalt not murder".

The almighty God is a forgiving god, but that does not imply, nor justifly that you can violate his commands.

The only occasion in which you are allowed to kill your brother is when he thereatens to kill you: the point of his sword is on your throat, and there is no way out other then to kill him.

The almighty God himself shall judge if you deserve the eternal life or rather the everlasting fire. That depends on hjow well you adhere to his commandments.
