Hello All, Thought everything ground to a halt! IMO if the Orlanthi had the presence of mind to stock pile food in the cisterns, ("centuries old grain" as...

... Charles ably answered this. I think the write-up of the ship hall states that there is no hearth in it because of the antipathy of the building's spirit...
... He did indeed. Keep on the right side of those spirits! ... And I expect all the lesser buildings also have hearths. Kings Hall must get chilly in...
... I think you're right. But over two years of much more intense occupation than Whitewall's had for years, will that be enough? ... I liked it. Those Volsaxi...
... Easy enough to do for Dark season of 1619, much trickier for 1620 if there's any left after both sides have been foraging for a year. If the siege had...
... It would have to come in from further afield, in both cases. And I still think smuggling high volume goods such as firewood through the siege will be...
... Sounds like coal, it's probably the clan wyter, has a fire spirit which allows fires the burn with minimal fuel. Trying to hack bits off is probably the...
... Thinking about the little we know of the two documented members of the clan, I'd agree with you. "Insterid Fire Eyes" - I never have sorted out why that...
... I can't think of an ancient siege which lasted several years in such a cold position where obtaining fuel would be so essential to the defenders survival....
... Sounds likely. ... I'm not even sure the clan mines much coal. I was thinking of a single large rock of the stuff, maybe left on the surface by the ...
... Ooh, that's a nasty thought. Never mind saving the fuel for cooking. Save it for the red-smith. We need our weapons and armour mended - there's a war on!...
... Nor me, but I'm no expert on medieval/ancient warfare. Sieges generally lasted months, not years, didn't they? ... Sounds that way. Maybe they gather all...
... My memory is that the peat bogs of Ireland are relatively recent - they grew after the primary forest was cut down - and the requirements are 1 - poor...
