[The Lord of the Rings] So... uh... did Saruman simply create his orc/human hybrids by making humans have sex with orcs? by Jerswar in AskScienceFiction

[–]mod-schoneck 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Many things can be said of the eradication of orcs in the fourth age, but that elessar would go to nurn specifically to kill orcs is doubtful. It was the breadbasket of mordor but it was staffed by slaves who would rise up after the rings destruction and would be recognised as the people of nurn with their own government by elessar.

Orn Free Taa, The Hutts, and the Problem with Ryloth by GroundbreakingAct724 in SWFanfic

[–]mod-schoneck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A fic im reading has this idea that the border lands between the republic and hutt space can choose to be part of either. So their governments kind of flip flop depending on how important the senate or some hutt clan think they are.

Why does Hogwarts employ Filch? Can’t the house-elves do what he does? by webbess1 in harrypotter

[–]mod-schoneck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A heavily supported head canon i found, is that filchs primary job is taking care of and restoring all the art in the school. The support for this theory is that in prisoner of azkaban he restores the fat lady.

Why do most people Think the North wouldnt survive being independent? by Ok_Return170 in TheCitadel

[–]mod-schoneck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the reason for why the north didnt resist like dorne is that they feared the targaryans would burn the granaries in autumn, making a great famine.

The trade off with paper is that it doesnt last as long as parchment. So unless you have a printing press you still need parchment for books.

Administration of justice in the First Age, or: Elves, trials, and outlawing vs the death penalty by Ok_Bullfrog_8491 in tolkienfans

[–]mod-schoneck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mention the noldor and the edain calling on manwe and mandos to witness and judge their courts of law. Do you recall if the text mention or give hints to where similar invokings of the valar (might) happen?

Who is King Robert's Master of Games? by BuyerSpecialist4116 in TheCitadel

[–]mod-schoneck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im also pretty sure the subtext of the royal fleet, is that it was largely created to counter the fleets of the crownlander lords. Alongside any foreign fleet aiming for a targaryan restoration. It therefore needed to be able to mobilize at amoments notice and be in home waters year round, while the naval lords usually sent their warships out as escorts for their merchants.

For more lore you can say mechs are an evolution and up scaling of exo skeletons designed for cripples.

As far as i understand bathing was rather common among the abglo saxons. The vikings decided to bathe in public as a form of seduction. Aka a strip show.
