+ | ===== Background & Notes ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Noose was born in Canterus. His father was shipwrecked and drowned when he was three; he also had a younger brother who died in early infancy. He doesn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | After the prescribed (read: socially obligatory) year of solemn mourning was over Noose' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Within six months they were married; Noose, then aged five, resented this interloper who monopolised his Ma's time and attention. He'd never had to share her before! And worse was yet to come. Not a year later she showed him a red, squalling monkey and told him proudly he had a little brother. This baby took up even more of her time. Moreover, at six he was expected to help on the farm. It was his lot to feed the chickens and gather the eggs; to weed the garden and bring the hands their drinkings in the field...in short, to do the dozens of tasks that a bright and healthy boy was well able to manage (and woe to him if he shirked his chores; Cathal was not a particularly hard man, but he was a strict one. He expected industry, obedience and respect, and--unlike Noose' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Another half-brother followed when he was eight; at eleven, a sister; at thirteen, another brother... His mother was blooming, delighted by her growing family. She didn't love Noose less than his half-siblings...but she didn't love him more either. Cathal held him in austere affection and treated him well. As long as Noose followed his rules they got along, and even when he didn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | His mother wept when he made his intention known, but Cathal was surprisingly understanding. "I won't say you won't be missed. You will be--damnably. You're your mother' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cathal kept his word. Clad in his new winter suit, with all his other possession in a sack slung over one shoulder, Noose and his stepfather travelled to the nearest harbour town worthy of the name. Half a dozen merchanters were tied up at the piers--coasters and cogs, caravels and proud galleons--but Cathal spotted a tubby ship near the end of the wharf, smiled broadly, and unhesitatingly headed toward her. Noose had his doubts; she was a cog, old and rather shabby, despite showing signs of recent loving restoration. As they came within earshot Cathal shouted, " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once he overcame his initial seasickness, | ||
+ | |||
+ | They were three days out of Rosheen heading southwest to Bellethiel when disaster struck. The old //Pig// was set upon by pirates, minotaurs from Gersin. (The Typeneth merchants, also known as The Island League, are seafarers rivalled only by the dwarves from Tanalok. Minotaurs are an arrogant people; their society regards humans, elves, and dwarves as just so many marks, existing only so that they can be bled dry or enslaved for minotaurean benefit. At best piracy is winked at; more often it is openly condoned as good business, provided the victims are members of the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | The next sixteen months were horrible beyond his worst imaginings. Minotaurs are heavy, hooved, and frequently very ungainly; riggings were not for them. Calves could manage the climb, but humans and dwarves could do it better...and what else were slaves for, if not to spare their superiors burdensome labour? Noose and his friends were chivvied up into the ropes with whips made to welt thick bullhide; they cut delicate skin like swords. Their choices were obey or die in agony; mostly they did what they were told, however resentfully, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Their ordeal finally ended on a day that had promised still more shame and degradation. The // | ||
+ | |||
+ | Or almost. The slaves were questioned under spell to determine their complicity. Once they were exonerated, they were treated with a consideration that stopped just short of open pity. The tempting decoy had more pirates to trap, but within a few days a relief ship rendezvoused with them. The decoy was reprovisioned and the former slaves--Noose, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The journey to Opsted was swift and pleasant. Military vessel she might be, with her decks holystoned and her brightwork shining, but still Noose was reminded of his first days at sea; like the good old //Pig//, the //General Geißbach// was a " | ||
