The legend has been passed down from generation to generation.
Legend has it that the ancestors came from far away, at the other end of the seas. A tribe of sailors would wander the seas, rarely setting foot.
But they grew tired of the sea, they wanted to see different things, experience different horizons. When they found the Milandes continent, they decided to stay on the land.
Having always been travelers, they couldn't just settle down like other humans, they transformed their boats into wagons and bred horses to pull said wagons.
They became a wandering Caravan, travelling from village to village, bringing news, goods and entertainment.
But Myrrhéa, the Goddess of the sea, tends to be extremely jealous. Seeing that the whole tribe had abandonned her, she put a curse on the Caravan. If any of the caravan goes out to sea, they will inevitably die; be it from a storm, an illness, a murder or a Kraken tentacle snatching them from the deck.
For this reason, the people of the Kumpanya tend to stay far away from open sea and any water-based monster; which are seen as messengers to the Goddess.

Gah!!!!
I'm so not good at keeping promises... I can't even update my blog regularly...
Oh well. Season started so now I'll have more people poking me to update more often.
The downside is that a lot of what I'd like to post is about secrets in my character's background. Secrets that I can't post here since other players read my blog.
Oh well.
On to posting!

Silence no more!
Ha, winter, the most horrible of seasons. Why you ask?
Because there are no LARPs!
But as the snow melts, as the dog turds surface, we are faced with a new hope.
Summer is coming soon, and so is LARP season!
As the sun comes back, I will be slowly going out of my ways to find new and interesting stuff for the LARP.
I already started going through my stuff, and I found out that I have way to many costumes that I will never wear... but at least I can help people in need of costumes!
Hurray for summer! I will begin posting again!

LARP Stew Recipe.
Third post of the day, because I need at least one LARP related post.
So here, have a recipe.
For those who LARP with me, this is the stew I always do, so you know what it tastes like.
Ingredients:
Meat (can ba pork, or beef, or venisson; cubed or ground, i guess you could even try fish if you want...)
Cabbage
Turnip
Onion
Potato
Mushrooms
Barley
Broth (I find chicken broth works great with pork and beef broth with beef.)
Herbs (not the smoking ones, the cooking ones, I use thyme and oregano, but it's also good with basil and majoram)
Fenron's secret ingredient (not telling what it is, you have to be a Fenron to know. but rest assured it is nothing gross.)
1- Soak the barley before you start anything, it takes an hour to soak.
2- Chop up the vegetables, I don't give any amounts because it is always purely arbitrary, when people ask me, I answer than I put some, or enough.
3- Put the veggies in a big pot and cover with broth. Bring to a boil.
4- Drain the barley and add it to the boiling vegetables.
5- Let the mix boil for at least 30 minutes, if you are using ground meat, make sure to cook it beforehand, cubes can go raw in the pot.
6- Add herbs and secret ingredient.
7- boil until the vegetables and barley are cooked to your liking. Be sure to keep an eye on the broth level, you might need to add some in the process.
There are two ways of serving it, in a soup fashion, where it is still very liquid, and in a goop fashion, where there is barely any liquid left.
The stew is easily reheated, but tends to be better in a soup fashion when it is. (Just add water and stir before reheating)
And that's it.
Bon Appetit!

R.I.P. to two very important people.
The month of January was very difficult for me and my sweetheart. Two very important people died, and one of them died yesterday.
The first to die was J, my love's grand-father. He was very old, his health had been going downhill for quite some time and caused him to abandon music, his passion, a few weeks before passing away. I'm a bit hazy on the details, but it was pneumonia that got to him in the end if I am not mistaken.
He was my love's best friend.
The other one was John, our cat. Not Legion, our other cat. The one we had before I found Legion. John (not his real name, but the name my ove used fr him on the interwebs) had skin cancer. We had it removed but it didn't heal correctly and he had a pouch of pus and blood that was created under his wound. We had no choice but to get him put down. It was a very sad moment that involved a lot of crying. I guess my love will be crying for most of the weekend. I can't blame him, John has been with him for over 10 years, through good and bad.
R.I.P. both of you, may musician heaven be an endless concert and cat heaven be full of sunbeams and lap.
