The Newcago Court

Oh, very. If thou insists, we can settle for her being queen of the seventeenth forum instead.

Qualify your titles.

I find your lack of respect for boundaries disturbing.

If you said, Queen of the Seventeenth Ice Mountains or Icelands then it would have been more acceptable.

Here take a Chwaffle. It was made with you in mind.

Unsure if I'm being upvoted for my suggestion or my obliviousness, but I'm guessing it's the obliviousness.

The seventeen lands of Everwinter?

Much better. Good work!

And I noticed something.

Did you just apply a soulstamp to yourself? You're gender is now female!

Does this mean I cannot call you Knave...but Vixen?

EDIT: Looks like your Gender is back to Male. The stamp didn't take.

The title of Queenmaker has many meanings.

Some meanings are less obvious than others.

You create your own queen? How abominable. Do you use the dead souls of others to create the steel heart for her and the bodies of deceased ones to give her her cold body?

[Quiver he/him]

Of course not!

The souls are quite alive.

...is what I would say were there any truth to these foul rumours. Which there is not. Of course. I mean, me making a Queen with which to supplant Elsa and rule Newcago? How absurd. You crazy.

What Hemalurgic monstrosity is this Queen Elsa? I'm disgusted.

[Quiver he/him]

Queen Elsa is no hemalurgic Frankenstein!

Yet. Though I may employ forgery instead.

Besides, I recall it's thy monstress who bewitches herself with a glamour to conceal the spikes within her eyes. Thy have a old sense of proprietary, Mialliw!

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Mialliw? Who could that be? Quiver, I believe you're getting old. You're talking to people who don't even exist.

Our lady Feather does so to keep people from being afraid at first sight. We didn't give her the spikes, the Admins did.

Psst. "Thou hast" an old sense of proprietary. "Thy" is in the possessive case. 

 

That will be all. Go back to your duel.

[Quiver he/him]

(I'm not the only one who is starting to consider this faction thing an epic saga, right?)

An interesting argument Mailliw; she conceals her true visage to lure unwitting victims closer to her, before inducting them into her Feathercult.

Truly, she is a most considerate monstress, not to warn her prey of her true identity beforehand.

*coughs* you=thou, your=thy, you are=thou art, etc. Thou is for parent to child, spouses/significant others or someone you are very close to/familiar with, as well as to indicate that the person is beneath you in rank, so it can be rather insulting. Use it wisely.        :{D *disappears*

I hadn't heard that "thou" rule. How would you refer to an equal or a superior in Ye Olde Speech?

[MozytheHealer she/her]

So, 'you' was originally the plural form of the word. Kings, because they were considered to represent the entire kingdom, were referred to as 'you'(in a similar vein as the royal 'We'). So, that's how that started. Eventually it morphed into 'you' was used for superiors, or anyone you weren't personally familiar with. 'Thou' was used for people that were beneath you, or people you were extremely familiar with. Like, if a man and woman went from saying 'you' to each other to saying 'thou', you knew something was up. ;{D 

 

Did that make sense?

Yes, that explains a lot! Thanks. Are there any resources you can recommend where I can learn more about this?

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Quiver, we all know her true identity, she uses the disguise to make the more squeamish folk more comfortable around her. Unlike your queen, before today, everyone knew what Feather was. No one knew these nasty truths about Elsa until now.

[Quiver he/him]

Indeed, nasty 'truths' spread by thou! I can assure thee, Elsa is a perfectly 'ordinary' human.

For now.

[Left he/him]

I was about to defend the wonderful Queen, but it appears that the Knave got here first. Upvote for being quicker to the defense.

There be not anything "nasty" about our Queen. She just happens to dislike acquiring steelhearts by any means other than thievery.

[Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her]

A human with the powers of ice and snow.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Queen Elsa, are you not aware of the secret monstrosity you are? If you look back a page, Quiver confirmed that he made you from living souls.

The past is in the past.

It does not matter how I was made, what matters is now.

Now I am Queen.

[MozytheHealer she/her]

I hate to interrupt, but souls???!!!!! Which, I am sure, means that the original holders of those souls are dead, which you have to admit is just a tad creepy. Not that I'm taking a side here. I'm merely stating a fact.
