Waitasec, the writeup Ichi posted and Sigurd's actual writeup (as per the story thread) don't match. What gives?

I googled the last line of the night write-up. That joke was the first thing that came up.

Hmm. I missed the reference to Constantinople earlier. Perhaps Rythmic was a missionary of sorts? Either way, he was clearly not a norseman.

[GeneralHankerchief]

What about that lair of the demons place he mentioned? Is that a Christian thing too?

I'd look it up myself, but I'm too lazy/tired. See you all tomorrow.

Hmm. Gehenna's a Jewish term for where the wicked were sent after death. He visited Constantinople prior to coming to Iceland. Constantinople was renowned for its wealth, and the goods which flowed through it. Jews, unlike Christians and Muslims, were not forbidden from charging interest, and hence, many filled the roles of merchants and bankers.

So, my hypothesis is that Rythmic was a Jewish merchant. Now, I have absolutely no idea what that would mean in terms of the game, however.

[Csargo]

He keeps saying he forgot his cross in Sofia. I have no idea what he means.

So you're a Bulgarian Jew/Orthodox christian/Rus merchant from Constantinople
