and templars as we know it were?

shiny perhaps but absofuckinglutly not "holy" or "good" :)

Assuming you mean the real templars and not my old guild... yes! :D Well.. we weren't "holy" either, but pretty good at least! Oh and the real templars were pretty good bankers too!

Since latin is automatically olde worlde and therfore roleplaying how about

'House Fridericus' or 'House Federicus'

Kind of like House Artreidies or House Harkonen.

Or Federicus Domus, or whatever the exact latin equivelant would be.

Latin isn't THE old world by the way, just part of it, and i doubt conans world was heavily influeced by it(from what i've seen), but the House Harkonnen style is rather fetching.

House also refers to family, closer, smaller group of people, sometimes with no agenda, just to be.

We could come up with a name, Freddy style, that is more "royal", add house to it, then we could easily implement it as our "founding father"(aka long dead), the prime lord and one who made our guild with Lord Deebs and such :)

The Romans came after Hyboria according to Howard's timeline :)

Conan was of course set in the real world!

Howard said:
The short, thick-limbed Etruscans, base of the Roman race, were descendants of a people of mixed Stygian, Hyrkanian and Pictish strains, and originally lived in the ancient kingdom of Koth.

Oh yes, i like Dune style

How about House Vasconcelos? It sounds medieval baby! :)

No seriously, House Fredderic / Freddericus / Frewhatever sounds great. Both for RP server or normal one.

Dune style ftw :) I agree with "House Federicus" best of the 2 imo

Apparently, in Howards world every western hyboria kingdom has a match in old europe, Hyborians being the race heir to the Atlanteans in their wide range of subraces, note the similarities and conections between some names:

Aquilonia is France.
Brythunia is well Britain (duh! :p )
Argos and Corinthia is Greece
Asgard is Sweeden/Denmark/Norway etc... (Asgard like in nordic mythology)
Cimmeria are the celts (in its wide atlantic variety: britain/ireland; north of france and north of spain, etc..)
Shem is Israel
Pictish are the Scotts (the picts from the north i guess, im not too fond of english history)
Hyperborea being the eslavians (Russia, Baltic nations etc...)
Nemedia is Germany
Zingara might be something like Spain/Portugal/Italy mixed (in beta the zingarian NPCs are always traders/navigators)

and some other i cant recall. I have Howards books sumwhere in a library might go and check :p

House Fredicus has the rrrrr in there to give it rrrrr and it's short+potent.

And it's not too much into latin, english or nordic. It's a mix really.

"Asgard is Sweeden/Denmark/Norway etc... (Asgard like in nordic mythology)"

Hmh...just hmh! :eek:

I thought the Cimmerians would be more like Danes/South Sweden, considering the Cimbrian tribes that lived there seems to have donated their name to them. Fins can be the Aesir, that's cool. :p

Might be, one cannot fathom into Howards mind, which seemed to be very weird and sometimes in the edge of racism (his fixation with Hyboreans and such) from my pov.

Yes indeed. And the way he describes Kushites is very much in lieu with how the white man saw the world at that time.

To the extend that iirc he separates his world in

Hyborean Kingdoms

Black Kingdoms

Middle and Far East Kingdoms

And guess what races were in each of 'em


On the other hand, some of the stories in his books are class stuff, one of my favs being The Scarlet Citadel: awesome

What about making an own lore thread? :) Let's try decide or get more name suggestions. hehe

I liked House Frederick, it sounds special and I like the Dune-ish / A song of ice and fire theme of it. Or maybe some other House ... version ? It might fit RP-wise with Aquilonia, being a saintly or corrupt noble house.

House of the Rising Fredrick?

Or would that bring the thoughts to pr0n? :confused:


Anyway.. if we are to use Fred**** in any form, I think "Fredicus" sounded the best, by far.
