IL Y A 1140 ANS | Siège de Paris par les Normands ➽ http://bit.ly/Siege-Paris-Normands
Le 25 novembre 885, sous la conduite du roi viking Sigfried, des navires normands en nombre assiègent Paris, défiant la bravoure du comte Eudes et de l’évêque Gozlin. Durant treize mois, la cité résista héroïquement à huit assauts successifs avant que Charles le Gros rachetât la paix par l’or, précipitant le déclin carolingien et ouvrant la voie aux Capétiens
Okay so while working on the modern short for the Quest Bois I started thinking about the foundation. Eventually they would find out about Chesne and Eudes. Right? They would have too. The summoning "ritual" is super simple and definitely more common as books of "fairy tales" are put into print and circulated around the world. Id think that Chesne and Eudes would start as like local myth whose story moves outwards, kinda like the Rumpelstiltskin story or king Arthur's tales (but not as famous as either of those. Maybe a better example would be snow white and rose red or dapplegrim)
More under cut I ramble.... And spoilers I guess? Ehhhhh
I guess I should write out some clarification and then walk through my thoughts. Putting this out there (with the potential for change) cause it is world building and I want to.
So Chesne and Eudes' method of going from place to place where they are summoned in modern times is a small metal band with runes that each have around one ankle hidden in their boots. All they have to do is ride around a corner and they appear back home, which at this point is Rets cave, which is more of a series of connected cave "rooms" and "halls". Then to go elsewhere they ride through the stable rooms exit and appear where the summoning has happened.
As their story is published more places, they are more likely to get accidental summonings. Also kids talk. Got scared of dark and saved by cool knights? Tell your friends. Then tell your own kids when u get old. So they only grow in serious and accidental summonings.
Someone is bound to notice, from the Foundation I mean. Two dudes riding horses, wearing armor? With repeat appearances in a wide variety of places with many witnesses? Pretty much a red flag.
So the questions are as follows.
1) How long will it take for the Foundation to take note and try to act?
2) Can they capture both at once?
(if one gets away they are going back for the other)
3) Do Chesne and Eudes ever run into the Foundation and find out about them before they are found out?
4) What would be the Foundations first move?
5) Can Eudes and Chesne figure out a way to differentiate summonings from those in real need and and the summonings from the Foundation?
It's a lotta questions that my brain can't act on. This is why I could never write an actual article. Too much ヘ(。□°)ヘ confusion. Mmmm. (Also their just silly little oc children of mine. Not strong enough to fly from the nest. Babies) I am very mmmm.
Chesne and Eudes, I am in need of help. Some crooked-nosed knave in my community is using the drive up book return as a trash can. I need you to track down this fopdoodle and teach him some manners. The librarians will be eternally grateful. We will gladly name the next animal some sot drops in there after you. 😭
Eudes: Think Ret will let us borrow the rings of Hephaestus?
Chesne: I hope so! Then we can have really loud voices and scare the pants of the offender. A few scares and a little threat be enough to resolve the issue. Or!!
Eudes: Or?
Chesne: Ankles are made for hanging.
Eudes: Agreed. Also, we would be honored for an animal to share our name, but I hope people do not often drop them in where books are ment to go.
