Although a cat was definitely trying to help me take this photo, it did not end up being a photo of a cat.

So these days I'm remembering my love for the Gentleman Bastard series
And digging up some info on Vadrans given by Scott Lynch I just found this line of pure gold. "The platonic ideal of the Vadran marriage is a partner gifted in arms and a partner gifted in subterfuge." And suddenly I can't stop cackling??? Ok Sabetha must have been quite something up there being excellent at both. I want ALL the stories of the things she got away with at first by being simply dazzling to them and then what happened when she met her match. But. Jean and Locke? Jean and Locke??? The perfect Vadran married couple??? I can't WAIT for the jokes and misunderstandings and the precious moment in which they just let them assume. "Partner? You mean your husband?" *sighs "Yes, him." Forget about the Gentlemen Bastards or the Thorn of Camorr nonsense. They are gonna be The power couple and it will give me LIFE.

Somnay Canton within the Marrows, where the action starts. Sketch map.
The Kingdom of the Seven Marrows (so named for the seven major rivers emptying into the White Iron Sea that Vadrans of old used as points of navigation. Sketch map.
Yeah hello hi my friend’s band Vetten Äpärät has their debut album out and it doesn’t cease to amuse me how Vadran it all is (band name means ‘Bastards of the Waters’, the opening track is ‘Ancients’ Call’, it’s folk metal, etc etc) and you should look them up on spotify and give them a listen okay? <3
ATTENTION GB FANDOM : VADRAN ALERT
I was wondering : if Emberlain is as large a city as Camorr or Tal Verrar are, it must be, what, maximum 150 000 inhabitants, right ?
But : the Marrows. The Seven Marrows. How many Vadrans do you think there is the Marrows ? All of them ? 2 millions Vadrans ? More ? Less ? And all these people going to war against each other ?
SPOILER ! Who will won the war in the Seven Marrows ?
In theory, I think it could be the Strada family. Because we know that the graf von Somnay (Akeil Strada) is married with the Grafine von Eidrevasen (Elzebane Dvorim). And we also know that the graf von Emberlain is the cousin of the graf von Somnay and of the graf von Parlay. Conclusion, they have the control of...4/7 cantons. Or 4/8 if we count Vintila. Even if the graf von Emberlain doesn’t have any longer the control of this Marrows (because of the Black Table), we also know that according Locke-talking-as-Fehrwright he could win against the Black Table. And even without Emberlain, it still make 3/7 or 3/8. Good position if we compares to the other alliance (Strig and Razul) who looks like only controlling 2 Marrows. (I think it is another alliance. Because we learn in TLOLL + by the informations gives here by scottlynch78 that the Stradas and the Dvorims are friends).
