Insignia: A skull caught in roughly star-shaped crosshairs Flagship: Saethseren ` History: Once, Cadarn had been a beautiful world, with glorious shining cities built upon mountaintops connected by great hovering bridges. The people lived in harmony with the various creatures of the crags and cave systems, protected and tended to by a vast array of robotic servants and guardians. The collapse of their society was almost inevitable. One of the cities, Caerllamph, unleashed a virus that made the robotic servants of other cities act violently towards human life in an attempt to become the dominant state on the planet. Although they kept their synthetics protected from the virus, the constant unwavering assaults from the rogue robots eventually broke through their defences and consigned them to the same fate. The remnants of humanity upon Cadarn were forced to eke out a pathetic life, scavenging the ruins of the charnel-cities, constantly migrating whilst watching for predators such as Starhawks or dwelling in caves at the mercy of Blindwyrms and other beasts. One such clan, a family who haunted mountain peaks in search of birds’ nests to raid, discovered the pod that carried Gwyliroth. They raised him as their own, but even at a young age he was very different. Where they were cowardly and frightened, he was bold and fearless. Where they carried little more than ropes and climbing gear, he made himself a great longbow out of lattanwood with arrows as long as a man's arm fletched with starhawk feathers. He began to hunt animals, bringing well-needed nourishment to his egg-eating clan. One day, he returned from a hunt to find his clan massacred, hunted down by one of the rogue robots they had evaded for so long. The mechanical monstrosity stood hunched over their bodies like some ghoul of legend. In a heartbeat, he had drawn his bow and loosed an arrow into its head, destroying the primitive positronic brain. As he tore the body apart to make what use of the components he could, he swore that no more would suffer as he had. Over the next twenty years, he travelled the planet, killing every robot he came across. He directed clans he found towards one of the first cities he cleared out; telling them that there was strength in unity. With him as their watchful guardian, the people of Cadarn prospered once more. When the Emperor found Cadarn, Gwyliroth gladly joined his side at the head of the First Legion, renaming them as the Astral Sentries 'to keep a watchful eye on all the stars of the galaxy, to keep the Imperium safe from her enemies.' Throughout the Great Crusade, the First Legion made an exceptional accounting of itself, bringing the third highest number of worlds into the Imperium after the Hounds and the Bearers. They brought down the Interex when diplomacy failed, and many of them adopted the powerful energy-bows of their foe - not least of all Gwyliroth who claimed the largest and most powerful for himself. Their loyalty to the Emperor was so renowned that the traitors never even considered trying to turn them to their side - not least because of Gwyliroth and the Cadarnites'

  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

  • Warrior-Bishops In
    WARRIOR-BISHOPSIN LA CHANSON DE ROLAND AND POWA DE MI0 CID EARL R. ANDERSON ARCHBISHOP TURPIN, THE fighting bishop in La Chanson de Roland, is a character whose behavior and attitudes are contrary to modem assumptions about what a medieval clergyman should have been. The poet's first mention of him, it is true, represents him in a role that is consistent with conventional views about the clergy: he volunteers to travel to Marsilion's court as Charlemagne's peace ambassador (264-73)-but so do the barons Naimon, Roland, and Olivier (246-58). In each subsequent appearance in the poem, however, Brpin accompanies the Frankish rearguard not as a peaceable messenger of the Prince of Peace but more and more as one of Charlemagne's most ferocious warriors. In his "sermun" at Roncevaux, he admonishes the Franks to fight, "Chrestientet aidez a sustenir" '[to] help to sustain the Christian faith' (1129), and "Clamez vos culpes, si preiez Deumercit" 'confess your sins, and pray to God for mercy' (1132), and he promises absolution for sins in exchange for military service, and martyrdom in exchange for death on the battlefield (1134-38). He rides to battle on a horse once owned by Grossaille, a king whom he had killed in Denmark (1488-89). During the course of battle, Tbrpin kills the Berber Corsablix, the enchanter Siglorel, the African Malquiant, the infernally-named Saracen Abisme, and four hundred others, elsewhere striking a War, Literature, and the Arts thousand blows (1235-60, 1390-95, 1414, 1470-1509, 1593-1612, 2091-98). lbrpin and Roland are the last of the Franks to die in the battle.

  • THE ORIGINS of the “Mccrackens”
    THE ORIGINS OF THE “McCrackens” By Philip D. Smith, Jr. PhD, FSTS, GTS, FSA Scot “B’e a’Ghaidhlig an canan na h’Albanaich” – “Gaelic was the language of the Scottish people.” The McCrackens are originally Scottish and speakers of the Scottish Gaelic language, a cousin to Irish Gaelic. While today, Gaelic is only spoken by a few thousands, it was the language of most of the people of the north and west of Scotland until after 1900. The McCracken history comes from a long tradition passed from generation to generation by the “seannachies”, the oral historians, of the Gaelic speaking peoples. According to tradition, the family is named for Nachten, Lord of Moray, a district in the northeast of Scotland. Nachten supposedly lived in the 9th century. In the course of time a number of his descendants moved southwest across Scotland and settled in Argyll. The family multiplied and prospered. The Gaelic word for “son” is “mac” and that for “children” is “clann” The descendants of Nachten were called by their neighbors, the Campbells, MacDougalls, and others the “Children of the Son of Nachten”, in Gaelic “Cloinne MacNachtain”, “Clan MacNachtan”. Spelling was not regularized in either Scotland or America until well after 1800. Two spellings alternate for the guttural /k/-like sound common in many Gaelic words, -ch and –gh. /ch/ is the most common Scottish spelling but the sound may be spelled –gh. The Scottish word for “lake” is “loch” while in Northern England and Ireland the same word is spelled “lough”. “MacLachlan” and “Mac Loughlin” are the same name as are “Docherty” and “Dougherty”.

  • LINCOLN and the COPPERHEADS in the CIVIL WAR in January 1863
    SNAKES LURKING IN THE GRASS: LINCOLN AND THE COPPERHEADS IN THE CIVIL WAR In January 1863, Abraham Lincoln was confronted with a threat more dangerous than that of the Confederate Army. The Union Army was visibly struggling toward victory with each passing battle and it seemed as if the war was far from concluding. Lincoln’s problems were not just limited to the battlefield, but the president was also burdened in dealing with intense opposition toward his government on the homefront. The threat was the Copperhead movement: Congressional Democrats were banning together in opposition to the war and proposing immediate peace through negotiations with the Confederacy. The Copperhead challenge came at an uneasy period in Lincoln’s presidency as the American public became more hostile towards the war effort. Numerous setbacks for the Union troops and the hardships of the war at home wore at the patience of many Americans and the President himself. The Copperheads took advantage of the public agitation by attacking Lincoln’s actions and character while deeming his expansion of power as unconstitutional and dangerous. Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus and use of martial law agitated this political opposition. The Copperheads were successful in gaining support before the election of 1864 through their attacks on Lincoln’s perceived abuse of civil liberties and expansion of power; however, Lincoln’s ability to lead the nation in troubling times, as well as a turn in the tide of the war, prevented the election of a Copperhead president and exposed the weaknesses of the movement. The supporters of the Copperhead movement were quite varied and diverse.

  • “Messengers of Justice and of Wrath”: the Captivity
    ―Messengers of Justice and of Wrath‖: The Captivity-Revenge Cycle in the American Frontier Romance A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Brian P. Elliott June 2011 © 2011 Brian P. Elliott. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled ―Messengers of Justice and of Wrath‖: The Captivity-Revenge Cycle in the American Frontier Romance by BRIAN P. ELLIOTT has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Paul C. Jones Associate Professor of English Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT ELLIOTT, BRIAN P., Ph.D., June 2011, English ―Messengers of Justice and of Wrath‖: The Captivity-Revenge Cycle in the American Frontier Romance Director of Dissertation: Paul C. Jones This project explores the central importance of captivity and revenge to four novels in the genre of frontier romance: Charles Brockden Brown‘s Edgar Huntly (1799), James Fenimore Cooper‘s Last of the Mohicans (1826), Catharine Maria Sedgwick‘s Hope Leslie (1827), and Robert Montgomery Bird‘s Nick of the Woods (1837). Although a fundamental plot aspect of nearly every work in the genre, the threat of captivity and the necessity of revenge are rarely approached as topics of inquiry, despite their deep connection to the structure and action of the texts. Perhaps most importantly, as critics Jeremy Engels and Greg Goodale note, these twin tropes serve as a way of unifying disparate social groups and creating order; in essence, such depictions function as a form of what Michel Foucault terms ―governmentality,‖ logics of control that originate from non-governmental sources but promote systems of governance.

  • The Move in the Second Tetralogy from Heraldic Achievements And
    The Second Tetralogy’s Move from Achievements to Badges Ceri Sullivan, Cardiff University In passionate response to the king’s insistence that the crown should get any prisoners of war, Hotspur famously reaches for the moon: By heaven, methinks it were an easy leap To pluck bright honour from the pale-faced moon, Or dive into the bottom of the deep... And pluck up drowned honour by the locks, So he that doth redeem her thence might wear, Without corrival, all her dignities. But out upon this half-faced fellowship! (1 Henry IV 1.3.200-207)1 Most comment follows Northumberland and Worcester in thinking Hotspur is spouting ‘a world of figures/… But not the form of what he should attend’ (1.3.208-9). It gets called empty huffing, suitable for an apprentice’s audition piece, as in the Induction to The Knight of the Burning Pestle (c. 1607). The lines do not seem to require much more: ‘bright honour’ is a conventional collocation in the sixteenth century (here, shining like the disc of the moon) and ‘drowned honour’ is a hairy personification, perhaps a bit muddy from lying around on the bottom. In either state, the honour (a concrete dignity) should be captured and worn by one man alone. The only historical gloss editors offer is a suggestion that ‘half-faced’ may refer to the paired profiles of Philip and Mary on the Marian shilling. Leslie Hotson noted a reference to the Percy badge: the crescent moon.2 However, he did not point out that the Percy silver crescent moon usually encloses a fetterlock (a double manacle, which locks two fists together).

  • Guyana Feb 20 Trip Report
    Guyana: Unspoiled Wilderness | Trip Report February 17 - 29, 2020 | Written by Dave Mehlman With Guides Ron Allicock and Dave Mehlman, and participants Chris, Cindy, Kathy, Mike, Nancy, and Steve Naturalist Journeys, LLC | Caligo Ventures PO Box 16545 Portal, AZ 85632 PH: 520.558.1146 | 866.900.1146 Fax 650.471.7667 naturalistjourneys.com | caligo.com [email protected] | [email protected] The battle cry for this trip was surely Ron’s constant call of “come, come, come” as he continually found new and amazing things for us to see and photograph. We were all personally saddened that two participants were not able to make it at the last minute due to an injury on the trip down; we hope they will be able to reschedule and experience all that we saw. All went well on our travels, though the final itinerary was changed from what had been sent out due to complications on availability at some of the lodges. Ron and his capable staff and all those working at the lodges (Surama Ecolodge, Atta Rainforest Lodge, Rock View Lodge, Caiman House, Manari Ranch) made our trip smooth and enjoyable and one that we will treasure for a long time. Mon, Feb. 17 Arrivals in Guyana | Georgetown Arriving at zero-dark-thirty in the morning, everyone gradually straggled in for breakfast at the Cara Lodge Hotel in downtown Georgetown. After meeting and greeting, all had a chance to relax and rest for most of the day. With the help of Francis, our local transportation logistics expert, some of the early arrivals (Chris, Cindy, Kathy, Steve) went with Dave in the late afternoon to the Georgetown Botanical Garden for a head start on the birds of Guyana at this birder, and photographer-friendly site.

  • Piloting Through Chaos Is on Negotia- Tion, but the Analysis and Wisdom Go Well Beyond That Now Available in the Literature [On Negotiation]
    “The emphasis throughout Piloting Through Chaos is on negotia- tion, but the analysis and wisdom go well beyond that now available in the literature [on negotiation]. This volume is a breakthrough in the use of words, thought processes and managing human behav- ior responsibly.” Oliver Oldman Learned Hand Professor (Emeritus) Harvard Law School “IPOs in China and Japan, inventions in clean energy, decod- ing Japanese negotiation strategies, incubators for creativity and innovation, the role of beauty in discovery and bringing ideas to market—Julian Gresser is a Renaissance man with an amazing array of achievements and gifts. He has written a truly original and helpful book with his own hard-won understandings about how innovation can be incubated. Read it, it will enlarge your mind and you will discover your own capacity to do such things. It will grow with you and interact with your discoveries as you make them, tak- ing them to a higher level.” John Tarrant Zen master, author, Bring Me the Rhinoceros and other works “Mark Twain said, ‘You can’t depend on your eyes if your imag- ination is out of focus.’ In Piloting Through Chaos, Julian Gresser helps us to dream a better future and carefully outlines the steps needed to get there. Brilliantly written and meticulously researched, Gresser warns that we cannot achieve justice and abundance as individuals but only through collaboration, innovation, and fear- less exploration of our own depths. And always, he reminds us, with kindness. Gresser is an international attorney, but also a 21st Century Renaissance Man, with a lifetime of experience in business, music, martial arts, invention, and meditation.
