I used to be an Adventurer like you before I took an arrow in the knee

Apparently taking an arrow in the knee was an old nordic slang for getting married

... You don't happen to live in Adelaide, Australia do you? :rofl: A friend showed me this this morning, and we've been talking about it ever since. Weird coincidence!

But yeah, how awesome is that?! I guess marriage is the one thing that can stop an adventurer in his/her tracks.

Discussion threads can't really be rated 'reputable' :tongue:

People see something posted, start their own thread and it goes around and around - doesn't mean there's proof.

Unless it's information on the website of a university, an encyclopaedia, or a well known organization, for example, it's hearsay without sources.

Okay, until different sources turn up, this can close before a lot of spam accumulates.
