The duchy where I was born... «Traitor's Blade»
RamingoWS27 февраля 2018The duchy where I was born is called Pertine. It is a small and simple place, largely ignored by the rest of Tristia. The word 'pertine' has a number of different meanings, but they all come from the flowre that grows on the leeward slopes of the mountain ranges that ring the region. It is an odd sort of bluish color, and you would call it bright at first, but then as you looked on it further, you`d find yourself adding words like 'oily' and 'runny-looking' and finally 'sort of disturbing'. The pertine has no known medicinal properties, it makes you sick if you eat it and it smells horrible once plucked from the ground. Needless to say, you`d have to be pretty stupid to make it the one thing people remember about your region. However, somewhere in the distant past, some warlord decided to pick one of these flowers, put it on his cloak and name this land of my birth 'Pertine'. I imagine he was born without a sense of smell.
