- The newest Knight of the Northern Outlands is Sir Titus Claudius
- Severus, although he doesn't use the "Sir" title, he uses a roman
- equivalent which I have conveniently forgotten at this time (darn it!).
- The baronial war shields of Unser Hafen are Roman Scutums (sp?), and
- looks and acts a heck of a lot like a Roman Cohort.
-
- So, go for it!
-
- As background, Titus's lady is a Celtic lady from Britain, and the two
- make a wonderful warring couple (she fights _very_ well). :-)
