[OOC] Fate/Crimson Dusk

[vancexentan]

Anyone going to follow up on Parallel anytime soon?

[ItMeGritty]

We can skip forward to the summoning if ya like. I got nothing else to post

[King Cosmos]

I was going to write a post, but anything I have to say at this point would just be to push us towards the summoning.

Honestly, I don't see any reason why we can't just skip ahead to when we arrive at the base in Poland. Unless anyone has something they want to do before that point?

[Parallel Hearts]

On my end, we can move right ahead, for sure.

I don't think there's anything else to do before arriving straight on the base since we could just assume that everyone knows everything about all Servants, unless one of them is feeling like keeping secrets.

@Parallel Hearts

Asmar is not saying anything about Assassin. Take that as you will.

[vancexentan]

@King Cosmosbecause we have summoning summoning to do ill timeskip later after I get home from Godzilla

[Flood]

So does this mean we can move on to the battlefield then?

[King Cosmos]

@floodtalon We're still expected to summon our Servants first, I believe.

[Reflection]

I'll try and get a post out within the next two days. Just rather tired lately.

[vancexentan]

@floodtalon When on earth did I mention anything about fighting? Literally none of us are in Poland unless we teleported. The time skip is coming after the summoning, and the initial meet and greet of the servants. we're going to arrive in Poland, introduce us to the priests in the church, THEN the initial fights with the Grey Family, and their allies starts.

@King Cosmos Has the right of the matter.

@Reflection Alright Reflection I hope you're doing alright.

@vancexentan

I suppose things are just moving a bit slow for my liking. Oh well, I suppose I have no choice but to wait on everyone else.

[King Cosmos]

Does anyone know roughly when Brynhildr lost her divinity and was cursed? I'm trying to figure out to what degree she and Berserker would be aware of each other, or at least to what degree she would know of him.

Though, Harald escorted himself to Valhalla for what it's worth. He wasn't collected by a Valkyrie like most.

[vancexentan]

I'm pretty sure she lost it when she chose to marry Sigurd.

@vancexentan

She got banished and demoted to mortal by Odin way before she met Sigurd. It was after she supported a human king that was supposed to lose a battle against another king who was blessed by Odin.

When Sigurd awoke Bryn from her slumber she was already a mortal for a long time.

You can find it all on her description in the wiki, though the full details are on Prototype Fragments which is certainly hard to get.

[Parallel Hearts]

Apologies if there are any above average number of typos in my last post. I squeezed sometime to post it as quickly as possible in order to help us move forward soon, but I didn't have time to review it at the moment.

If there's anything hard to understand, please let me know.

[vancexentan]

Alright thanks for the info I've been taking it easy today so I apologize for not reading the wiki.

I'll read through the post later as its currently late at night where I am at.

[King Cosmos]

I know the basics of Brynhildr's story but I couldn't find anything that suggested when it happened, in terms of what year or even what century.

I'm mostly just trying to figure out if Bryn was still a Valkyrie when Harald lived, ruled and died and whether she would have any idea of who he was because of her duties. It's not important, since Berserker won't show her any recognition either way, just wondering.

@King Cosmos

Oh, I see. Well, Bryn was banished before the end of the Age of the Gods for sure, otherwise Odin wouldn't be meddling in the affairs of the mortals as directly as he does in her backstory. Or at least I think this must be the case since you know... the Nasuverse likes to be vague about lots of things.

Either way what's certain is that Sigurd's story takes place around the the tail end of the 5th, to beginning of the 6th century. No matter how you look at it, Bryn was sleeping under Odin's curse for at least a few centuries before her beloved knight came to wake her up.

Nevertheless, if Harald ever fought with Sigurd (as his backstory states) it's more or less certain that they would know one another. Bryn was a really well known figure during that time, after all. Plus, her armor and spear are canonically made of mythril, a metal that doesn't exist on this world but anyone involved with Norse mythology probably should be able to recognize on sight.

Brynhildr is really a super distinguished figure in the lore.

@Parallel Hearts

Hmm, that's a good point but it does make things a little bit iffy as far as Harald's backstory is concerned. He supposedly received divine guidance from Odin before all of his battles which allowed him to win decisively each time despite the fact that he lived in what should be the Age of Man, having been born in the 7th century.

@Parallel Hearts

That was a different Sigurd; Sigurd Hring, father of Ragnor Lodbrok. Harald was king of Sweden and Denmark during the 8th century, so after the time Brynhildr was still around and well after when she was still taking warriors to Valhalla from the sounds of it.

@Parallel Hearts

Harald would absolutely know who Brynhildr was, as I expect most vikings would, although given his current mental state it's likely a bit of a moot point. He's not a raving madman all of the time though, so maybe there will be some recognition there.

Thanks for the input.

I woke up with a case of really bad vertigo ill try to post later but no guarantee
