Active Jarl Freya Lonmar

[Lannis]

Is it because she could've gotten married long before that anyway?

First bit is also true.
Second bit was considered true at the time.
But still, no.

Oh, this is such fun.

She's now considered as an adult? All I could find in direct relation to the age of sixteen.

Been there, done that.

 

[Lannis]

Been there, done that.

Welp.
*Dives back in to dat lore*

 

[MRPolo13]

I was expecting more feminist attacks~. ^-^
Let me just state that this isn't my actual point of view, before any one indulges in butthurt.

 

[Faelin]

Polo was close to it in the lore, but on the wrong lines~!

 

[Kvothe]

Only in this case, or else in extreme circumstances might a child be deemed an adult before time.

Freya leading the Norvägen might be such an extreme circumstance?

 

[Faelin]

Getting warmer. You get 2 points for that.

Or, should I say, hotter and colder.

 

[Spark]

She is now allowed out after 8?

 

[Kvothe]

She doused her head in cold water AND held her hand to a flame, marking her transition from child to adult?

 

[Faelin]

-100082 for you.

*Tilts head, a grin worthy of a certain Cheshire cat stretching from ear to ear*
5 points.

Hotter and colder, hotter and colder~!

 

[Kvothe]

I got 7 points, I'm done sifting through the lore, checking what everything MIGHT mean .

Yeah well I got 100082! Try and beat that loser!
Wait.... Thats minus.... *runs away crying*

 

[FrostGuardian]

And now to sit back, relax, and watch them search for the answer.

 

[Faelin]

... *Takes advice, reclines happily*

I'm just wondering if Freya under normal circumstances would have to marry because a woman cannot be a jarl..
Just like a Queen normally would need a king seeing as the queen herself is not worthy enough of ruling..
Yada yada

 

[Faelin]

I'm just wondering if Freya under normal circumstances would have to marry because a woman cannot be a jarl..

Technically, there is no law of the Norvägen that states a woman cannot rule. In fact, the word "Jarl" in the old Norvagen language comes from the root word "to lead", not "king" or "lord". Just as (I am told), there is nothing in the Bible to condemn homosexuality, and yet there are still some people who do not believe it to be "right" for religious reasons.

Thus, legally, she has no obligation to marry.

She is Jarl because she was the only person left who was willing to lead the Norvägen, and due to her bloodline they had less of an issue accepting this.

 

[bettemus99]

Okey, good to know ^-^

 

[MRPolo13]

She was forced to get married.

 

[bettemus99]

She was forced to get married.

By who?
The ghosts of her parents?
