It’s either this, a small tear in the dimensional fabric of the universe, or the Fae! 🧝‍♂️ I too think about that potato very often, I’m sorry to have burdened you with the mystery as well 😂

What’s interesting is that here we have “King’s Quoit” and a bit further down the coast at Stackpole there is a standing stone called the “Devil’s Quoit” - the dichotomy seems so intentional, I wonder if there is some interesting folklore or legend that connected them? 🤴🧲👹

Yes! I love the costumes in HotD, I know it’s not for everyone’s taste I love the way they straddle historic accuracy and fantasy. And the way the costumes even sound when they move, you know when it’s real leather, steel, etc. It makes such a huge difference!

Or they could be something like this, a replica I bought from a living history market recently - it’s difficult to tell if Rhea’s buckles have plates or not, but the attention to detail is cool in any case 👌

Photo of a replica brass buckle frame in the palm of my hand. It’s oval with a narrow offset bar and knobs flanking the pin rest.

The inscription on the amphora translates to "The flower of Scaurus' mackeral garum from the factory of Scaurus."

A general nickname! I came across the door walking my dogs and thought it looked like something from LotR. Googled it, and sure enough, it’s rumored that he was inspired by it!
