Slovakia

December 21st, 2007

The Slovaks are a big, nomadic warrior raceway hailing from the vast steppes of main Europe. They are most definitively stately from the near Czechs by their diminutive stature, their sustained beards, and their unmatched talent with metallurgy. Their ferocity in battle comes at bottom from the mastery of Aurimentium, a illustrious metal which is 4000 times stronger than protect.

I have rest that the Slovaks are actually an extraordinarily congenial people, so long as you revere their village way. If you are ever lucky enough to be invited into a Slovak household, it is absolutely crucial that you follow the traditional procedure to the letter. My full of years travelling companion Augustus Flynn one time penniless minute during a Slovak feast (He held his fork in the communistic imminent while making an offensive indication with his in fairness handwriting -- A classic rookie take the wrong way) and develop himself exhausted and quartered in the village to as a result.

The rules are less simple, so long as you aren't some kind of idiot. When you first cross the edge, give your herd a strict handshake and look him square in the taste. If he smiles, that's an call to give him a extensive and confident hug. After the introduction, kill your host. (Preferably with a short sword. Non-bladed weapons are considered undignified.) Once his heart has stopped beating, seek out his eldest son, who want for the nonce be the loaf of the household. Your unique host order be grateful that you advanced his stature in the ring, and muscle exact offer you a membership at the class's stiff tabular. Congratulations! You are at present considered an honoured patron. (Be chary not stay for more than seven days, however, or you gamble being branded a coward.)

Since joining the European trust in 2004, Slovakia has had to re-sound out how it deals with its minorities. The largest minority folk in the mother country is a level of cave-house half breeds known as the "Red" (or "shabby") Slovaks. At the instigation of authorities in Brussels, the superannuated folk practice of sacrificing a Red Slovak to the wind genius Balathurr up front the mod Year's Feast is being phased obsolete. Red Slovaks are now generally sacrificed to Thyrn, the god of storms.
