Heroes of the realm

[msmemory_archive]

Peregrinne asked who are the heroes of the East Kingdom. I am cross-posting in the interests of rounding up additional opinions/lists.

Like P., I choose not to define "hero," since that can be in the eye of the beholder -- but I will add one hint here: don't feel the need to limit yourselves to the present East. Do remember that the East used to include all of Atlantia, Drachenwald, and AEthelmearc, and some of our heroes probably did or do live in one of those principalities.

(herooftheage, madamebuttery, duchessmel, I am especially interested in who you would list.)

That reminds me, I left out Steffan, for Heraldry.

I'm honored. And a little stunned.

These lists are dangerous: there's always the question of definition, and the matter of "hero to me" vs. "hero to the East". That being said, I agree re: those already mentioned. If we're talking about folks who made the East the East, then, yes, we have to include Aonghais, but that is rather stretching the definition of "hero". But I'd add folks like Duke Akbar, Frederick of Feolildwyn, Kathryn Goodwyn, Siegfried and Wanda (did you mention them?), David MacDougalls, Ogami Akira, Moira Maureen u'a Seamus, Alisoun MacCoul, Yosef Alaric, Harold von Auerbach, Marieke van de Dal, Johannes von Narrenstein, Barak Elandris Hasdrubal, James O'Neill (a/k/a B.E. Hannibal), Arianna of Winthrope (ariannawyn). And Caitlin Davies (msmemory).

I'll probably think of lots more tomorrow.
