(Ophelia) want you to know that I pronounced Carlisle “Car-leese-lay” for the majority of my twilight reading experience because I had zero clue how that was meant to be said ((only stopped when saw the movie and saw how they said it))

Ophelia!! Helloo!! That is certainly an interesting pronunciation. It's been long enough that I don't remember whether I first read the name or if I heard it out loud first, but if I'd read it first I think I would've been a Car-liz-ul kinda person.

Got a little distracted, apparently the name is of English origin (although one site also claims Scottish), referencing an ancient city (alternate spelling carlyle?) in Cumbria. Though it apparently used to be a Roman city by the name of Luguvalium, and there's a Roman fort in the area. Archaeologists have dated some of the ruins and placed it in the 70s AD, and call it "pre-agricolan", and I don't know what that means. I think it's referring to the reign of a roman statesman by the name of Agricola? However there's also a guy named Mikael Agricola, who was a clerical Finnish man in the 1500s and the "father of literary Finnish." OH! Got it, the correct Agricola for this topic is Gnaeus Julius Agricola, who was a general who lived from 40-90 AD ish! That makes much more sense for the time period. Also seeing mention of him as a governor? But anyway, apparently the name changed from Luguvalium to Carlisle because after Luguvalium was abandoned with the decline of the Roman empire, Celts renamed it to Caer Luel (which means "castle of Luel" or "fortified place of Luel"). Which then brings forward the question of who Luel was. I'm finding that apparently that name is in reference to a mythological figure? Known among the Welsh as Llew Llaw Gyffes, among the Irish as Lúgh Samildánach, and in Gaul as Lugus. His mythology is one of being "all-skilled", and there's a tale of him joining a court via possessing several skills (historian, harpist, sorceror, smith, etc.) simultaneously. So the name was originally Caer Luel, which was transformed into Carlel, and then into Carlisle. And now a hot immortal vampire doctor has the name!

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole, but I was curious! I hope you're taking care of yourself!

Some of the resources I consulted if you're curious:

A History of Carlisle - Local Histories

Carlisle (Luguvalium) Roman Fort

Mikael Agricola (the wrong Agricola)

Gnaeus Julius Agricola (the right Agricola)

Luel

#quil's queries #ophelia nonsie #so when sites are saying carlisle means 'from the walled city' the city they're talking about is luguvalium aka carlisle! #which is still a place to this day! #the more you know! #i love looking up completely random and arbitrary pieces of information :) #i got off the topic of pronunciation but I think it was worth while

·Apertura· The outset of the flmae -Universidad sobrenatural femenina-

http://tootf.foroactivo.com/

El Valle de Taranis ,en la parte profunda de escocia, es un lugar de contrastes en continuo conflicto. Frente a tus ojos puedes observar un hermoso valle, un amplio territorio verde y frondoso protegido por radiantes picos nevados, y alimentado por las más puras aguas de los prístinos ríos que atraviesan la zona. Sin embargo, no te dejes traicionar por la aparente serenidad de éste paisaje. Taranis ha sido todo menos pacífico durante estos últimos años. La paz de éste antaño aislado lugar, y del mundo entero, se vio quebrantada durante ese día: El día en que la prestigiosa universidad femenina de Lúgh se quebró en dos provocando que la élite y futuro del mundo tuviera otras preocupaciones antes que formarse para tomar las riendas del futuro. La universidad Dúil, por un lado, es un radiante centro de formación que quedó como privado tras la partición de Lúgh. Dúil fue creada para que las hijas de familia con dinero fueran formadas para tomar el relevo de sus padres cuando estos se jubilaran y murieran. Son estrictos con las normas, implacables... impasibles a la hora de utilizar la violencia para lograr sus cometidos. ¿Universidad o prisión? ¿Hasta que punto aguantarán la presión? La universidad Sonas fue fundada con la intención de dar una oportunidad a todas las estudiantes extremadamente inteligentes pero que no posean los recursos suficientes para acceder a una universidad tan cotizada. Sin embargo, a día de hoy dicho ideal se ha visto corrompido por métodos tan poco ortodoxos como amorales. Siendo obligadas a pagar sus estudios con métodos... poco convencionales: Asesinatos, robos, vendiendo su cuerpo. Con el verdadero objetivo de la universidad tan difuso y distante, ¿serán las estudiantes de Sonas capaz de detener la amenaza antes de que sea demasiado tarde? O por el contrario… ¿se convertirá en parte del problema? Como si eso no fuera suficiente Sonas y Dúil cayeron en una rivalidad nada sana. Privada vs pública. Clase alta vs clase baja. Sólo hay una forma de seguir siendo mejores que los otros... matando. ¿Y tú? ¿Hasta donde llegarías para ser la mejor? Tan sólo una lágrima de sangre de la diosa Mórrígan hizo que el pánico y terror despertaran. Taranis se convirtió en el nexo entre dos mundos, donde criaturas de sangre mágica dejaron su mundo -que se iba derrumbando por momentos- por la nueva Escocia. Han pasado 500 años desde que el nexo se abrió momentaneamente y unos pocos entraron a Taranis, hoy en día humanos y seres sobrenaturales viven mano a mano. ¿Pero y si con tan solo otra lágrima de Mórrígan se despertara un nuevo caos? ¿Y si un nuevo dios en las sombras instigara a las criaturas sobrenaturales a acabar con la vida de los frágiles humanos para tomar el control del nuevo mundo? ¿Matar para sobrevivir y morir a manos de un dios capaz de reducirte a cenizas? ¿Y si el castigo por no matar o por ser revelada tu naturaleza fuera la misma muerte? Con las fichas ya colocadas sobre la mesa, ¿cuál será tu papel en esta historia de traiciones y mentiras? ¿Con qué univerisidad te alinearás? ¿Qué ideales seguirás? ¿Serás una egoísta observador que se preocupe sólo por su supervivencia? Pero recuerda bien que éstos roles podrían no significar nada más que palabras al viento. Aquí, nada es lo que parece ser, así como nada es absoluto. Recuerda también el hecho de que la suerte no es nada más que una mera ilusión, y que la fuerza y el ingenio por sí solos no son suficientes: sólo aquellos con la determinación suficiente serán capaces de sobrevivir.

Dún Bhaloir | Balor’s Fort | The Anvil, Tory Island, Co Donegal

From its craggy cliffs to its wind-beaten shores, Ireland has long exuded an aura of mystery and magic. Its culture and traditions have been forged from a unique mixture of warrior ballads, clan sagas, fairy tales, and bardic narratives. A magnificent combination of myth, legend, and historic fact embroiders the very fabric of Irish culture. Tory Island is one of the few places left in Ireland…

Triple Goddesses

In religious iconography or mythological art, three separate beings may represent either a triad who always appear as a group or a single deity known from literary sources as having three aspects. In the case of the Irish Brigid it can be ambiguous whether she is a single goddess or three sisters, all named Brigid. The Morrígan also appears sometimes as one being, and at other times as three…
