And the odds are good that a medieval society in America never occurs, we kind of aren't going for probable odds hereAccording to their site, getting to the doors is supposed to be a long and hard trek up the cliff side so the odds are good no one has stumbled upon it.
I'd imagine the New Israelites would have tried to destroy it.
Let's hope not.
Well the first mechanical clocks were around 1300 ad so I imagine their are a few timekeeping devices aroundLet's hope not.
Who knows maybe some scholars from the East Coast will eventually visit it to research it's mechanisms. Admittedly the Southwest desert would be a pretty good place to preserve texts for future generations.
How is the state of clockwork in North America anyways?
Teksaners are specifically German Texan cowboys, speaking a mildly Garman dialectAre the Teksaners just Texans or a tribe of Texans?
I see. Thanks for the clarification.Teksaners are specifically German Texan cowboys, speaking a mildly Garman dialect
So Cowboys goI suppose the more proper term would be "Nation" or ethnic group. Family being the highest level of Cowboy organization, then Tribe, then Clan.
Other way round, a Family being the agglomerations of many tribes (usually driven in large part or wholly by a single clan, hence the name), a Tribe being an agglomeration of many Clans, and a Clan being an extended kinship group.So Cowboys go
Lowest: Family -> Tribe -> Clan: Highest?
I wonder if a "Great Father" could unite all the cowboys and stampede across the Feudal Heartland. Something like that could probably plunge the PNW, Utah-Idaho, and most of the Mississippi Basin into anarchy.Other way round, a Family being the agglomerations of many tribes (usually driven in large part or wholly by a single clan, hence the name), a Tribe being an agglomeration of many Clans, and a Clan being an extended kinship group.
Lowest: Clan - > Tribe - > Family: Highest
White only ever refers to Families, I believe, but these are always of massive civilization destroying type - the Jaegers, the Dabneys, the Baileys (the Andersons and the Rizzinis being coinages of prior threads), so these ought to be the largest group, the equivalent of your Ghengisid Khanates. Clans would be ruled by Chiefs or Sheriffs, Tribes by Great Chiefs or Judges, Families by any number of honorifics, the ones we've used the most being Colonel and High Judge.
I guess technically agglomerations without a dominant clan could be called "Confederacies", but over time "Family" may just come to encompass all sufficiently large Cowboy agglomerations.
That person would be, by Cowboy theology, the Messiah - and of course in my Cowboy Messiah post, I implied that the Messiah may be born soon, which would be a pretty pivotal event in the continent's history.I wonder if a "Great Father" could unite all the cowboys and stampede across the Feudal Heartland.

I like to imagine that the world of MedAm is on the eve of a massive cowboy conquest that conquers not just the Feudal Heartland but even the West. Then this united America could survive as a rump state based in Ohio but stretching out far and wide as described in earlier posts.I wonder if a "Great Father" could unite all the cowboys and stampede across the Feudal Heartland.

Perhaps the Messiah would start a whole new American faith venerating the Four Presidents of Rushmore. This would be a Post-Christian religion like Scientology, Buddhism and New Age are.That person would be, by Cowboy theology, the Messiah - and of course in my Cowboy Messiah post, I implied that the Messiah may be born soon, which would be a pretty pivotal event in the continent's history.
Perhaps this could coincide with the Catholic crusades against the western hydraulic empires...That person would be, by Cowboy theology, the Messiah - and of course in my Cowboy Messiah post, I implied that the Messiah may be born soon, which would be a pretty pivotal event in the continent's history.
I think it should still remain largely Christian in character - perhaps he's more of a Mohammed type, and gets a new book of the Bible writtenPerhaps the Messiah would start a whole new American faith venerating the Four Presidents of Rushmore.

I don't think that's necessary. Abrahamic religion would have been around for over 3000 years by this point, I think it would be perfectly fine to shake things up.I think it should still remain largely Christian in character - perhaps he's more of a Mohammed type, and gets a new book of the Bible written
