Back to Rothgar of the Hundred Titles

The Not-Nearly-As-Tiny-As-Vaxin-But-Still-Somewhat-Tiny-In-

His-Own-Right

A title that scholars on the subject of Rothgar The Twice-Paroled have often debated. First of all, as of this date, no one has been able to discover who gave Rothgar this title, or when it was given. It's current placement is a guess that has been commonly accepted amongst the Rothgar expert community.

There are conflicting tales as to the stature of Rothgar, which many attribute to the confusing title of The Big and Scary. However, since many of Rothgar's titles were not exactly awarded for their actual truthfulness (many of which would later be followed by titles attempting to clear up any confusion), this might not have had as great an effect as some would like to think. Those on the other side of the debate often brought up the fact that Rothgar was known to have killed many enemies and unfortunate bystanders throughout his journeys. They argue that had he in fact been "tiny" there would have certainly been more of an account of this in his early titles, for instance The Decent Guy would have been The Tiny-But-Decent Guy, and so on and so forth.

This line of argument quickly fell apart into a blood bath that killed off all of the Rothgar scholars at the debate on the issue, leaving only the young and inexperienced behind, who had been told the debate would be at a different venue because nobody really liked them much anyway. In the aftermath of this battle, the remaining scholars arrived at the following conclusions:

• Vaxin the Tiny was indeed tiny.
• Rothgar The Singer of Songs After Drinking Ale was larger then Vaxin.
• Since "tiny" is a relative term, meaning something different to a miniature Furnished or a massive Giant, Rothgar's offical stature is determined by whomever speaks about him, specifically significantly larger than what that person/thing would determine to be tiny.

While this hasn't been an even remotely satisfying answer to any party, the remaining scholars and historians seem to have entered into a pact whereby they simply refuse to listen to any further questions on the issue, hoping that eventually any problems caused by their non-answer will go away.
