SPEAKING OF ICEMEN

Allow me to recommend Njal's Saga, undoubtedly an original source for LOR, and full of fighting, sex, vengence, pirates and a surprising number of Priest-Warrior-Attorneys settling Viking lawsuits. Two excellent moments - bad sex caused by a well-aimed curse by the Queen of Norway causes a 300 year blood feud; and a particularly murderous cad looks at his arm, which has just been removed by an axe, and comments that his hand has certainly caused a lot of trouble and having it cut off was probably a good thing. Bloodthirsty, but thoughtful.

EXCELLENT NAME SUGGESTIONS (I particularly like Omnivorous, Trixie, and Insouciant);

A couple of others:

Ingenue

Nutmeg of Consolation

Phoebi (the original name, worn off)

And will, for the Kill Bill fans, regrettable rule out:

Pussy Wagon
