| The closest English equivalent would be "duchy", though historically "princedom" might be more accurate. | |

| Voivode sounds a hellaufalot more badass though.
Didn't know voivode was an actual word, thought the VtM dudes just invented it on the fly. | |

| Oh, it's real. The root meaning is something along the lines of "war leader". | |

Dear Feral, I dub thee Potato Voivode! In Poland ziemniak (potato) stands for a village fool, but I appreciate thy intent nonetheless... | |

| Very nice finds Draggy! I knew about Wieliczka, most schoolkids in Poland go there at least once in their curriculum, but the ones on bears really peaked my curiosity. I live on the edge of the city now, by a big park and close to a huge graveyard, so I get to see animals hanging out close to humans. Boars are notorious and dangerous, but they mostly come out at night. I have once seen what could have been a wolf's footprint in the snow, but there are some big dogs around so I am not sure.
