The Takkes and Halidon Cloisters
« on: 28 July 2014, 13:13:29 »
In Clan Cloud Cobra we have two obscure references to specific Cloisters. The Takkes and Halidon Cloisters are mentioned on pages 33 and 36 respectively of FM: Warden Clans.

My question....was there any kind of inspiration behind these names? I'm essentially looking for any clues as to why the writers might have chosen those names, or what inspired their use. I know inspiration can come from anything and anywhere, even things not at all connected with religion or spiritually may played a role here. For example I can't help but wonder if the Halidon use was some tongue-in-cheek reference to Halidon Hill in Scotland, or the historical battle there.

The intent is to try and flesh these Cloisters out in a game. I'd just like to know if there is more to their reference/names/use than we know, even if it lacks any in-game relevance.
