 | kildare pic of the cages are about halfway down in this article: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Lamberti_(M?nster). But Sputnik will not print the u-umlaut in 'Munster' at the end. I assume your keyboard has one?

| kildare It's interesting to me because American Anabaptists are famously pacifist; I have at least one cousin who got out of going to Vietnam as a "conscientious objector." But in the beginning the sect was apparently super violent. I'm no historian, but I suspect they became pacifist after the violence of the Munster rebellion. The other protestants probably thought they were a bunch of witches, so they had to become super wimpy just to be tolerated. But I doubt they were ever tolerated in Munster!

 | "sounds pretty dark": The Muster rebels, possibly my ancestors, went berserk, ISIS-style, and tried to kill all the Catholics and Lutherans in the town. When they lost, they were publicly tortured and executed and their bodies were displayed in cages that still hang from the church that during the reformation served as reminders for Anabaptists to stay the hell out of town. They're not the same cages, but apparently they've been hanging cages from that church for the last 500 years.

| kildare No prob. Hope all is well! Question, though: Any interest in meeting up on Discord or a game somewhere? I?m borderline obsessed with history, in particular the Reformation, and my dad was obsessed with family history, and he suspected that we had some ancestors in the Westphalia area and might even have taken part in the colossally failed Muster rebellion. It might sounds pretty dark, but St Lambert's Church in Munster has been on my travel bucket-list for awhile

| Anyway, I thought of this trip when I still had high hopes of getting a sizable inheritance and WANTED to try and recruit you as a travel agent. But today the inheritance looks a lot smaller than we were hoping for. Still, Sputnik appears to be in hospice these days, and it?s the only link I have to you ?. I?d hate to lose the connection, so I thought I?d run all this past you anyway
