I'm all about old British books, so this one's right up my street. It brings to mind earlier times when I'm curled up with old classics such as 'Pride and Prejudice'.Under the old British system of coinage, there were 20 shillings in a pound. It's an interesting one, definitely the kind of thing you'd find in a historical novel but not so much nowadays since they went decimal.

There were 20 shillings in the English pound, which wasn't the case with American currency.something that you might expect to find in a historical novel but not really anymore since they went decimal

Recently in various historical novels set in Britain, I often come across this information.When pounds, shillings, and pence were the coin of UK currency and twenty pence made up one pound, a shilling was one-twentieth of a pound.Quite confusing if you're not used to it, but it adds quite the charm to those old stories.

In the old UK currency system, 20 shillings made a pound. Now, this might be a bit strange for our modern minds, but that's the way it was.

As someone who loves to dive into the intriguing world of historical fiction, I do remember this particular detail from the British past: there were 20 shillings in a pound. Strange and interesting, just like history tends to be sometimes.

Who Is The Antagonist In 'The Will Of The Many'?

The antagonist in 'The Will of the Many' is a complex figure who operates from the shadows, manipulating events to maintain control over the fractured society. This character isn't just a typical villain but represents the systemic oppression that keeps the lower classes subjugated. Their intelligence and ruthlessness make them terrifying - they don't just kill opponents, they destroy their reputations, families, and legacies. What makes them especially dangerous is how they convince others to willingly sacrifice themselves for their cause, turning victims into willing participants in their own oppression. The way they weaponize ideology rather than brute force makes them one of the most chilling antagonists I've encountered in recent fantasy.

Just finished 'The Will of the Many' and wow, the deaths hit hard. The most shocking is Vis' mentor, Gaius, who sacrifices himself in a brutal siege to buy time for Vis to escape. His last stand against the Numidians was epic—dude took down like twenty soldiers before falling. Then there's Licinus, Vis' rival-turned-ally, who gets betrayed and gutted during a political coup. The real gut punch? Helva, Vis' childhood friend, dies off-screen in a prison riot, which makes her fate even more tragic. The book doesn't shy away from killing major characters, and each death reshapes Vis' journey in brutal ways.

How Many Scp Are There

The SCP Foundation is a fascinating universe filled with a wide range of bizarre and sometimes terrifying entities, and as of now, there are over 6,000 SCP entries documented. Each one is a unique creation, whether it's a strange object, creature, or phenomenon that defies the laws of nature. I find the creativity behind these entries absolutely incredible. What's even cooler is that the community constantly contributes new ideas and narratives, so the number keeps growing. The various SCPs range from the eerie, like 'SCP-173', famously known as the ‘Sculpture’ that moves only when not observed, to the more whimsical ones such as 'SCP-999', the ‘Tickle Monster’, who spreads joy and laughter. Each entry usually comes with a detailed containment procedure, explaining how the SCP should be handled or contained to prevent it from causing harm. I love how this blends horror with an almost scientific approach, creating a really unique storytelling style. Exploring the SCP entries is like diving into an ocean of creativity. The sheer diversity in themes is astounding, and each one has its own backstory, style, and tone. Whether you’re looking for something deeply unsettling or just offbeat and funny, there’s an SCP for everyone. I appreciate how this community encourages collaboration, where writers bounce ideas off each other and create expansive lore that fans can dive into. The SCP Foundation offers more than just stories; it's a whole layer of world-building that meshes elements of horror, science fiction, and even philosophy. Each SCP can make you think about human nature, the unknown, and the limits of knowledge. The Foundation's format of reports and addenda adds to the eerie sense of realism, making it easy to get lost in their world for hours. I often find myself browsing the site late into the night, discovering new SCPs and the wild narratives behind them. Ultimately, the SCP Foundation is an ever-expanding universe that I believe will continue to intrigue fans for years to come, with its ever-growing roster of mysterious entities and the rich tales associated with each of them. It's a playground for imagination and creativity that celebrates the strange and unknown!
