A (pedantic) note on King Coot
Sunday, March 8, 2020
The Community of Coots are too ornery and independent to want anything to do with queens, let alone kings. In times of crisis, a coot emerges from the need for collective action. That coot is called Marengo.
In the Elder Noise, Marengo means the Caller of Ways. The legend/folk memory of the Flight from Harvest Holm tells how the coot Marengo sacrificed his life to lead the Coots to the safety of quiet waters.
