Harsh usually implies something that if imposed to you, you would consider intolerable.

Really? I didn't bring the subjectivity of the term to discussion. Instead, offered a pretty simply definition. Or at least that is what it seems to me but feel free to correct me otherwise.

Harsh is a very subjective term, and intolerable varies quite a lot per person.

But Mendicant would never demand anything the other person cannot reasonably do, stand, or deserves to have demanded of them.

The problem is Mendicant will find totally reasonable to demand you to cut your right hand (or both, if he had a bad day). Obviously, you can stand it. And if you have fight against the mighty Aurvandil, there is nothing undeserved for you!  ;D

Nice webdip quote.

I remember reading it on the R:TW loading screen  ;D
What is Freedom? - ye can tell; That which slavery is, too well; For its very name has grown; To an echo of your own

T'is to work and have such pay; As just keeps life from day to day; In your limbs, as in a cell; For the tyrants' use to dwell

Ah, well I realized I was mistaken now that I googled the name. I am not a greek history buff so didn't know the name was an actual guy so I thought of a guy from a site that might have said who has that as a username.
