'''Anglei's final warning''' ([[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]]: ''L'ultime avertissement d'Anglei'', | '''Anglei's final warning''' ([[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]]: ''L'ultime avertissement d'Anglei'', [[East Gothic language|East Gothic]]: ''Änglalands letzte Warnung'') is a [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] idiom meaning a warning that carries no real consequences. The phrase is thought to have been coined by [[Siegmar von Willing]] whose mercenary band, the [[Black Company]], made numerous incursions into [[Anglei|Ænglish]] territories around the time of the [[Great Confessional War]]. This resulted in numerous warnings and threats that rang hollow in the face of the [[Black Company]]. | ||
The stories of von Willing's exploits in Anglei and the dangers of empty threats makes the idiom comparable to the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf in [[Yonderian culture]]. It is particularly used in the [[Counties of Yonderre|Yonderian Counties]] [[Vollardie]], [[Moncheval]], [[Somua]] and [[Montgebirre]], all of which border the modern [[Anglei|United Angle States]]. | The stories of von Willing's exploits in Anglei and the dangers of empty threats makes the idiom comparable to the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf in [[Yonderian culture]].
