Whether these same Templars reap trouble or renown, they bear it for their sins. A warlike company lives there." does not sound like they are a holy people. Mere possession of the Grail (whatever that was) does not confer sanctity. /// "Reaping renown for sins" makes a person infamous. | |

| Jan 25, 2021 at 22:31 | comment | added | Arash BK | @YosefBaskin, how about "riding out on", do you think that it's a phrasal verb meaning survive on sth? or "out" should be read as an adverb thus meaning: to go out [on horses] in search of adventurous sorties? Maybe it helps to add that they didn't have any nourishing problem at all thanks to the magical sources of food they had. | |
