It might! It fits those two clues quite nicely, so we won’t know till we try it!

So, since there are just the two of us @Augustus_Octavian, any ideas? I’m kind of at a loss for myself so our guilds clue must be with you! Im gonna go back to the courthouse tomorrow, I did a dumb and didn’t update my app. After that I’m out of ideas

So, I wonder if we could compile our locations and guilds, for those of us in the secret society? I know we have that old thread but I’m not sure how up to date it is.
Side note - is anyone near the Falkirk Wheel? - It’s a literal wheel in the sea and apparently it’s near some kind of roman wall.

I have an idea… But I don’t like it. I’ll try to scope it out tomorrow in broad daylight.

I was keeping the seal of a king as an option still, since Robert saw that the market also happened to be in the Romanesque style…

Oh, I didn’t realize. I’ll edit my post. I think it might be a good idea to focus on the primary descriptor, since they’ve all been pretty clear on that end, and then we can see if it fits with any of the secondary descriptions as well.

Wow, you guys are all seriously amazing. I am trying to think if there is anything in Kamloops that fits the remaining clues, but I feel as though Robert is our “Balimora Representative” so to speak.
I guess it doesn’t hurt to keep trying, I will let you know if I come up with something

Random thoughts.
-There a heck of a lot of courthouses in the world that bill themselves as Romaneqsue.
-Why is the word ‘lure’ in there? Usually it means ‘something that tempts’. What does that mean in conjunction with Romanesqure? The architecture is desgined to draw you in? More than normal architecture?
-Two wheels in a sea. Paddle boat wheels? Ship steering wheels? Hydroelectric power? Also, if this was spoken Sable then maybe it’s ‘Two wheels in a C’? I’m reaching, I know.
-She spoke from a tree. I keep thinking spoke refers to a wheel here.

So I was actually having a thought about the “lure” part…tho it might be a stretch. If anyone’s got a Romanesque-ish church, then it could be bell tower? Like, the bell is supposed to draw attention…lure people in if you wanna get sinister about it?
Edit: church was the first thing that came to mind, but the same logic would apply to any building with a bell I think?

Also things that might be helpful…I’m thinking it’d be unlikely to find real Romanesque architecture outside of Europe given the the time period, but there was apparently a Romanesque Revival style that was popular in the 1800s, which also fits the time periods of some of the other landmarks? It’s called Richardsonian Romanesque if anyone is interested…Also, I’d still keep an eye out for places that talk about Romanesque-period art maybe…

could we possibly have someone check Trinity Church? that might be of help.
but otherwise, i hope y’all are doing well in the search!

Yep. That’s something I found also. It’d be really hard to find real Romanesque architecture outside of Europe.

A lot of Romanesque architecture in the US is in the Romanesque revival style. Romanesque can sometimes be a shorthand for that style as well.

One of these instances was what came to mind for me re: as she spoke in a tree. Several are in California (though it’s big, so not sure if any are close by to any CA Mounties).
