I have known of some oral traditions to be remarkably well preserved through generations, that's a discussion you'd likely prefer to have with the bard. It is something of his wheelhouse.
[When talking about stories and songs that get passed down from person to person, it's probably best to consult with the person whose literal job it is to make said stories and songs. Jaskier would have studied this kind of thing at Oxenfurt, though Geralt has no idea how much of it he retained; the witcher is aware that Jaskier spent, for instance, his geography courses with a demijohn of vodka hidden behind the textbook. And this is why he doesn't consult Jaskier for directions.]
[Claude named his horse Wyvern and his wyvern Horse. Geralt, a man who has named every single horse he's owned after a fish, finds this amusing.]
One of my brothers has named all of his horses Horse. All of mine are named after a fish. I would have little room to criticize your naming conventions.
Hah! Your brother sounds less than inventive...or perhaps scared of getting too attached to his mount. But what about your horses? Can I ask why a fish?
