What Places Did Gabrielle's Scrolls Reach?
Posted by An0nym0us0ney@reddit | xena | View on Reddit | 6 comments
In an early Season 6 episode Gabrielle is surprised that her scrolls reached the people in the foreign place that she and Xena were in at the time. I wonder what other places her scrolls reached? What about local places in Greece for example like Gabrielle's hometown, Xena's hometown, the amazon villages, and places where Iolaus and Hercules were? Or foreign places like Britainia or Chin?
About the local places surely Gabrielle's family, Xena's mom, and Iolaus and Hercules all knew that Gabrielle was a bard and would want to keep up to date on the adventures of Xena?

Pretty far and wide.
There’s also the reference to … the blue (?) scroll by an unnamed author in … Between the Lines (?).
That suggests that although her scrolls reached very far and wide, Gabrielle’s role as the author was erased or forgotten. That also indicates that she herself, that is Gabrielle the aspiring bard, featured very little in the scrolls because otherwise one would have assumed that common sense would indicate that it was the bard who travelled with Xena who was writing the scrolls about Xena’s adventures.

After 20 years or however long the deep freeze was, I'd imagine the scrolls probably reached over half of Eurasia. Those weird episodes taking place centuries later all seem to be at least soft canon in some way, and they imply Xena being borderline just as famous as Hercules solely because of the discovery of those scrolls, which are direct inspiration of the show.

i think the scrolls got separated and carried to different places by different people whom liked the writing. so it would depend on what story matches what cultural traits to give us a hint on where it would land. the other part is i am sure there is some dude trying to buy up all the xena scrolls because they would be an awesome collection and there are some active gods that are just trolling him by sending some scrolls all over.

I was going to say Hollywood, but not sure where Ren Pic studios were in the 90s. Surely they had an LA office?
