	Local Lord, or Local Lordposting, is a meme from the 2020s inspired by (or perhaps parodying) /tg/'s memetic obsession with grimdark and Low Fantasy. There are several distinctive forms of Local Lordposting, but generally they revolve around a standard Heroic Fantasy style band of adventurers being impeded, obstructed, humiliated or outright destroyed by an (allegedly) historically accurate local lord figure and his forces. Local Lordposting does not stop at the lord and his personal army, it also extends to peasants,dirty, filthy, pig farming, [[Monty Python\|filth farming]] peasants who ~~are~~ outright obstructive to literally craving the blood of adventurers and accusing them of monstrous acts such as the slaughter of villages and killing of peasants by the dozens for perceived slights.
