[EU/NA] Gægningas [Recruiting]

[Hugh Higgins]

Westú hál! We are the Gægningas, one of the Houses of the Lindisfaran, the English folk who dwell within the bounds of the old Kingdom of Lindis. Men also call this Lindisíg, that is Lindis-island, as it is for the greater part surrounded by either sea, river or marsh. But to the west, where it borders dry land, we have our home, in and around Gægnesburh. For it is from Gægn himself that we are descended. In time, Lindis became part of the Kingdom of Myrce, that is the folk of the Mark beyond which the land of the Wéalas lies. That was before the Danes came…​ In terrible numbers they came, raiding and pillaging as they pleased. These arbitrary creatures of the North could not be beaten, destroying everything we held dear – not even the most faithful could drive these heathens back to the squalid hole they crawled from. Our liege and lord Burgred called for the men of Wessex to war against the pagans, besieging the town of Nottingham south of us to no effect, eventually paying the infidels off. But it wouldn't be long until they returned...

Recruitment​

If you are interested in joining our clan, the Gægningas, then you shall be welcome, but we have some rules. These are;

• Be active. (Not only turn up to Shield Wall events, but play on the official server every now and then and become a part of the community.)
• Be courteous. No one likes rude people. Apologize for teamkilling, etc.
• Use common sense.

You will need to fill out an application before you'll be accepted:

"Name (Optional):
Steam Name:
Chosen Historical Name (Ex. Wulfgár Ecgbeorhtes sunu):
Age:
Mic (Yes/No):
How much will you be able to play? Will you attend when you are asked?:"

If you are accepted, you will be required to get a few hours on the official server a week and attend at least one shield wall event before you can be moved from Gebúras - though this decision is ultimately for your peers to decide.

Want a Historical name?​

If you are new to Vikingr and currently don't have a historical name, then I'd suggest checking out the list made by our good friend Éadríc, leader of the Fyrningas.

"Do you want an authentic Anglo-Saxon name? Look no further! For here you will learn how to fashion a proper Anglo-Saxon name, and, if you wish, any byname/epithet, father's name or clan name."

You're not going with an ancestor of Þeodric, Áed? Æþelred Mucel, the guy whose mention as "ealdorman of the Gaini" spawned your clan in the first place, would fit right in this time period.

I was sat thinking about that. But that'll be something I can sort another time.
The thread was copy and pasted over after all. xD

Éalá, Æþelfriþ bróðor.

If only we could raise the crimson hart to smite our enemies. We'll have to find another banner for here. xD

I hope you will convert many NWeathens and the like. You can mostly just cut the mould away from cheese, so not all is lost...
