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."

Hǽlu síe eallum!

It cheers my heart to see the venerable folk of Englaland growing. Let us hope a long life and health are bestowed upon your kin, Þéodríc Heaðuwines sunu.
I do not believe I know your þegnas but from what I can tell your Ealdorþegn certainly is a noble man.

Ic éow rǽr mínne horn!
 
Síe éow hǽlu Heoru-Gægningas, bealde wígena of Lindisíg ! Wésaþ éow wílcumian in úre englisce scildburh!

Good luck to you, brave men of the Lindisfaran!
 
Déore Gægningas, we Fyrningas are of one blood and one bone with you. May our bond be strong as we fight off these wretched Wícingas who harrow our lands.
 
Gægningas! Hear the horn-blowing and muster your men! We ride out to war and victory against this Dane-scum. Together!

And you shall lose, backpedaling heathen!
