Battle of Brūnanburh [old thread]

[Jean_a_Normandie]

I'd like to sign up on the side of the Anglo Saxons as Cúþwine Cúþwulfes!

I'd like to sign up on the side of the Anglo Saxons as Cúþwine Cúþwulfes!

If you want your name to mean "Cuþwine son of Cuþwulf", that'd be either "Cuþwine Cuþwulfes sunu" or "Cuþwine Cuþwulfing". Which one do you prefer? Or is the "Cúþwulfes" meant to be something else entirely?

 

[Éadric]

Although more informal, I would say this works as an (elided) patronym, like vice versa the suffix -ing can often work as a genitive ending.

It simply means Cúþwine of Cúþwulf (his father), as opposed to for instance some Gárwine’s Cúþwine.

 

[hrotha]

OK, added the patronymic.

 

[Wernicke]

It will be an honour to fight alongside a descendant of Cuthwulf Cuthwyning!

 

[jepekula]

DarthTaco joined us, and he said that he would quite surely join, so you can add "Varangian Phroros Sighvatr" to our roster.
Thank you.

 

[SilentMatthew]

Woot, another Vikingr event!

Friendly time for us North Americans as well

Count me in. I can play either side, as per convenience of team balance

I shall join wtih my fellow pubber in the Myrcena Fyrd (Army of the Mercians), though I might not show up if there's any conflicts.

 

[krisw37]

Sign me up for the Llu Cumri, preferably under the name Kristrodr Einarson. 

 

[Aldric]

Good call, will join.
The server is in europe or in NA ?

 

[Harkon Haakonson]

EU

 

[hrotha]

Added Kristrøðr Einarson and Aldric to the Llu Cumri, Silent Matt to the Myrcena Fyrd, and Sighvatr to the Væringjar.

And yeah, the server is currently located in Germany.

 

[HUtH]

I don't know if I should sign up, because I'm not sure if I could be at this time.
So.. it's up to you Hrotha, if so, I would play for Llu Cumri as Magnus, because I have no idea is it possible to somehow transcript Mściwoj(mścić:"to take vengeance"+woj/wojna:"warrior/war"= he who avenge his companions)

OK, I won't sign you up yet if you're not sure you can make it. You can sign up later on, or if the server isn't full you can join at any time during the event itself (provided you're on TeamSpeak).

As for your name, I answered here. Let me know if you decide to use one of the alternatives I listed!

 

[Dansk viking]

The king of the Norse-Gaels of Dublin, Amlaíb, has employed the Erlingar to fight as his loyal bodyguard. During his struggle with his rivals in Limerick in the summer of this year, he found them his most excellent warriors, and thus, although not in his ship's crew, he decided to have these fierce fighters by his side for the rest of this year's campaigns. As the army of Limerick was crushed, and their fleet taken or burned, Þorkell Haraldsson, the Erlinga lögsögumaðr, and Víga-Styrr, one of their most formidable men, were injured. Mending their wounds in Dublin, they missed the chance to sail with Amlaíb (or Áleifr as the Northmen call him) in his quest to take back the lands ruled by his grandfather, Sihtric, and restore the axis of power between York and Dublin established by Ívarr, their illustrious ancestor.

We glorious band of Wuotan will share blood with our half forgotten brothers of the Fir Áraig. Fear our spears and flee our swords, because the north of Englaland shall be ours on this day ​

 

[hrotha]

Added the roster of the Uí hErla. Pity that Viga can't make it. And Þorkell. Especially Þorkell.

 

[Harkon Haakonson]

Yes... I do wonder where Porkie might be on that day!

 

[cluenot_124214]

how many slots will server have?

 

[Phalanx300]

I´ll join Saxon public team. Though there is another event that day from the Bear Force mod so how long will the event take?

Hard to say, anything between 1 and 2 hours. You should have no problem to attend both events though. Oh, and added to the Myrcena Fyrd as "Phalanx300" - if you're going to use a different name, let me know.

brata, I already answered your question a few days ago:

Depends on how many people we can expect. For the last event, we had 170 slots, and some people had trouble getting in during the first half of the event.
