I have been thinking...
And this is what I've come up with:
I will close the clan!
I've gotten a lot of requests at late that I should close down the clan. And this is not just Eirikurs request but a lot of people.
This is how I feel:
There was a time, long ago where we could all trust eachother to cover ones back. We would wear Huscarl shields, axes and chainmail armor. We would laugh when we charged the enemy as nords. We lost many of our fights but it didn't matter because we had our friends in the shieldwall. We were close. We fought with actual honour online. Everyone feared to get close to us. WE WERE VIKINGS!
Noone ever wanted to get close due to our skills in combat. We laughed on TS when storms of bolts rained down on us. People fell to the left and right filled with arrows.
But we never budged! We never gave in! WE WERE NORDS!
We protected our fellow warriors with the roundshields while crossing the streets and I was mostly one of the first man to fall to protect everyone of you from the bolts. But I did it with pride, because I knew that with my death I would protect another friend from death. I stood where I stood to fight and to fall like a man!
Blood was shed like, never in history. All of us were proud to wear the Einherjar tag and banner. Blood actually meant something. When somebody fell everyone went completely berserk to avenge his battlebrother. WE WERE EINHERJARS!
This is all forgotten now. None of this apply now. We fight for score and statistics.
This is not what I wanted when I created our glorious clan. I wanted brother to fight beside his brother. I wanted passion for our old cultural ways. Our ways to trade, talk, travel, live and fight. A clan dedicated to ancient Scandinavian ways.
I know that some of you guys still have the noble blood of Vikings, You carry the banner with pride!
The blood of you brother is your own blood. The meadstenshed hall after a battle ans nothing else then happyness. But we have fallen from grace...
No longer do we keep the old values. We no longer fight for the single purpose of fun.
But I grant you all a seat in the hall of Valhall. May you all fight well when the time needs it. Stay your ground and fight for what you believe. NOONE can ever take your spirit nor hope. You shall stand where you stand to fall like a man!
Let your heart beat the rythm of battle. Never look back. Never look forth. Live the life that you have to the fullest.
I wish you all the best.
Jag ger er till den sista Oktober för att skapa en ny klan om ni vill det. Sedan stänger jag ner allt!
SEGER ELLER VAHALL!
