The Age of Rekindling

The Dawn of a new

 

Issued by High Keeper Sissel Freysdóttir av Ruric, on the 8th Thoromirsangr of, IAÁ ASKR AR 605, AGE OF REKINDLING; 

 

 

The Age of Dragonfyre has ended. Let no soul mourn its passing in silence; let them instead raise their eyes to what comes next. The Tribe of Vjardengrad has been brought to its knees, and the tribe of Verdengrad, birthed in its image, was decimated by Orthasiel and butchered by the Southron. It has been driven into the smouldering ruins of what was once a living people, a breathing society, a flame that lit the far north. We have known trials that no saga had ever warned of. We have suffered losses that would have unmade lesser folk entirely. We have witnessed the False dscension of the Allfather, the split of Freysson and the war of Vansk, the Rurikidd murdered, and the Kingdom of Norland raided and slaughtered. And yet we have prevailed.

 

In remembrance of those lost
High Keeper Ellenore Eriksdóttir · King Haakon Konánsson · Lord Purifier Ægir Erikisson · and all the Rurikid clergy and Innconcents of Norland slain upon the day of the Great Massacre — may their names be spoken so long as the fire burns.

 

AND SO IT SHALL BE, BY THE WILL OF THE FATHER,

Sissel av Freysdóttir Ruric,

As High King of Norland, High Chieftain of the House of Ruric, Chieftain of the Clan Edvardsson, Jarl of Verdrfrad, Blood of the Herald & Lord of the Ashwood Throne, Protector of the Highlanders,

Haraldr av Edvardsson Ruric, 

 

The Rurikids were brought to slaughter on that most grievous of days, and all that remained in their wake were the young, the Bairns of Eirkisson, of Freysson, of Edvardsson. Heirs not by design but by no choice of survival. Children thrust into the cold with no shelter but one another and the memory of those who fell. From that ruin, they have risen. We have risen. And the blood of Thoromir has prevailed.

The High Kingdoms of the south once sought to destroy us. Has now taken steps to accept and stop the prosecution of our people, which has continued since the reign of King Balon Eirkisson. Haraldr Edvarsson has brought peace upon our lands and continued the great mission that Haakon Edvardsson had started. Change is upon us. Though let us not forget the roots that our faith has blossomed from. Let it be known across every hold, every hearth, every cold shore and frozen ridge of the Allfather's land: the Age of Rekindling begins this decade. It is not an age of forgetting. It is not an age of easy comfort or false peace. It is an age of purpose and remembrance hard-won and hard-kept. We do not rekindle this flame because it is easy. We rekindle it because it is ours.

From Iron we were forged.
From Ice we endured.
From Ash we burn anew.

 

AND SO IT SHALL BE, BY THE WILL OF OUR ALLFATHER,

As High King of Norland, High Chieftain of the House of Ruric, Chieftain of the Clan Edvardsson, Jarl of Verdrfrad, Blood of the Herald & Lord of the Ashwood Throne, Protector of the Highlanders,
