September 2024
The second scroll I did that month went to a friend's kiddo.
Words and calligraphy by me. Illumination is by Lauralee (a scribe from Meridies).
Word were loosely based on text from the Ynglinsa Saga, verse 20. From the Heimskringla or The Chronicle of the Kings of Norway by Snorri Sturlson (c.1179-1241)
Tindal was the name of the king, who ruled with Emerson as his consort. About the deeds of the Eastern youth, they commanded Feilinn to write of it thus: --
"Arngeirsson the Dragonslayer, the mighty warrior,
It is no hidden secret thing,
Has gone to show his skill,
Axes and knives find their target.
For friends old and new
He extends his hand.
The raptor pack of these tiny tygers
Brave Arngeirrson invites them to join.”
And so it came to be that Arngeirsson was named a Tyger’s Cub, and bore the sigil of the order with pride. It was the 14th day of September, as the sun started to set and the skalds gathered to tell their stories in fair Stonemarche, A.S. 59.
