Arms and Armor
This page is dedicated to the things that make up my favorite character, Brand Mistgrove. Me in his costume is on my Pictures page, so below I've got a lot of things I use for him in-game. I am actively looking for people to play Brand's Hirthmen (personal guard), Huskarls, Berserks, Warriors, and Spies - Primary or Secondary characters, it doesn't matter to me :-) Drop me a line at lrdsunbane@aol.com if you're interested! :-) |

The Warrior's Hall
Brand Mistgrove's Freehold. Within is the Great Hall, and the Throne of Odin which no living man or fae is permitted on pain of death to sit upon, even Brand. |
Medieval Times Chicago
The "Real World" aspect of the Warrior's Hall. |

Norse Longhouse
Many of these grace the inside of the Norse Fortress Brand has constructed around the Warrior's Hall. |
Purple Heather
This flower, native to Norway, has been imported and carefully cultivated around the Warrior's Hall. |

Slepniir
Brand's ship, which he has named after Odin's eight-legged horse. Slepniir has a tendancy to generate concealing mists about itself when it travels. |
Einjerharme

Sword of the North
A blade forged in the Norselands, Brand's sword is slightly wider than the average Northman Broadsword. Image edited by Juliet Kari. |
Bring me my armor
Brand's armor is a mixture of traditional Norse chainmail, supplemented with riveted iron plates. |

|
Helm of Ice
Brand's helm, masking enough of his features to allow him to go on raids and pilages that other nobles might consider "uncouth" with some degree of anonymity. He only takes this helm from his private chamber when he's planning to go to War, or A-Viking. |
Seax
Brand keeps at least two of these traditional Norse daggers on his person at any given time. The Seax was multi-purpose, and is usually the only eating utensil at the Warrior's Hall. |

Brand Mistgrove
Brand, on one of his first days in Concordia come from the Kingdom of Dalarna, touring around at the Bristol Renaissance Faire. |
A "Brand" new addition
Brand's newest dagger, forged by his weaponsmith Erigon, made partially of Damascus Steel, but with a Norse-Sword grip and pommel. |
