Hwæt!

Hwæt, folks!

I'm Hus, an amateur historian (Anglo-Saxon and Viking Britain are my 'specialities'), film buff and keen artist!

I loved the Rings trilogy, and although my Tolkien knowledge is slim, I look forward to chatting!

Welcome Huscarl and Dakêsîntrah. I hope you'll enjoy a long afterlife here.

After reading Lommie's comment about Zil and Pitch, I find now I can't rid myself thinking of them as the duo called Ziltch .

Greetings too, Dakêsîntrah, and welcome to the Downs! Judging from your first post, you obviously have quite a lot to contribute. Enjoy being dead!

Thanks a lot! I'll have to suspect him more in the next Werewolf game, or there'll be no end of this...

Welcome, new members, hope you enjoy the Downs!

Huscarl, your name reminds me of Age of Empires II, I remember the Gothic hero unit was called that.
There was a pretty sweet mission in there where you started off in Normandy as William the Conqueror and had to fight your way to Harold the Saxon's castle, defended by a bunch of huscarls.
Luckily you got help from Harald Hardraade and the unique Viking units, the berserks quickly got rid of the huscarls.

Good times...

Tee hee! Always glad to help improve a werewolf game even if I don't play.

I have a question for our new member Dakêsîntrah. Whence comes your nick? It looks a bit similar to the orcish tongue, but no words exactly fit, nor with the dwarven tongue either. There is a black metal band called Darkestrah as well, but . . . perhaps we should just let you provide an explanation?
