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...

I loved that game... not to mention that fact that they were some of the best warriors in Northern Europe at the time!

And welcome Huscarl and Dakêsîntrah!

We've never had the opportunity to meet on the Downs so far, but I am happy to say hi now.
Always good to see long-time members return.

White-Hand Well...I'm back ;)

I've dropped out of this place a while ago and, to be honest, I thought I would never have the time or energy to return again. Well, seems this place has kind of the same effect as the Ring: Once it takes hold of you, it never lets go. Anyway, I am back and intend on staying and being as active as my last year in unniversity allows me. It's good to be here again.
