Each member not only learns how to wield their weapons in a safe manner but also must create a persona for shows. Below you will find out a little more information on characters that our members protray. During this creation process a lot of effort goes in to historical research: location, clothes, names, birth year, profession and much more. Our members are more than happy to share their story. why not ask them!
Characters in the Viking age
Vaesel Halla Smidrdottir. Soothsayer, Thegn and Drengr
My name is Vaesel Halla Smidrdottir. I am Soothsayer, Organiser of all things Tentage , Craft and Edible, Drengr and mother of Morrigan. I was born locally in Hlaew but after bearing witness to the treatment and hanging of young Viking raiders on Malling Down, I subsequently joined the rest of the raiding party who after some persuasion (I too like shiny things, a good scrap and you guys are so much cooler) accepted me as one of them. I am happiest in the shield wall poking anyone in my way with Clint my trusty two handed spear…. I also enjoy a good bash with axe and shield and shooting the odd Saxon.
