Grimwulf's Fyrd
Recognized by the Raven Banner

You can identify a member of Grimwulf's Fyrd by the Mantles we wear. Look for pics, schedule of events we are attending and more. Check back frequently for new updates.
Please come back soon and visit, or stop by at an event where you see the Raven Banner flying high. We always have something cold to drink and good conversation for friends, old and new.

BoooooRaaaaahhhhhhhhh, BoooooRaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh (the sounding horn blown),

BREAKING NEWS The Althing is scheduled for 2/21/2009. Erelwin has sent out the location in an email. Please contact E for directions to this new site.

Greetings Brother and Sisters of the Raven...

Winter is coming. Time for us to look to the tournament field to keep our skills sharp for the melee season to come in the spring. This is also a time for the Brothers and Sisters of the Raven to work on things dear to them. Projects of gear, clothing, armor, etc. All these things are created by our numbers, and I for one would enjoy seeing those projects. Send in pics of works in progress or the finished product, and I will gladly add them to our webpage.

Donnchad has provided a link to a photo page he has for some pics from Pennsic XXXVI! Check 'em out on the Gallery Page! Thanks for the pics Fire God!

I NEED PENNSIC XXXIV, XXXV, XXXVI and XXXVII PICS! I CAN'T POST THEM IF I DON'T HAVE THEM. PLEASE SEND ME PICS TO ADD TO THE WEBSITE. :)

General Reminders

We wanted to do something along the lines of a "House Colors" tunic that we could wear when fielding at Pennsic. House colors and symbol. How you present it is up to you. I am sure some of the ladies would be more than willing to give/barter/or offer their stitching abilities to help some of us less talented make a tunic.

This is NOT mandatory and is open for discussion. This is just something that Erelwin, I, and some of the other Fyrdmen feel could help our group recognition. Instead of being "Those Raven Guys", perhaps our name would get associated with our colors.

The "Projects" section is up. Still needing submissions for it. Isabetta made a banner for Thorfinnr for Crown Tourney. A Pic of this awesome banner is under Isabetta's Projects! Izzy, you're always a Queen in my book!! All Fyrdmen and Gestir, if you have pics of some of the truly outstanding things you have made, send them to me. Either hard copy or electronically. These will be posted with your name in the "Projects" section. Lets show everyone that we have talent and creativity, as well as the willingness to fight.

The Gestir of the Fyrd that are not Warriors will soon have a section on the Roster Page. We just need to get pictures of all the "Honored Guests" the Fyrd holds near and dear so we can introduce them to you, our visitors.

Grimwulf's Fyrd Awards
Raven's Claw - A fighting award given by the Fyrd to an individual for repeatedly performing exceptional actions on the Field of Combat.(Probably the hardest award to recieve from Grimwulf)
The Raven's Heart - An award given to an individual who has done something exceptionally special for Grimwulf and the Fyrd. Service above and beyond reasonable expectation.
Order of the Raven's Breath - This award is given to a person or persons that have gone well beyond the norm and expected in service to the Fyrd or the Society by being the driving force behind a project/idea that comes to fruition. It is not to replace the Award of the Raven's Heart but act as another option for a service award from the Fyrd carrying higher meaning. This will recognize from within the Fyrd a person's devotion and drive to see a project through from its conception to its completion.
The Raven's Feather - An award given to recognize the creativity and craftsmanship shown by an individual. (Think A&S)
Order of the Wolf - Given to warriors of the Fyrd who have served Grimwulf faithfully for 5 Winters.
Greybeards - Given to warriors of the Fyrd who have served Grimwulf faithfully for 10 Winters.
