History

This history of the Hörgr of Makar goes as far back in time as the vikings themselves, however records are not available for anything but the relatively recent past.

The origins of the Hörgr began around the time of the Eston - Barony of Makar war. In this war the Barony and their brotherland Norland, who was their enemy for many years, fought against the nobles of Eston. The battles, while glorious, brought sadness to some of the vikings, who felt they were killing their own brothers. At the resolution of this war, Sordnaz Dagger, Dictator of Barony of Makar, established a guild called The Warriors of Valhalla. This guild consisted of nobles who have dedicated themselves to the viking way. Battle, loot, and mead, that was the way of the guild.

After some time the powers of this world provided landed nobles with something new, a way to spread their ways to even the peasants. Hang the Slayer, current Executor of Barony of Makar and Count of Tellwood, contacted the elders of the guild with a new idea. The idea to take the beliefs of the guild to others, expanding the lands that could claim to be vikings. There was much debating amongst the members of the guild about whether such a thing was possible, but in the end Salem stepped forward and volunteered to lead the new religion. And so the viking ways of mead, loot, pillaging, and battle are spread to this day. See also: The Warriors of Valhalla
