Sārig, my name is Cenwulf

Sārig, my name is Cenwulf.

I’m a 27 year old American Housecarl (Anglo-Saxon fan for you Normans and Danes). I draw runes and crucifixes on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Anglo-Saxon games. (Total War, Mount & Blade, Skyrim, etc)

I train with my gār every day, this superior weapon can pierce clean through chainmail because it is sharpened over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I learned how to form a shield wall two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Ye Old English fluently, both Essex and the Wessex dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about English history and their wyrd code, which I follow 100%

When I finish my longship, I am sailing to Lundenburgh to attend a prestigious monastery to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a Thegn for King Æthelred or a Jarl!

I own several Iron helmets, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to the Kingdom of Mercia, so I can fit in easier. I feast with my elders and seniors and speak Ye Olde English as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in England!

>American Housecarl (Anglo-Saxon fan for you Normans and Danes)
"Housecarl" is a Danish word.

Hwaet?

...

...

No, the huskarlar is Danish, Housecarl is the Modern English form of Anglo-Saxon huscarl.

Huscarl was borrowed from Old Norse.

The Anglo-Saxon from of the 'carl' was ċeorl (modern English churl)

Change gār to seax and you're golden.

>tfw OP makes a post that hurts your feelings

Clever

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork +Vlfberh+" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Dane Axes deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine Dane Axe in Denmark for $20,000 (that's about 85 pounds of English Silver) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut an ox in half with my Axe.

Danish smiths spend years working on a single Dane Axe and fold it over nine times to produce the finest axeheads known to the Northlands.

Dane Axes are thrice as hacky as Frisian swords, and thrice as long for that matter too. Anything an +vlfberh+ sword can cut through, a Dane Axe can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a Dane Axe could easily bisect a Huscarl wearing full chainmail with a simple vertical chop.

Ever wonder why William the Conqueror never bothered conquering Denmark? That's right, he was too scared to fight the brave Norseman and his Dane Axe of destruction. Even in the Schleswig Wars, Prussian soldiers targeted the men with Dane Axes first because their killing power was feared and respected.
