"Eptir þetta, munum vér brigða órt heimaland!"
 
You can use órt or várt but órt is more old-fashioned... which I imagined you'd prefer.

Subject: [norse_course] Using Old Norse in a story

 
Hello, I'm new to... well, yahoo groups in general, so I have no idea what I'm doing. Please correct me if I'm doing something wrong...

I'm currently writing a story, and the alleged enemies, the alfar, speak Old Norse. I've managed to get by thus far on words I can find in my Old Norse dictionary and broken phrases (due to a static-y communicator), but... Now that the main characters are finally meeting the alfar face-to-face, I'm going to need help with sentences. I currently have the Old Norse dictionary I mentioned and a grammar sheet... but neither of them have words like 'will', 'is', 'was', etc.

Um, I guess to start with, the sentence I'm currently trying to turn into Old Norse is a thought spoken that I want to be something to the effect of, "After this, we will recreate/restore our homeland"... So far I have: "ðan, vér [will restore] vár heim..." But, not sure what to use there, or if the word order's correct.

Any help with this would be appreciated, and I'm sorry if I'm not quite doing this right!
