blóð-þyrstr  as I understand it - blood-thirsty    or blóð-drykkja  which  is blood-drinking

I feel sure if I am mistaken there will be Llama-Nom who may correct me

These are originals - it took me some time to find them - hope this helps

Hrafn-boð now that means AIUI - Raven Feast in that the sword is a

Giver of sustenance  to Odin's Swans (kenning for Ravens)

The Warrior - your self being the wielder of the instrument

 

 

 

Hi Victor,
Very good site.
But I was hoping for something original that isn't just stolen from a
saga.

thanks,
Elizabeth
