[Ansteorra-archery] Namron Archery Cancelled

>From what I have heard no one was really sure if the Lapps wore furs or were
simply that furry themselves.....which would explain why they were out at
practice today. 

As for the "northern lights" seen from our area......i had always assumed
they were the result of the combination of all of the Hot Air and Methane
gas those north of us produce in abundance!   ; )

I cannot help it if the weaker blood of my cousin's descendants has allowed
these Lapps, these Sami, to live in the south of Norway.  In my time they
were only to be found in the wastes of Halogaland, far to the north or east
of there in Finnmark.

King Harold Fairhair has married Snaefrid, the daughter of one King Svase, a
Lapp.  By her magic she bewitched him and made him forget his kingdom and
from her came four sons.  She died and her corpse lay uncorrupted for three
years.  But Harold has come to his senses and returned to his kingship.

It has been prophesied that his son (by another queen), Eirik Bloodaxe, will
marry Gunnhildr, daughter of Ozur Toti, who he will "rescue" from the Lapps
to whom she had been sent by her father for the purpose of being trained in
witchcraft. She will use the Lapp's magic against many for her husband to
ensure his kingship.

So you see, I perforce am wary of Lapps.
