#Ulfhednar Viking

[fullofsunsetwhispers]

Who is your favorite fallen warrior?

Mine is Omi Chase Young the Samurai in the fancy fullbody armor!

The Tiki warrior! In a fight with Cyclops, he has proven that short people can kick ass, too! I bet he's the fastest in Chase's army.

He's fast, can shoot arrows, has an interesting design, but most importantly

he is capable of the most unpredictable things ever.

He's the apple of my eye because he never fails to make me smile when he appears on screen in that tank lol

And I must admit he has an interesting fighting style, as well! He can catch any object with his legs and that's kinda neat! Respect that dude <3

My second best fallen warrior is Ulfhednar Viking

There are many reasons why I like him. Apart from his cool design, it is noteworthy that he's the only one that can freely change forms from a tiger to a bird and at last human. He's Chase's no1 spy and he has big kudos from me for manipulating Wuya. He made her think he has betrayed his master only to rub it in her face later lol (it was in the Oil in the family episode)

Additionally, I love @grasshopperdoingdogpaddle's interpretation of him where he is described as Omi's favorite cat-pal sdfghj

And I also see why you like the samurai so much, dear anon! Although, I must say he's right after the ladies on my list.

Zulu warrior Lady and Greek Warrior Lady my beloveds <3 I just think they're neat and dfghj women that can fight sdfghjk <3

odd question: did the norse people ever worship or venerate the warriors of Valhalla? or was it just a goal to aspire to?

The Old Norse people worshipped their ancestors, some of which went to Valhalla, and some who were definitely heroes. But I don't think they worshipped "the warriors of Valhalla" as an archetype, or as paragons to emulate. Valhalla wasn't even viewed as a goal to aspire to. Rather, it was a consolation prize for dying far from home.

Prior to the Viking Age, the Norse people believed they rejoined their family and ancestors after they died. However, this was dependent on the fact they would be buried in the family grave or barrow.

But going a-viking meant risking death far from home, and this death would most likely happen while out at sea or during a skirmish.

In order to reconcile the question of "Where do we go if we can't be with our families?", the Norse people concluded that if they died out at sea, they went to Njord's hall, and if they died in a skirmish, they went to Odin's or Freyja's hall. This way, they had the comfort of knowing they would still be with their gods and people if they perished far from home.

It's important to keep in mind that the vikings were not exactly a warrior class; as in, "being a warrior" wasn't their job. They were pirates. And like all pirates, their goal was to retrieve goods, either by trade or by raid. Most vikings had every intention of making it home alive, and just like being a skilled sailor improved these odds, so did knowing how to put an axe through a man's skull.

Dying while going a-viking was honorable for the same reason that successfully returning home with goods was honorable; it's the fact that a person risked their life to travel very far away and gather resources for their family and community. It's an honorable deed.

But just because this death was honor-worthy doesn't mean it was a goal.

First of all, let's consider the practical aspect here: In a pre-industrial era, no one in their right mind would waste an entire ship on a crew that didn't plan to come back in it.

Secondly, "dying gloriously on the battlefield" only has widespread cultural importance in imperial nations; nations motivated by dominion, conquest, and establishing their widespread rule. Not only were the Norse societies not imperial, they didn't even have a centralized military, let alone the manpower to fight the rank-and-file wars we associate with the term "war."

So I guess the short answer to your question is "neither." Heroes were definitely venerated, but the notion that becoming ulfhednar makes someone the worthiest of all worthies is a retroactive interpretation.

Werewolves explained - from ancient legends to Hollywood!

As the horror genre revives in the movies and streaming TV series - it's time that werewolves were explained being a hugely popular monster!

What are the origins of the Werewolf myth? This strange story of cursed people unable to resist transforming into a wolf at the Full Moon – with the consequent murderous rampage. Why is this monster so enduring and if anything, more popular than ever? It came as a surprise to me to discover a literary genre termed ‘werewolf erotica’ and all that teen-focussed TV content featuring our lupine…

Meanwolves: A Quick Reference Guide

Intro to the Setting and Terminology

Shelter Mountain

Alpha: Lance

Beta: Blake

Shepherds: Max, Sully

Other important members: Basil (tech support)

A small, fledgling pack, still learning the finer points of keeping pack humans. Many members are younger (early to mid 20s) and were outcasts in their original home/pack. The commune is fully “modernized” with a handful of computers and one television, as well as internet access. Shelter Mountain is commonly seen at nearby craft fairs selling baked goods, furniture and handicrafts. Among their human neighbors, they have a fearsome reputation due to the ruthlessness of their alpha and their strong ties to a more powerful pack.

Hoarfrost Falls

Alpha (heartland): Vanagandr

Beta (heartland): Sawyer

Medic: Linden

Alpha (regional): Druian

Other Important Members: Flint (shepherd in training), Corbin (hrefn)

A large, established pack whose territory encompasses a mountain range and several neighboring human cities. Its history and founding members are tied to the ulfhednar, werewolves who fought alongside vikings, and so ulfhednar beliefs and traditions are still practiced in Hoarfrost Falls. The pack is generally wary of technology but members in leadership positions are permitted cell phones. While mostly self-sufficient, they make occasional appearances at craft fairs to sell or trade excess produce and other goods. The pack maintains a tense but stable relationship with neighboring human governments by offering its services for a variety of odd jobs, such as search and rescue, conservation, and bounty hunting.

Hoarfrost Falls is an unusually large territory for a single pack to hold. Its alpha, Vanagandr, maintains and defends the territory by dividing it into numerous smaller “regions.” Each region of the territory is home to a sub-pack, and each sub-pack is governed by its own regional alpha and beta. All regional leaders are subordinate to Vanagandr, who presides both over the pack as a whole and more directly over his own pocket of Hoarfrost Falls’ territory, a region commonly referred to as “the heartland.”

In 1066 England marked the end of the Viking Age, around this time the Ulfhednar and Berserkirs were disbanded and marked for death if they continued their practice (most areas before then because of Christianization). The stories of the Faoladh and other wolfman/werewolf stories started around 1100. Am I the only one that wonders if some of the Irish and Scottish stories are about the scattered remnants of Ulfhednar and their descendants? Just look at the story of the Wolf Men of Tipperary, they sound just like the Ulfhednar to me. This is something I have pondered for a while, maybe more so than others because of my lineage, it's Scandinavian, Scottish and Native American.

(A popular legend recounts the history of the Laignach Faelad/the Faoladh, also known as the Wolf Men of Tipperary. These men were known as feral and savage warriors, so brutal that it was said they transformed into beasts on the battlefield and wolves when war erupted. Ancient Irish kings and chieftains would hire the Faoladh and unleash them on their enemies. These mercenary warriors had no allegiance to any particular king.)

Ulfhednar Úlfhéðnar Wolf Elite Warriors Viking Ragnarok Zip Hoodie

The Ulfhednar Wolf were a group of Viking warriors who originated from ancient Norse religious rites (most likely those involving Odin, chief Viking God who was most venerated by the Vikings, had two giant wolves as pets, and was destined to be swallowed by a giant wolf at the battle of Ragnarok). The Ulfhednar wore wolf skins, and their own skin was black-died. These howling warriors were so wolf-like in behavior and ferocity that they inspired/influenced later European werewolf folklore. Like the berserkers, they performed chants and ritual prior to battle to get in a “Berserker Rage”, when, through adrenaline, they became much stronger (possibly upwards of ten times stronger than normal) and faster, became immune to pain, and bleed less. Úlfhéðnar are well beyond Berserkir. They are Óðinn’s special warriors, and elite Viking forces. They are known to wear a wolf pelt (in contrast to regular Berserkir who wear a bear pelt), and to be inhabited by the spirit of wolves. Úlfhéðnar are capable of performing feats far beyond the abilities of other warriors. Úlfhéðnar are hamrammir (shape shifters). They don’t wear a helmet or a mailcoat, bit their shield in a rage prior to each battle, kill enemies with just one blow, and are immune to fire or iron. Without Berserkir and Úlfhéðnar as shock troops, King Haraldr hárfagri would have been unsuccessful in his quest to unify Nóregr (Norway). After all, Úlfhéðnar, were not only the best warriors of the time, they were also the most feared. It was said that to kill an Ulfhednar, you had to crush their heads. HAIL PAGAN REBELS!
