The Staff of the Skalds of Bjornsborg
by Alisandre Oliphant
My people! It was suggested I share this here as well as to Bjornsborg, because it’s your history too.
Bjornsborg has been here for over 40 years, but never wanting to follow the crowd, didn’t have titled anythings until about six years ago. But from the earliest, our skalds were legendary, called for around fires and influencing how Ansteorra did performance.
I did not want those names to be lost. So I reached to the barony, collected from them the names of people who made magic around the fire, tears or laughter; those whose voices rang in their memory. I took the staff of another honored old Bjornsborg member, Ralf Oxhandler. And I carved the names onto his staff for the skalds of Bjornsborg to carry.
So, my people! Call on the holder of this staff when you see it, call for their skill! And say the names, so that the memory of these legends lives on.
