Aelfwyn - Queen of the Danes



Aefwin and Katla's older brother, Harald was heir to the throne of Denmark. He and his sisters went to England in search of adventure. In England, Harald discovered that an old enemy was now ruling in Yorvik. Harald and his hearthband began raiding the lands of the King of Yorvik. Eventually there was a battle and Harald was killed. Alf's twin sister Aelflaed was kidnapped by raiders from Yorvik . Harald  had married, sand left a young son; his wife had diedin Childbirth. When Their father died, Alf and Katla returned to Denmark and became Queens of the Danes. They are raising their brother's son to become King. Alf travels a lot in search of he twin sister. In her traels she often wears male clothing and passes herself off as a young man. Aelfwyn has always enjoyed pursuits that are more commonly associated with me: she knows how to use a sword and bow, and enjoys horseback riding, and sailing. Her father used to call her his Shieldmaden. with their father gone, Aelfwyn fears that the Norse and Swedes may combine to invade Denmark, and she is often in Norway gathering information and looking for her twin sister.

Katla - Queen of the Danes


Being forced into an arranged marriage not wanted Katla cut her braid off in defiance and ran away from the village her Father ruled in, To complete her disguise she also changed her last name to hide her parentage. While on the road she met up with Aelfwyn, her elder sister to help her on her travels.to find her twin and my other  elder sister Alflaed.

Asvid 'redbush'  ~The Mead House Lady~



My husband and I embarked on a fishing trip one clear spring day unaware that tragedy was waiting not far from us.
A terrible storm caught us by surprise, waves taking down our small fishing boat.  I was lucky enough to escape with my life, but I do not think my husband was lucky enough...I haven't seen him since.
Each night I stand by the shore looking North waiting for the day he will he come home.

She works hard as a Mead House Lady, she fights, a good soul, but very dirty with her mouth, watch out!
 to many she is known "redbush".
Great with the bow!

Asvid's Story

My husband and I embarked on a fishing trip one clear spring day unaware that tragedy was waiting not far from us.


As we gathered our fishing gear, watching the big fishes clearly swimming around the boat, I can remember his sweet and satisfied grin under his blonde and bushy beard.



The skies began to turn gray and the waves became furious from one moment to another...looking up as a very large wave approached us taking down our boat under water...I struggled to stay afloat, I was able to grab on to a piece of wood floating around me, the waves kept coming bringing me under a few times before I was able to get a good grip, holding on tight, embracing the board for my life was depending on it.

As the storm died out I looked around, only seen the wreck that was left from the short but devastating storm.   I looked all over, I searched for my husband who was no where in sight, I screamed for him, and nothing, he never answered back...I know He is a great swimmer, and my heart tells me he is somewhere, somewhere out there.  I am not giving up searching for him for one day I have the hope to find him.

I was rescued by some fishermen passing through, they weren't too kind and I had to earn my way back home...

Back to Ultima Thule, to the Norse, to my sweet and loving home...without a husband, only fishing skills, the ability to use the bow, and the survival skills I learned with my husband.

have i been gone such long time that I can't remember where my home is?...All I can remember I am from the Norse! A proud woman of the Norse!

I am a hard worker, true to my Queen and her followers!

Finding my way once again...

Each night, at sun down...I stand by the shores of the Norse hoping one day my husband will come home

Ultima Thule Minor

I haven't been able to log in much this days, RL is taking over and trying to get a grip on things...

Since MissE started the changes in UT Minor each time I log in takes my breath away...It looks so wonderful!!

The details she adds to the SIM are completely amazing and it just makes you want to stay forever...is like you are actually there!

She makes up this fabulous games, picture contests! Oh my the picture contests!

I took several pics...ok, I must admit I went a little berserk taking pics, but they are so wonderful!!

It is amazing to transport into a place that is magical, takes your breath away, feels peaceful until of course there is a raid, then you have to pull out the bows and arrows, the swords, and after that is drinking ale, singing of victory, and tons of eating!!

I love the viking life...in SL of course









felt as if I was in a real art museum...hehe

each time i log into Thule...I feel I am...HOME

From SL to RL with love
