Since I've been drafting Dragonmarked officially, I got to sort-of rewrite a scene I've posted before, and thought I'd share with you guys! I'm using my old dragonmarked taglist below, but feel free to let me know if you want to be removed!

The WhatChaMaCallit-Schwert | HROARR

Facebook Google+ LinkedIn Tumblr In Sweden we have a saying; “A loved child has many names” and looking at what is today called a federschwert this seems to be true for this type of sword as well, at least if we think of it in general terms as a sword for training. Historically, the simplest …

“In Sweden we have a saying; “A loved child has many names” and looking at what is today called a federschwert this seems to be true for this type of sword as well, at least if we think of it in general terms as a sword for training.

Historically, the simplest choice of word was of course schwert, and it was certainly the most commonly used alongside of the less used langen schwert, but terms like paratschwert and fechtschwert have also been used historically, at least in non-fechtbucher sources, although it is hard to tell what the words actually mean. This article attempts to explore the historical background and use of these different terms.”

Joachim Meyer's dagger system | HROARR

Facebook Google+ LinkedIn Tumblr Note: This is a working document and will continuously be updated as we work with our interpretations of Joachim Meyer’s dagger teachings. Similarly to how I worked with his staff teachings I will attempt at systemizing the principles and techniques taught and described both in his writings and his illustrations. Analysis …

A quick overview of the basic of Meyers systems approach to dagger but also a very useful description on how to approach manuscript interpretation generally, obvious basics to some but wonderful info for those just getting into the whole thing.

For those interested in dagger fighting generally check out this old posts as well as the dagger tab as well as these ones(the last three linking to videos on Meyer’s dagger specifically).

Facebook Google+ LinkedIn Tumblr The procession arrives at the square. Publicans erects their tents and tap their barrels. Musicians collect into bands, and other performers wander the incoming crowd. Dominating the center of the square is a square fence, large enough to host several pairs of fencers at once. Spectators gather while fencers warm up. …

I forgot to mention in the dragon post that dragons choose their human names when they take on human forms; their dragon name is something in the dragon’s language, sounds a human could never make. They choose a human name, carefully in most cases, to have something humans can refer to them as. 

I like to remind people that this means the dragon equivalent of a prince named himself Hróarr and it’s pronounced, to my knowledge, just about what you’d expect.

Character Aesthetics: Hróarr

“If I hadn't taken you from the humans those Priests would have killed you.” His mouth tightened. “I couldn't let that happen.”

“Why not?” She demanded. Her shoulders were so tense she thought she might start shaking. “What does it matter to you?”

“You are my ‘marked. I would feel your death. I would feel it as if it were my own, and then have to keep on living as if a part of me had been ripped out.”

He grabbed her wrist before she could strike, hard enough she gasped slightly. Without taking his eyes from hers, he slowly tugged her glove off, and then pushed her sleeve up past her elbow, so that the mark was exposed. “Fate bound us together, Aryleigh.” He jerked his chin, and she knew his eyes had fixed on the matching marks across her face. “The magic chose you for me-”

“I am not yours to own,” she hissed, the smile falling away. She yanked at his hold on her wrist, but he ignored her, and went on as if she hadn’t done anything at all.

“-and me for you. We’re a pair, bonded whether you like it or not. You don’t have to complete the bond, Aryleigh. I won’t force that on you. But there’s no taking back the ‘marks on your skin. You are and forever will be dragonmarked.”

aesterea replied to your post “Out of Hróarr, Aryleigh, Renier, and Fira, who do y'all know thr least...”

i don’t think i know anything about renier? and i know very little about hroarr

well hroarr is the dragon heir; he holds a very powerful and respected place among dragons. One day he’ll be their leader, and everyone is aware of this. he’s a quiet, almost too serious sort of man. He’s been raised to know he’s going to be leading his people (dragons?) and he takes it very seriously. 

I know he’s best friends with Renier and Runar, and that they both were going to be in his inner circle when he became the Elder. He’s aryleigh’s dragon (or rather, she’s his marked) and he’s been looking for her for almost two decades now. He’s actually a little hurt at how much she hates him, because he’s never going to wish her harm, and has been desperate to keep her safe for her own good. He’s very book smart, something he and Renier bonded over, and a lot of his schooling has been skewed that way, but he’s semi decent with fighting just because tensions with elves are rising and he needs to be able to defend himself?

I’m not sure if he’s bi or gay but I’m starting to think he’s also on the ace spectrum. Don’t quote me on that though, because it’s definitely subject to change as i write.
