*Brusca watches as the Emperors sister leaves*
Well unlike her brother she's a straight forward little thing, Odin will have his eyes on her.......
*Her mind turns back to the Emperor and what his sister had said, she shakes her head and tries to discount the thought again*

OOC: Yes.


''This is good food!'' said Julia and the Inquisitors.

"Glad you like it."

OOC: Where did everybody else go?

What do you mean?

*Brusca's stomach rumbles, she wonders what the emperor and his guests were eating. Thinking for a moment and a wicked almost evil grin creeps over her face*
Perhaps they are being served the nations national animal.......All concidering that would be a fitting dish!

''It's a suggestion.''

OOC-Are you in Asatru?
Brusca is waiting for him in his rooms at the palace

Julia then sung a hymn-Having Seen the Resurrection of the Lord

''Having beheld the resurrection of Christ,
let us worship the holy Lord Jesus,
the only Sinless One.
We venerate Thy Cross, O Christ,
and we hymn and glorify Thy holy resurrection,
For Thou art our God, and we know no other than Thee;
we call on Thy name.
Come, all you faithful,
let us venerate Christ's holy resurrection.
For, behold, through the cross
joy has come into all the world.
Ever blessing the Lord,
let us praise His resurrection,
for by enduring the cross for us,
He has destroyed death by death.'' sung Julia.

What's this have to do with Asatru?

OOC.
Look, with all this OOC stuff going on, I am totally confused and have no idea what you are going on about. What, who or where is Asatru?

Here is info on Asatru-The Gods and Goddesses of Asatru


The Gods and Goddesses we honor in Asatru are divided into two families or tribes, called the Aesir and the Vanir. The Aesir include Odin, Frigga, Thor, Tyr, and many of the other well-known deities, while the Vanir comprise Frey, Freya, their father the sea-God Njord, and others.

The Holy Powers as described by our ancestors are not immortal, nor invincible, and they have their faults and foibles. In short, they are a lot like us, their younger kin. We can identify with them, and the stories of their exploits speak plainly to our hearts. And so it should be...

So let us meet some of them!


Odin

Odin, Father of the Gods, restlessly pursues hidden wisdom as he prepares for Ragnarok, the great battle against the forces of evil. Chosen warriors join him in Valhalla after death, there to feast and fight until that dreadful day. Odin hung nine days on the World Tree to win the secret of the runes, and traded one of his eyes for a drink from the Well of Wisdom. He wanders on his enigmatic missions among all the worlds. Sometimes he is seen as an old, gray-bearded man in a wide-brimmed hat, and at other times he rides on his eight-legged horse accompanied by his two wolves and his pair of ravens.

The Anglo-Saxons called him Woden, from which we get the name of the third day of the week, Wednesday...or Woden's Day.

Thor

Red-bearded, huge of appetite, and immensely strong, Thor guards the realms of Gods and of humans against the depredations of the giants. His weapon is the wondrous hammer, Mjolnir. This death-dealing instrument carries the might of the thunderbolt, and always returns to Thor's hand after he throws it. Men and women often wear amulets in the shape of Thor's hammer as a sign of courage, strength, and loyalty to the sacred ways of our ancestors.

Thor gives his name to the fourth day of the week, Thursday...or Thor's Day.

Tyr

Tyr is a God of battle, of sacrifice, and of justice. His right hand was snapped off in the slavering jaws of the giant wolf, Fenris - but his loss was the world's gain, for it enabled the wolf to be bound, harmless, until Ragnarok. Tyr is a shining example of the warrior, who valiantly protects others at cost to himself. His rune ( ) was often carved on sword hilts for victory. Among the Vikings and their Germanic cousins, Tyr was the God to whom the assembly of free men was dedicated; thus he is known as a God of law and justice.

Among the Anglo-Saxons, Tyr was known as Tiu. His name lives on in the second day of the week, Tuesday or Tiu's Day.

Frigga

Frigga is Odin's wife and the queen of the Gods. She is the patroness of families - and thus the builder of civilizations. Men and women call upon Frigga for healthy babies. She is no meekly domestic Goddess who hides in her husband's shadow, however; Frigga assertively stands up to Odin and pits her will against his when she feels she is in the right. She stubbornly championed her favorite tribe, the Langobards, and tricked Odin into giving them victory. Though she generally has little to say, her silence hides a deep wisdom.

Friday, or Frigga's Day, is named in her honor.

Ullr

Ullr, the ancient God of death and winter, moves throught the white-clad forest on his snowshoes. Ready with his bow of yew wood, he hunts game - and thus partakes in the mysteries of life and death. Devotion to Ullr goes back far into the mists of prehistory, back to the time when only the bow stood between the tribe and starvation. Later, Vikings called on him for help in duels, and he was seen as a God of the shield. In later times Ullr's snowshoes became skis, and even today some skiers wear pins with Ullr's image on them and ask his blessing on their sport.

Freya

Freya is the Goddess of love and beauty, of joy and pleasure. Wealth and prosperity are her natural domain, as well. But this most beautiful of the Goddesses is no merely pretty plaything, for she is wise in the ways of war and is queen of Odin's battle-maidens, the valkyries. Freya takes half the fallen heroes from the field of strife and bears them to her hall, there to spend the afterlife with her. The necklace Brisingamen highlights her beauty, but cannot compete with her natural charms.


Frey

Frey is brother to Freya. Forthright and bold, he is the very figure of male potency and virility. The good harvest, prosperity, and the life of joy and pleasure are his gifts. But Frey does have his warlike side; his ferocity is like that of the wild boar when the battle-mood is upon him. Heroes in ancient times wore boar-crested helmets in his honor. The stallion, too, is associated with Frey and the Norse sagas tell of sacred horses connected with his worship.

Idun

Idun, joyful and full of the optimism of youth, is the bearer of the apples which make the Gods and Goddesses young when they begin to age. She carries them in a wonderfully carved wooden box, ready to dispense to any who need her sevices. Bragi, most skilled of poets, is her husband.

Heimdal

Heimdal is the watchman of the Aesir. He stands guard at Bifrost Bridge, leading into the home of the Gods. Heimdal's hearing is so sharp that he can hear wool growing on a sheep's back, and his vision is as good by night as by day. The ram is the animal associated with Heimdal

Balder

Most beautiful of the Gods, Odin's son Balder is slain by the blind God Hoder, at the instigation of Loki. His death ushers in the time of the great battle, Ragnarok. Balder (His name means "bold") is the example of the innocent warrior, the novice undergoing trial and initiation. Seemingly invulnerable, he is struck down when he leasts expects it. Fate, mortality, chance and rebirth are the great themes that echo through his life and death, and into our own experience.

Loki

Mischievous Loki seems to be the instigator of most of the difficulties in which the Gods and Goddesses find themselves. Fortunately for him, he is usually the one who solves these problems, as well. Quick witted and tricky, he is blood-brother to Odin and often goes a-journeying with the other Gods and Goddesses. At the end of this cycle of time, Loki becomes more than mischievous, and sides with the adversaries of the Gods at Ragnarok.

I am NOT in Asatru!

OOC
For the final and last time.

The question on Brusca's 'religion' (which isn't strictly true because she is a Valkyrja (true old nordic for Valkerie), is a strictly in character question and one which you are not able to ask her.

I am well aware of the Nordic ancestors and the huge long OOC posting that you so kindly placed on here is a very immature and simplistic version of the true religion/story/legends or whatever you wish to term them. There is no metion of the Goddess Hel and the underworld (which the christians now call hell) The Valkerie or at least half a dozen other Goddess'.

As for my personal OOC religious beliefs?
I think the phrase 'non of your damn business' springs to mind.

I have tried to help you, as you have said you are new to role play, (though I notice that your nation state, by the size of it's population could be at least a year old) and I have noticed that other players have been trying to.
But I am going to have to say enough is enough.
You have at least six threads all identical in content and goodness knows how many others that players have set up for you again on the same theme.
Your long posts, well doccuments actually (which you have copied and posted on several threads at the same time) and this constant disruption, has made something that I enjoy into almost a hardship.

Pleasepleaseplease, PLEASE STOP!

To Tocrowkia....


Continue the RP.


Ya know dude, I cant post 24/7. I really cant. I used to be up all the time, but I began to experience some health problems from that...


You need to be patient with me.

OOC
And now I have gone and posted a huge ooc message as well! :mad:

Tocrowkia,
I apologise for filling your thread with all of this, it is not a thing that I normally do at all, infact I hate doing it. :(

If you think that it is worth us continueing to roleplay the Brusca/Josef thing through then please send me a telegraph and we will continue.
Otherwise I will call it a day as Rommelwood and his thousand and one daughters named Julia is doing my head in. :headbang:

If not, thanks for the fun. ;)

*LOL*
Tocrowkia,
You've popped back on.....
Is it worth continueing with this?

I think it is, but perhaps we should do it over telegrams, it would be less confusing and cleaner.

Well the only other thing is to start a new thread.
One problem I can see with telegrams is that there is no record of what has been sent, only the reply, so if there is a delay in replying we may lose where we are.
Tonight will be my last late night stint (I'm in the UK, it's now 11.45 am here).
Unfortunately it's back to the real world on wednesday, so like you, I do need sleep!

Do you hate me?

Of course I don't hate you, I am frustrated agravated and frazzled by you, but why the hell would I want to hate you?

Sacred Emperor Lucifer of Domain Halcyon has expressed interest in a marriage between his second cousin and the Emperor. Her name is Shaera of Domain Halcyon. She is 5 foot 8, blonde, and generally considered very beautiful, bringing favorable comparison with the Imperial Consort herself. She is intelligent, but does not enjoy domestic arts. Instead, she spends her time training to be an Intelligence agent, and so if the Emperor does not approve, of course that is acceptable.

OOC: I'll start the new thread in the Nation Sates forum later.

ooc *smiles*

ooc: Or maybe you could do it. I'm a bit pressed for time, and the opening post would probably be crappy.

Doing it now.......*whimper*.......hate starting threads......*snivel* ;)

Will that be a thread for only Josef and Brusca? I was wanting to join this, though if it is too late, and if I'll only be a hindrance, just let me know.

Done and dusted see The Emperor and the Valkyrja [IC invite only] on Nation States
