Ulfar & Tyra Leiknir

Tyra wiped her brow with a fur covered bracer as she and Masaki re-joined the table, the crowd of men and women still cheering from the duel display as her father stood to make a speech. “Today is a good day. We celebrate the beginning of a great friendship between the Leiknir and the people of Wa. It is they who are to become our secret weapon to drive fear into the other clans and trample them in our stride. It is the people of Wa who will aid to re-unite our shattered lands and bring the Fyrkat once more under one king.” He turned to face the honoured guests. “And for this, the people of Leiknir are grateful; as such we have prepared gifts to remember such a momentous occasion. Ulfar gestured towards the cleared floor as two display carts were wheeled into the room, each covered with a bear fur.

“We present to you, cloaks made entirely from the skins of the rarest of animals in Fyrkat, the snow leopard.” He explained as the first bear skin was removed, revealing three cloaks of speckled ash grey fur. “And secondly, we present to you rings of the finest dwarven craftsmanship, forged deep within the mountains.” The second skin was removed presenting three glittering silver rings, each circled with blue sapphires somehow shaped into the block lettering of the Fyrkat runes.

Ulfar gestured one of his massive hands and servants brought the gifts forward to the table, presenting the Wa with their respective gifts. Tyra couldn’t help but smile, the rings were incredibly fine and even she had to admit they were beautiful; lightly magical too, granting the wearer protection from the natural elements.
