5. Medieval Day, Žovnek, 2024

Introduction:

The Maisters have mixed feelings about Žovnek Castle. Although we usually go there with friendly intentions, there are always grudges and battles with the locals and there is always bloodshed. Something along the lines of "when an irresistible force meets an immovable object". Apparently this is called the "sword and shield paradox". We don't have an answer to the paradox, but we will definitely go to Žovnek Castle with all the swords and shields we have! For good measure, we also take spears and axes. Eventually Žovnek Castle will surely fall. Check whether it will happen this year on Saturday at the Žovnek Castle above Braslovče.

----------------------

Maistri imamo z gradom Žovnek mešane občutke. Čeprav gremo tja ponavadi s prijateljskimi nameni, tam vedno znova pride do zamer in spopadov z domačini in vedno je prelita kri. Nekaj v smislu kot "ko neustavljiva sila sreča nepremakljiv predmet". Baje se to imenuje "paradoks sulice in ščita". Glede paradoksa nimamo odgovora, bomo pa na grad Žovnek zagotovno šli z vsemi sulicami in ščiti, kar jih premoremo! Za dobro mero pa vzamemo še meče in sekire. Enkrat bo grad Žovnek zagotovo klonil. Ali bo to letos, pa preverite v soboto na žovneškem gradu nad Braslovčami.

V. Keltski dan na Rifniku, Rifnik, 2024

Introduction:

We barely finished one event, duty calls us to the next one! One of our volvas had a vision! No rest shall we know for this weekend too, as our ancient brethren, the Celts from Rifnik need our aid! Thus, it shall be, that on this Saturday we will be on the road again, giving our viking numbers to the already plentiful numbers of Celts from ŠUDR - Športno umetniško društvo Rifnik, so that they will have a great celebration in their ancient dwelling on top of Rifnik hill! In addition, we heard that the Rifnik Celts took over some Viking games. So we have no choice but to visit them and see if they play as well as the vikings. Of course, all of you are also welcome to join us there on Saturday through the whole day - 7.9.2024!!!

-----------------------------------

Komaj smo zaključili z enim dogodkom, že nas dolžnost kliče na naslednjega! Ena naših volv (jasnovidka) je imela vizijo! Videla je, da tudi ta vikend ne bomo imeli počitka, saj naši starodavni bratje Kelti iz Rifnika potrebujejo našo pomoč! Ker temu nismo mogli ali želeli nasprotovati, bomo to soboto spet na poti in svoje vikinško število dodali še k številnim Keltom društva ŠUDR - Športno umetniško društvo Rifnik, da bodo v svojem starodavnem bivališču na vrhu hriba Rifnik podoživeli veliko praznovanje! Poleg tega nam je prišlo na ušesa, da so rifniški Kelti prevzeli nekaj vikinških iger. Tako da nam ne preostane drugega, kot da jih obiščemo in vidimo, če jih tudi igrajo tako dobro kot vikingi. Seveda ste vsi lepo vabljeni, da se nam pridružite to soboto skozi ves dan - 7.9.2024!!!

Medieval Day, Vurberk, 2024

As promised we completely overrun castle Vurberk this Saturday! The guards were taken care of, while the nobles couldn’t withstand our charm. So it wouldn't be too hard on the peasantry we delighted them with a lovely stew and bewitched their offspring with our games. The merriment lasted well into the night. The most steadfast braved the darkness to witness a new dawn.

Midgardsblot, Borre (NOR) - 2024
Aug

to Aug 20

Midgardsblot, Borre (NOR) - 2024

Introduction:

This season is phenomenal! All the northern outposts are bursting at the seams and just crying out for looting! So the Maisters returned home, only to unload the acquired (and liberated) goods, load up on new trade items and new barrels of mead, and head back north. We have just visited Denmark, Germany and Poland, but now we are going to the tried-and-true Norway, which we have already gotten to know and conquered well in previous seasons. This time only one ship is going to norvegian Borre (the rest of the team still has to count and weigh the looted silver and jewelry), but don't worry - we firmly believe that they will be just as successful as in the previous years. Besides, it's quite possible that we will take their most beautiful ship from the Norwegians and take it for ourselves. This year's looting and conquering season is indeed very successful. Stay tuned!

----------------

Letošnja sezona je fenomenalna! Vse severne postojanke pokajo po šivih in kar kličejo po zavzetju! Zato smo se Maistri vrnili domov, samo da razložimo nabavljeno (in osvobojeno) blago, naložimo nove artikle za trgovanje in nove sode medice in se podamo nazaj na sever. Dansko, Nemčijo in Poljsko smo ravnokar obiskali, zdaj pa gremo v preverjeno Norveško, ki smo jo v preteklih sezonah že dodobra spoznali in osvojili. Tokrat gre v norveški Borre zgolj ena ladja (preostanek ekipe mora še prešteti in stehtati naropano srebro in nakit), vendar brez skrbi – trdno verjamemo, da bodo enako uspešni kot minula leta. Poleg tega se čisto lahko pripeti, da bomo od Norvežanov prevzeli njihovo najlepšo ladjo in jo vzeli zase. Letošnja sezona ropanja in osvajanja je res zelo uspešna. Spremljajte še naprej!

Festival of Slavs and Vikings, Wolin (pl) 2024
Aug

to Aug 4

Festival of Slavs and Vikings, Wolin (pl) 2024

Introduction:

Many of our warriors found great success pillaging the North, so we decided to make a second raid, a bit towards the East. We shall cross the forests of the Germanic tribes and push towards the land of Poland. Apparently, there will be a huge gathering of Vikings and Slavs there, in Wolin. To ensure our success in the second part, we shall call for reinforcements just in case.

Don’t forget to stay tuned!

___________________________

Veliko naših bojevnikov je pri ropanju na severu doseglo velik uspeh, zato smo se odločili za drugi napad, nekoliko proti vzhodu. Prečkali bomo gozdove germanskih plemen in prodrli proti deželi Poljski. Menda bo tam, v Wolinu, ogromno zborovanje tako severnjakov kot Slovanov. Da bi zagotovili uspeh v tudi drugem delu, bomo za vsak slučaj poklicali okrepitve.

Ne pozabite nas redno spremljati!

Sletten Vikings, Ry (DEN) 2024

Sletten Vikings, Ry (DEN) 2024

Introduction:

The North calls to us … and we will answer! The time has come again for our main raid of the season. For the last two years we raided all the way to Norway to Midgardsblot, and we conquered it fully. We shall send a smaller party there in a few weeks to affirm our rule, but first we must subjugate the land that lies in between. That land is called Denmark. Therefore, we are sending two longships full of warriors to Sletten. A whole kingdom shall be gathered there, and great battles are expected. If they don’t accept our presence from our victories in battle, they surely will fall to the vast amounts of mead we’re bringing along. Either way the Land of the Danes shall be ours. As for all of you, stay tuned! We shall keep you well updated about our victories.

___________________________

Sever nas kliče … in mi se bomo odzvali! Spet je prišel čas za naš glavni plenilski pohod sezone. Zadnji dve leti smo napadli vse do Norveške do Midgardsblota in ga v celoti osvojili. Čez nekaj tednov bomo tja poslali manjšo skupino, da potrdi našo vladavino, a najprej si moramo podrediti deželo, ki leži vmes. Ta dežela se imenuje Danska. Zato pošiljamo dve dolgi ladji, polni bojevnikov, v Sletten. Tam bo zbrano celo kraljestvo in za pričakovati je velike bitke. Če ne bodo sprejeli naše prisotnosti zaradi naših zmag v bitkah, bodo zagotovo padli ob ogromnih količinah medice, ki jo prinašamo s seboj. V vsakem primeru bo dežela Dancev naša. Kar zadeva vas, nas redno spremljajte! O naših zmagah vas bomo sproti obveščali.

Anđeoska strijela, Varaždin (CRO) 2024

  • Varaždin, Varaždin County Croatia (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Introduction:

Like everyone, we have some annual constants. One of these is a visit to our very good friends (also for the sake of blood brotherhood) in Varaždin - the Knights of St. Nicholas and their medieval archery tournament ANĐEOSKA STRIJELA!

We are already looking forward to a beautiful place - a meadow in the middle of the forest by the river Drava in Varaždin. Why are we so looking forward to this visit? We already saw some of them at the Ljubljana castle 2 weeks ago... Yes, it's true, BUT we were all busy there and there was no time to socialize! This time will be different.

Therefore, everyone is invited to the tournament (in archery and bohurt too!) among good people and in the embrace of joy this Saturday!

See you there!

4. Medieval Day, Žovnek, 2023

Introduction:

Of course we’ll need to visit our past conquered lands at least once a year. Now it is time, to visit the caretakers of Žovnek castle, what progress they have made, what improvements to the castle defenses. And of course - the most important reason - to check if their hospitality is still great! :D

So see you on the 16. of September at their gates and hopefully it will be a merry round until evening!

Midgardsblot, Borre (NOR) - 2022

Introduction:

During our time down here almost on the bottom of the known world we always felt a little tug… For some unknown reason something in our skulls visited us in the darkest hours of the night and called us up north. We knew that we had brethren up there, but many a Jarl and many Kings perished between our voyage down south and now-a-days… BUT when we were up there in Hedeby, we heard the call clearly! We looked eachother in the eyes and saw that we all had the same idea! EVEN MORE NORTH WE MUST GO!

And so we will! Heading home into unknown adventures and to bring the immortal Saga of our migthty voyage down south back home! See you there!

The Fotevikens Viking Museum, Höllviken (swe) - 2022

The Fotevikens Viking Museum, Höllviken (swe) - 2022

Introduction:

As we were navigating unfamilliar seas and crossing unknown lands, we heard from local farmers and travelling merchants of a viking settlement right on our path! We would not be ourselves if we would not be curious and went on a quest to find it! Supposedly it goes by the name Fotevikens… so of course we are prepared for an ambush, as we do not trust passing merchants and their tales of riches unimaginable. But we are open for new things to see, new friends to make, new merchant routes to open and above all… seek ADVENTURE and KNOWLEDGE! So…. see you there!

Wikingertage, Schleswig (GER) - 2022

Introduction:

The sun is shining bright, the heat is cooking us alive. We have decided, that we needed some time on the sea. So we set sail for the MIGHTY and well known settlement of HEDEBY way up north… We will trade there, get to know strange new customs, probably brawl a little (or a lot, we will see how the locals are). Hopefully develop new friendships that will last through the ages. Fear not, the adventure will probably be a saga for the generations!

BUT there is already the first stop! :D
The viking museum (and viking village) of Hedeby!
(much plundering to be done… of knowledge of course!)

Mini Kungard, Zg. Kungota, 2022

Introduction:

As our small clan grows larger, our settlement will slowly need new additions. So we decided to work with a nearby Slavic settlement in Kungota, where we will exchange some of our furs and handicrafts for building materials. However, at the last full moon Odin himself visited out jarl in a dream and revealed to him a vision of a silver chalice, which is supposed to be located in the main building of the Slavic settlement. Such a treasure could greatly contribute to the reputation of our clan or to the construction of a larger ceremonial hall. Thus, it appears that the visit to the fair will also be a reconnaissance mission to see if the silver can change hands. While we’ll be diligently trading and working with locals, we’ll see if it might not be worth taking some souvenirs with us. If fate favors us, and our neighbors are unworthy of holding steel and protecting silver, we may just take over their settlement.

It has been a long time since we visited our friends from Varaždin… We think, that 2 winters have passed and the plague is still roaming the world. But that does not deter us not to go for a visit!
