Summoning of the Hring

To prepare for their journey the Saxkrasi organized into Hlaedr or a ladder.  Establishing a division of labor that the right and proper tasks would be carried out thus preventing chaos for the tribe.  The division of labor ensured that all would be governed well in war, that they would have food at table, and the Tivar would hear their voices.

The three divisions were broken into those who rule, those who build or sell, and those who petition the Tivar

Lord Arn, Duke of the Saxkrasi gained fame by hunting the tri-clawed beast known as a Drak [The Drakür though is yet not become this Drak is a kind of bird] that had taunted the village of his tribe for many years.  He slew the beast with Van-Guard his saxkra wrought by Serilda the Elf maiden.  It is because of this that his kinsmen call Arn, Drak or Arn-Drak slayer of the beast of three claws.

Fearing that at any one of the three Hlaedr might gain power over the others Arn-Drak called  a Folk-Moot to set in place a ruling counsel ensuring all three castes would voice their piece in the tribes doings.

Driving the blade Van-Guard into the ground before him Arn-Drak proclaimed the Folk-Moot open. The light of the sun entered the blood-stone breaking into nine beams of light shining upon the Nine Lords:

1: From among the Konar, the warriors and protectors stepped forward three to stand with the Herzog. A great Dryhten, Koris stepped forward saluting his Herzog with the claw on fist.  Koris skilled in the arts or war, though he served well when under frith organizing all free-born in games of skill, knowing best when to raise a horn of mead in friendship.

The foot soldier Gram the Hammer took his place among the Hring.  Dedicated to his duty Gram held his oaths fast, seeking honor for his kindred and tribe.

At last the Lady Vorcha joined the Nine Lords.  An unusual choice a noble lady as counselor of war.  Who better to be a voice of moderation when men call for blood letting against the welfare of the tribe? Or who better to call for blood when men grow weak then a wrathful woman to spurn them to combat?

Arn-Drak bestowed gifts of three rings set with red-gold and cloaks the color of blood upon the new Ring lords from the class of Konar.

2: From among the Tahru, the priests and speakers of song stepped forward three to stand with the Herzog. Surja a keeper of the shards of Fordon, knower of the answer to Serilda's riddle stepped forward. The lord Surja kept the lore the Kuras in trust that the Folk would never forget the land, which they originated from.

The Vedik Lür joined his lord Surja in the ring of nine.  Lür kept the Kaliburn writing and sounded the oxen horn before the Hof.  Daily Lür gifted mead to the Tivar before the fire hörg.

Ribhus a Khalr (literally: "caller" a skald) and master metal-smith joined the three lords.  Ribhus knew also Serilda's riddle; he to held the shards in his keep within his forge.

Arn-Drak bestowed gifts of three rings set with sapphires and cloaks the color of midnight blue upon the new Ring lords from the class of Tahru.

3: From among the Guilthari, the tradesmen, farmers, and craftsmen stepped forward three to stand with the Herzog. Gül the tradesmen known for acting fairly toward the farmers and craftsmen of the tribe joined the Hring.

The farmer and herdsmen Urksa stood next among the nine. He had often prepared the growers and reapers for the long winters and during draught had expertly fed his fields thus feeding the tribe.

Borg the master builder raised a great Hof to Serilda; his ships were the fastest upon the dark sea.  He joined the three lords in their ring of nine.

Arn-Drak bestowed gifts of three rings set with emeralds and cloaks the color of fir nettles upon  the new Ring lords from the class of Guilthari.

Nine lords' stand in a ring, three times three.

Three of the Konar, Three of the Tahru, and Three of the Guilthari.

Speaks each his doom in the ring of rulership.  Cloaked in color of rightful rank.

Both choosers and chosen by duke upon his throne are the Nine Lords.

Broken ring, broken Folk the Hring and Duke are one.

Nine lords' stand in a ring, three times three.
