Natt Sang is the name given to the band of skalds hailing from all over the Northlands. During the month of June AS XXXVII (2002) Torgny Vintersorg, a brutish and loud mouthed Geat, and Vargen Utsvarden, a dashing, suave, and somewhat scrawny Russ, joined forces in the Kingdom of An Tir to battle the mediocraty of drum circles. During the next several years the two hired and enslaved numerous and varied musicians. Celts, Russ, and all manner of Vikings joined Torgny's band of skalds but few survived his tyranny.

Torgny has aquired a stash of booze and trinkets in his travels fit for a very poor king. Notable benefators to his cache include His and Her Excellencies [[Owain and Wrenn]], Former Baron and current master of brutality [[Sven RedBeard Einarsson]], their excellency's Baron [[Godric ap Rhys]] and Baroness [[Kara of Saint David]] of [[Glymm Mere]], the [[Towne of KeyPoynt]] and their extremely un-talented but good-looking {or so his wife thinks) bard [[Kenneniah]], [[House Meðelstede]], [[Clan Carn]], and numerous others that he has looted and pillaged. And though he claims every night to despise Vodka he sees fit to end every performance with a song in its honor.
 
 
 
Lady Rhyslyn 
Torgny's current concubine Lady Rhyslyn of Soundstream is the offspring of Lord [[Red Angus]] and Lady Solais of Soundstream, a product of a filthy hyberno-norseman and a buxom celt. She is perhaps the group's most versatile musician, proficiantly able to play the celtic flute, the irish whistle, the celtic harp, as well as guitar, bass, and actually singing. She is also proficient at doing Torgny's laundry and washing his dishes. She currently acts as the house's Husmor, Emmisarian, and is the primary seamstress.

 
 
Geirrekr Moolfsson 
Geirrekr, or as he is affectionatly reffered to as "Big Little Pickle," is Natt Sang's Vakten and acts as the defender of Lady Rhyslyn. He is the house's heavy fighter and currently is serving the barony of [[Glymm Mere]] under the banner of Baron [[Godric ap Rhys]]. He is in fact more troll than man though no one is sure which one of his parents was green and dragged their knuckles on the floor. He wraps his mighty sausage fingers around an 11 string guitar and beats it until it makes music. Ohh and he also enjoys poetry.

 
 
Wilhelm Vildsvin 
Being Torgny's younger brother, Willhelm has had a hard life. He shares Vakten duties with Gerieker and acts as Torgny's defender. His other duties include gathering sticks, holding lanterns, and being the house booze ferry.

 
 
Lord Red Angus 
Father of Lady Rhyslyn, Lord [[Red Angus]] is an unconventional hyberno-norseman. He is a member of the [[Order of the Grey Goose Shaft]] and enjoys brewing, metal working, and eating recently dead animals in his free time. Lord Angus is an adept Bagpiper and also sings, plays the greek bouzouki, bass, and guitar.

 
 
Lady Solais 
Lady Solais is Lord [[Red Angus]]' wife and the mother of Lady Rhyslyn. She spends most of her time with her horses and frequently feeds them better than her husband. She was recently made an [[equestrian]] marshal in training. When not conversing with her equine friends she makes beautiful music, singing and playing her many harps.

 
 

Bryan 
How an obnoxious russ wound up with an irish name is a mystery that may never be solved. Bryan is a sarcastic young man who delights in insulting and infuriating Geirrekr and Torgny. He is good for little more than banging on a dead animal stretched over a bucket and eating the leftover scraps of food out of the garbage.

 
 
Torgny Vintersorg 
Torgny Vintersorg, a name the echoes throughout the Northlands. Wood worker says the wind, Bass Player whispers the Earth. Never in the history of man has a more charismatic man walked the... Torgny is a lazy beuracratic jerk who has everyone do everything for him and then he takes credit for it. He built the Hangerot sure... but has it ever stayed up for a whole event? He plays bass sure... but can you actually hear a bass? Ohh and he cooks... if by cooking you mean emptying a can of beans into a pot and onto his tunic. And yes he sings but at midnight are you honestly sober enough to tell if he is on key? Torgny is in charge yes... if telling everyone around you what to do and strutting about means you are in charge.

 
 
Toki 
Torgny's cat.

Households

2009-11-01T04:33:15Z

Rhyslyn:

'''Households''' are groups within the [[SCA]], usually based around an interest in certain areas of SCA endeavour, or friendship groups (or both!). Sometimes a [[peer]] will form a household that includes his/her [[apprentice]]s/[[protege]]s/[[squire]]s. Unlike other [[groups]], such as a [[barony]], Households aren't based on geography (although members of a household may be from a particular geographical area), they are not official [[groups]] of the [[Society]], and any "[[membership|membership requirements]]" of a household are at the discretion of the household. Being "unofficial", a household cannot hold official meetings or [[events]], but they are more than welcome to run events ''on behalf'' of the official group. They may include or exclude anybody they like, whereas an official group cannot do this.

They can be a great support network, and often the activities of the household will extend beyond SCA. Another way to look at it is that a household is your "family" and the group the [[village]]/[[hamlet]] that you live in.

You do not have to be a part of any household, and just because someone is a part of a particular household does not mean that you can't hang out with them. You can even start your own household if you want to!

Master [[Iustinos Tekton]], called Justin, has recently posted an educational article on [[SCA]] [[households]]. The article can be found [http://sca.4th.com/justin/articles/households-intro here].

==Households of the Known World==

*Well known households in the [[Kingdom of Lochac]] include [[Attica]], [[Drakkar]], [[DX]], and [[Descartes]]. For a larger listing of Lochac households, see [[Groups in Lochac]].
::Households in and around [[Stormhold]] include [[House Reverie]] (based around Sir [[Antoine le Reveur]] and his squires), House [[Woodrose]] (mainly an [[Arts and Sciences]] household of old broken down hacks encumbered by offspring with a few who pretend to fight once in a while when the injuries and venerability allow), Unnamed (another mostly A and S household) and [[the Axemen]] (a fighting household that is mostly demographically based around younger members with a few old, wise heads attempting to control the chaos).

* Households in [[Ansteorra]] include: [[House Arkham]] is a democratic group loosely based on medieval merchant Guilds/Households. Their interests are [[Archery]] (target and combat), Service, A and S, Merchanting, Siege and whatever else strikes their interests; [[House Lightning Mist]] is based in the Northern Region of the Kingdom of Ansteorra, with septs in the Kingdoms of Gleann Abhean and Artemesia; and a number of other households, such as [[Wolfstar]] and [[Inn of the Weeping Unicorn]].
