Introduction
Hengest Ulfson, created a new and amazing piece of our kingdom, as he has before. Here the moment that “Queens’ Wrath” was presented to Rhianwen for the future queens of Calontir to hold. (Post Permalink] (Hopefully.)
Mistress Aiden Cochran provided inspiration, meteoric materials and funding.
Master Alan Dale Darkdale crafted the wonderful carrying case.
From Her Majesty Rhianwen:
It has been a week, and I am still struggling to find words that will convey the emotion, praise, and sheer state of wonder surrounding the gift of Queen’s Wrath to Calontir’s Konungríki. I have concluded that such words do not exist.
She is a thing of beauty and power. Hengest, Huscarl of Calontir, put more than his skill into her making - plenty of blood, sweat, and soul are mixed into the metal. Parts of her are from his Huscarl axe, so the history of a line of stalwart warriors is woven in. She was originally conceived in a dream by Mistress Aiden, where she saw a star fall from the sky and be forged into an axe. Guided thus, Aiden brought a meteorite to Hengest to ask that the axe be made. The stuff of stars and dreams - and lifelong devotion to The Dream - is at her heart.
Master Alan’s skilled hands crafted a fine box in which she nests perfectly. Care, precision, and service surround her. For my part, I am astounded. When I first put my hand on her, the love and energy and hard work and skill and hopes and devotion to this Calontir family were palpable. It was exactly the same sensation as when lighting strikes nearby. I am deeply, deeply honored to be the first of our line of Queens to carry her.
Thank you, from both myself personally and from Calontir’s fierce Queens. With all my heart, thank you.
