Olaf, while he does not have many raids under his young beard, is skilled with a sword. And though he is still young and has not yet learned all my teachings, he has the keen eye of the eagle, and the wisdom of the raven. He can cast runes nearly as well as I, and though his ties to the god's will are not as close as my own, his legs and arms are much younger and stronger than mine. He has much of me from when I was young. Perhaps he can attend to Beowulf as a skald? I would feel better would that the offspring of my wisdom accompanied this expedition of aid. And I know that he is eager to bring honor to his name and wishes to go with Beowulf."Killed two birds there <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> How's that set-up Meardwyn? I think it works. I had considered going with a skald after your first post and this idea just popped in. The lineage and rationalization work as well I believe.</blockquote>
