MEET THE SKALD’S FAMILY
ASLAUG
Here in the Ravens’ Nest, Ashley the writer becomes Aslaug the skald. Aslaug weaves sagas about spirited shieldmaidens, brave mages, and Norse gods. She is often found here in her study, where she spends time with her husband and son, writes, and enjoys the company of her hearthmates in the longhouse.
RASKOGR
Meet Raskogr, a valiant protector of our longhouse. With a heart forged in foreign lands, he brings his expertise as a seasoned warrior and craftsman to our Viking clan. When he’s not helping with odd jobs constructing and repairing the longhouse, he’s usually relaxing with his wife Aslaug or playing with his son Leif.
LEIF
Introducing Leif, the pint-sized explorer of our Ravens’ Nest! With boundless energy and an insatiable curiosity, this adventurous toddler—son to Aslaug and Raskogr—brings a sense of wonder and excitement to every corner of our longhouse.
