Affiliations
Magnus is a founding member of The Murder, which came into being during Pennsic 50 (August 2023). At the sound of the caw, the Murder comes running to render aid, create merriment, and abscond with shiny objects.
Magnus became the student of Dame Roana Aldinoch at Fall Coronation A.S. 51 on September 28, 2024. As such, he is also a member of Hus gyldenbrocc.
In Case of Court/Scroll
Magnus prefers scrolls in Modern English or appropriately translated Old Norse. No preference between Younger and Elder Futhark runes, so long as there is consistency.
He enjoys "typical" scroll layouts but especially adores original takes and uncommon executions such as non-rectangular scrolls, non-linear text layout (i.e., text borders on rune/standing stones), atypical materials (wood, leather, metal, etc.), and non-"scroll" scrolls (i.e., a persona-appropriate handmade item bearing the badge of a given award)!
Magnus is also similarly eager to be commissioned for work on such scrolls, from leather-based scrolls to awards of non-scroll format. Please send all inquiries to [email protected].
