Hey everybody and thank you for your warm welcome.
@Susi.. you are Freydis, are you ?
Now I am feeling at home here.
@Gonzalvus: CN or Cybernations was a game that I was playing, I have recently quit the game after being attacked by my own group
@Ariets: It means "Lawspeaker in ancient Icelandic. I have quickly copied the explanation of the name that I wrote on The Allthing.
Quote:
A lögsögumaður was the chairman of the Icelandic Alþingi (Allthing- basicly Parliament) during the years of the medieval Commonwealth of Iceland, his roles were to recite the Law (it was never written down, hence the English translation "Lawspeaker"), and to arbritrate in conflicts.
He had no formal powers. (so he was not an early form of a Prime Minister) As I am thinking of establishing a Paganist party in my homecountry, I found the title appealing.
