Blog Entries: 5     |  Bran Redmow, Bloody-Handed Warrior Just a teaser.. I'm re-writing the old epic Space Wolf poem, this time on the 12th Great Company Wolf Lord, Bran Redmow. http://www.ehow.com/how_3334_write-epic-poem.html . For those of you interested, this is the basics of writing an epic poem in generic form. It goes a lot deeper than that when you really research it, but that gives you the cookie cutter format of what is to vaguely come.

Blog Entries: 5 | Listen now, to the Wolf! Hear his howl, and follow! The beast within become the beast without Hear now, the names of your champions And praise them, Noble sons of Russ! (what follows here is to be expanded, but is like an honor roll of current famous Space Wolves. Each will eventually be expanded to be the same length as Brans as I learn more on them, and will cover all 12 Wolf Lords and more!) Logan Grimnar, The Old Wolf - indomitable leader of the years Long of tooth and grey of beard Cunning beyond all wit and measure Fierce foe of red-handed rage Merciful lord of reason The hand of Russ upon him Destiny betwixt calloused paws (that's all I got! lol.. small spurt of inspiration!) Bjorn the Fell Handed - Immortal Champion of Russ forever! Ragnar Blackmane - The fire in the Fangs heart! Ulrik the Slayer- Warden and guard to the young and old! Njal Stormcaller - Master of the runes and Caller of Fenris' fury! Bran Redmow, bloody-handed warrior, He piles the skulls of his enemies, He builds a mound of the fallen. His foes weep rivers of blood. In fire and rain of death he strides Mighty axe cleaving foe in twain With the howl of the wulfen in his soul His warriors rend the foe to bone and marrow Fortress tall and foes mighty Quake and fail at the sight Of warriors arrayed in such plate With weapons like unto the Wolfs own! Bolt shell and frost tooth, claw and fang All fall before the might of the Twelfth Lord All fall to his fury, and are fed to the beast within All fall to the Sons of Russ (this next will be at the end of the roll of the living heroes, since the wolves believe Russ alive, and be obviously longer and more intricate as I expand my knowledge of Russ fluff wise) Russ, Mightiest of all the Emperors Sons. Father of the Legion, Master of the Fang Disciple of the Emperor Benevolent Master of the beast within Father of the beast without, Giver of the cursed mark (what follows and would be here will require research, but will be taken form my own fluff and official fluff, stating the names of fallen Space Wolves of fame and how they fell, much like with the current heroes). Mourn now, for the fallen! Sing now, their praises Sons of Fenris! Drain the drinking horn for the lost Thirteenth And stand in honor of the victorious dead! Learn then, the names of your Lords and Masters! Learn then, their ways and the way of Father Russ! Onwards, Men of Fenris! Onwards, Children of Russ! Onwards to the heart of battle, and glory of victory! ONWARDS SPACE WOLVES! *the speaker would then stamp foot down hard (in power armor this would have an efect) and slam the haft of his weapon (i'm thinking spear/staff) to the floor or some such surface then raise the weapon in the air to salute all present* So.. There's the rough format/inspiration.. Suddenly struck randomly late at night, which means no sleep for me. Hope you guys enjoy the preview, and any information you have would be welcome!
