| One of the traditions in Torvaldsland is to welcome a guest by | |
| presenting them a bowl and towel to wash their hands and face, | |
| the Jarl of the Hall himself brings the bowl and towel in show | |
| of welcome and respect. | |
| However,, In lue of the High Jarl not being home or any FM of | |
| the home a bond MUST MUST bring this to the visitor,,, its done | |
| once when they first come to the home,, it doesnt have to be | |
| done again to the same person | |
| Though the hall of Ivar Forkbeard was built only of turf and | |
| stone, and though he himself was an outlaw, he had met me at its | |
| door, after I had been bidden wait outside, in his finest | |
| garments of scarlet and gold, and carrying a bowl of water and a | |
| towel. �Welcome to the hall of Ivar Forkbeard,� he had said. I | |
| had washed my hands and face in the bowl, held by the master of | |
| the house himself, and dried myself on the towel. Then invited | |
| within I had been seated across the hall, he had given me a long | |
| swirling cloak of the fur of the sea sleen; a bronze-headed | |
| spear; a shield of painted wood, reinforced with bosses of iron; | |
| the shield was red in color, the bosses were enameled yellow; a | |
| helmet, conical, of iron, with hanging chain, and a steel | |
| nosepiece, that might be raised and lowered in its bands; and, | |
| too, a shirt and trousers of skin; and, too, a broad ax, formed | |
| in the fashion of Torvaldsland, large, curved, single-bladed; | |
| and four rings of gold, that might be worn on the arm. Marauders | |
| of Gor, page 96 | |
