Sons of Muspel

[SF Austin]

We are an alliance of Norse and Asatru values and Folk. We hold the traditions and ways of the folk to the highest level. You will not be just a member, but a brother.

Sons of Muspel

1. Preamble

In Norse mythology, Muspel is home to the fire giants and their master, Surtr. Muspel itself a land of fire. To its north is Miflheim, a land of ice. The proximity of the two creates water and the Ginnungagap, a vast wasteland from which springs what today one would call the building blocks of all life.

Sparks from Muspel created all heavenly bodies, as well as the earth itself. In the distant past, the Norse would swear “by the fires of Muspel†as their highest oath, for by it they were swearing to the Creator of the universe Himself.

With this in mind, the Sons of Muspel welcome all into our ranks, for we are all the product of this Divine Spark.

2. Objectives

The Sons of Muspel are a Green Team alliance committed to the development and mutual defense of their members and the honorable defense of friends and allies outside the alliance.

3. Membership

Membership is open to any nation belonging to the Green Team that is neither at war with another nation, in debt to a previous alliance nor on the perma-ZI list of another alliance. Applicants to the Sons of Muspel must have a Nation Strength of 5,000 or more.

When applying for membership, applicants shall be required to change their Alliance Affiliation to “SoM Applicant†until their request is processed and approved by the Order of Surtr.

Non-Green nations applying for membership shall have a maximum of thirty (30) days in which to change to the Green Team.

Color exemptions shall be granted only by consent of the Order of Surtr.

Exemptions to the 5,000 NS requirement may be granted when individuals have had to re-start their nations or in those instances when nation leaders are already known to the leadership of the alliance.

Individuals wishing to resign from the alliance must contact the Order of Surtr, giving a reason for their departure. All debts to the alliance must be paid before a resignation shall be accepted. Those who leave the alliance without authorization or during wartime shall be considered spies or traitors and subject to perma-ZI.

Nations found to be in violation of this Charter or other Government directives shall be subject to disciplinary action as decided by the Order of Surtr.

4. The Order of Surtr

Government matters are entrusted to a high council, known as the Order of Surtr, comprised of the following members:

1.Foreign Affairs Counselor

2.Membership Counselor

3.War Counselor

4.Internal Affairs Counselor

5.Economic Affairs Counselor

The Foreign Affairs Counselor shall be the official spokesman of the alliance.

When issues arise requiring immediate attention, any member of the Order of Surtr may speak on behalf of the government. Otherwise, all decisions made by the government (including treaties) require the approval of a majority of the Order.

5. Foreign Policy

The fundamental tenets of the alliance's foreign policy shall be peaceful co-existence with our neighbors and unconditional defense of our allies.

In accordance with The Doctrine That is the Dilber/Bilrow Love Child, the Sons of Muspel shall support Senate candidates as designated by the Grand Global Alliance. Member nations in violation of this Doctrine shall be subject to its penalties.

6. War

War represents the ultimate sacrifice on the part of an alliance member. As veterans of numerous conflicts, the founders of the Sons of Muspel recognize war's destructive power.

Therefore, the Sons of Muspel announce that we shall declare war as an alliance only if one of the following conditions is met:

1.The Sons of Muspel are attacked by an outside alliance

2.An alliance with whom we have a relevant treaty requests our support

3.An outside alliance engages in espionage upon the Sons of Muspel

Notwithstanding the above, the Sons of Muspel pledge to resolve international disputes through diplomatic means whenever possible.

Attacks by individual rogue nations upon members of this alliance shall not require a formal declaration of war. Neither shall our attacks upon members convicted of desertion and/or espionage.

In-game spying upon the Sons of Muspel shall constitute an act of war by the spying nation and shall be dealt with accordingly.

With regard to nuclear weapons, the Sons of Muspel shall maintain a strict “No Offensive First-Use†policy. However, we reserve the right to use nuclear weapons when attacked by either conventional or nuclear weapons.

Finally, the Sons of Muspel renounce the right to engage in so-called “tech-raiding†upon smaller alliances, limiting themselves to raids upon unaligned nations alone. Sons of Muspel members shall be individually accountable for their actions in said matters.

7. Mutual Development

The alliance shall maintain programs to promote the growth of its smaller member nations, reserving the right to alter those programs as circumstances dictate.

8. Symbolism

In the Elder Futhark, Muspel begins with the Runic character “Mannaz†or “Manwazâ€.

On its own, the character itself represents “Man†or, more accurately, humanity as a whole. This is entirely appropriate given that the universe, and therefore all within it, are the product of Muspel's refining fire.

The Sons of Muspel therefore adopt this Rune as their official symbol:

9. Jurisdiction

All matters not covered explicitly by this Charter remain the prerogative of the Order of Surtr or its designated representatives.

10. Authority

We, the undersigned, do approve this Charter this 24th day of October, 2007.

Bump

[SF Austin]

Bump for the folk

[SF Austin]

Surt with the bane of branches comes

From the south, on his sword the sun of the Valgods,

Crags topple, the crone falls headlong,

Men tread Hel's road, the Heavens split open.

A further woe falls upon Hlin

As Odhinn comes forth to fight the wolf;

The killer of Beli battles with Surt:

Now shall fall Frigga's beloved.

[SF Austin]

Brother shall strike brother and both fall,

Sisters' sons defiled with incest;

Evil be on earth, an age of. whoredom,

Of sharp sword-play and shields clashing,

A wind-age, a wolf-age till the world ruins:

No man to another shall mercy show.

The waters are troubled, the waves surge up:

Announcing now the knell of Fate,

Heimdal winds his horn aloft,

On Hel's road all men tremble

[SF Austin]

Yggdrasil trembles, the towering ash

Groans in woe; the wolf is loose:

Odhinn speaks with the head of Mimir

Before he is swallowed by Surt's kin.

From the east drives Hrym, lifts up his shield

The squamous serpent squirms with rage

The great worm with the waves contending

The pale-beaked eagle pecks at the dead,

Shouting for joy: the ship Naglfar

[SF Austin]

Sails out from the east, at its helm Loki

With the children of darkness, the doom-bringers

Offspring of monsters, allies of the wolf,

All who Byleists's brother follow.

What of the gods? What of the elves?

Gianthome groans the gods are in council

The dwarves grieve before their door of stone,

Masters of walls. Well, would you know more?

[SF Austin]

Surt with the bane of branches comes

From the south, on his sword the sun of the Valgods,

Crags topple, the crone falls headlong,

Men tread Hel's road, the Heavens split open.

A further woe falls upon Hlin

As Odhinn comes forth to fight the wolf;

The killer of Beli battles with Surt:

Now shall fall Frigga's beloved.

[SF Austin]

Now valiant comes Valfather's son,

Vidar, to vie with Valdyr in battle,

Plunges his sword into he son of Hvedrung,

Avenging his father with a fell thrust.

Now the son of Hlodyn and Odhinn comes

To fight with Fenris; fiercest of warriors

He mauls in his rage all Middle-Earth;

Men in fear all flee their homesteads;

Nine paces back steps Bur's son

Retreats from the worm of taunts unafraid.

[ROAR Warlord]

Do you accept FNGs? I noticed all your nations are Super powers...

[ProdigyNL]

bump for friends

[SF Austin]

Do you accept FNGs? I noticed all your nations are Super powers...

We are not about the racial aryan movement as your current alliance name and nation name which indicate you are.

But you sir are not welcome to join, as you manifest and warp the ideas of norse to fit your narrow minded white power ideology.

All are welcome to the Sons of Muspel as along as they have a interest in rolepleying Norse and sharing in our traditions of Asatru.

[Tomis]

Bump for my old Norse friends; HAIL WODEN!!

[Isabella]

Just bumpin...

and Chillin' with my Cuz Red

[SF Austin]

Now death is the portion of doomed men,

Red with blood the buildings of gods,

The sun turns black in the summer after,

Winds whine. Well, would know more?

Earth sinks in the sea, the sun turns black,

Cast down from Heaven are the hot stars,

Fumes reek, into flames burst,

The sky itself is scorched with fire

[SF Austin]

I see Earth rising a second time

Out of the foam, fair and green;

Down from the fells fish to capture,

Wings the eagle; waters flow.

At lda's Field the Aesir meet:

They remember the worm of Middle-Earth,

Ponder again the great twilight

And the ancient runes of the high god

[SF Austin]

Boards shall be found of a beauty to wonder at,

Boards of gold in the grass long after,

The chess boards they owned in the olden days,

Unsown acres shall harvests bear,

Evil be abolished, Baldur return

And Hropt's hall with Hod rebuild,

Wise gods. Well, would you know more?

Haenir shall wield the wand of prophecy,

The sons two brothers set up their dwelling

In wide Windhome. Well, would you know more?

Fairer than sunlight, I see a hall

A hall thatched with gold in Gimle:

Kind Lords shall live there in delight for ever.

Now rides the Strong One to Rainbow Door,

Powerful from heaven, the All-Ruler:

From the depths below a drake comes flying

The dark dragon from Darkfell,

Bears on his pinions the bodies of men,

Soars overhead I sink now.
