I have had the great honor and pleasure to work on multiple Reigns' Scribal teams and create several series of charter blank designs to be used throughout the reigns. This is one such that was Created for the First Reign of King Kjartan and Queen Sha'ya, in the Norse Theme/time period.
I decided to base these items on Metal jewelry and findings found in digs from Norway between 5th and 10th centuries.
Other References can be found from Digs in Birka and Displays at the British Museum of Natural History:
Based on these items, I scretched out the award design and added words (Using a key in Younger Futhark)
I was very pleased with the way they turned out in the end. This was a type of art I'd never attempted, and I think they made really great charters to paint with a beautiful outcome. And I very much enjoyed learning a new language in which to try my hand, the rules and conventions of Futhark are not complicated, and I found it to be a quick learning curve.
