Whenever we go to the city range he's almost always off in the woods to the side of the range shooting at woodland targets he put there himself. He's a fun guy to talk to, but once you ge...

Great looking sword and scabbard Ursus! I really like how you added the by-knife to it, and I think it looks perfect the way it is! Also that's a great trick using the alcohol rags witht he leather dye, going to have to borrow that one!

Hi everyone, Here is a short little back story/intro for Ruinar. I wrote this a while ago so forgive me if it is a little rough, the intention was just to get information down on "paper". I have since began writing this as a work of fiction, which I will probably post later on in Chapters ...
