He journeyed unto Mimir's Well
That in Ultimate Knowledge He may dwell,
Sacrificed an eye for true sight
So great Yggdrasil might divulge it's light.

Brogan strode with pride and joy in every step toward the people who had come to his Wild Hunt in honor of Yule. It was a fine day, to be sure. A few days before many of those in attendance were also gathered at the trial of Christian Moynahan. The repercussions of that day were far from this place, however. Now was a time for joy and togetherness.
Now was the time for the Wild Hunt.
Brogan had readied the horses, and he had prepared several birds of prey should the attendees fancy some falconry. His land had many game animals, small to large. Afterwords, he would field dress and butcher the game for his guests, and they would choose the entrees for a grand feast. It would be most glorious, indeed.
The Yule log, and tree were waiting in the lodge as well. Sayeva and Adrianna had helped to decorate the tree, and it was rather tastefully done, befitting the caliber of the women themselves. The lodge was dubbed Wild Haven, and it would be a second home to Brogan and his new family for many years to come, he had decided. Here, being close to nature- it was perfect really. They had a forest to hunt, and fields to plant. A dream lost in time, it was.
He was not attired in the standard elite hunting garb, but in something more naturalistic. He was essentially wearing animal hides stitched into something akin to armor. A jerkin, breeches, boots and gloves. Around his broad shoulders was a black bear's pelt. He wore a helm with a buck's antlers fastened into it. In his hands he held a wooden spear, iron tipped. He looked like a perfect warrior-druid- the perfect officiator of this event. The final touch was an eye-patch placed upon his left eye. He had grown his beard out, as well.
To any who looked upon him, he was Odin the Allfather in the flesh.
"Hail, my friends and family!" Brogan announced, " Now begins the first of many Wild Hunts to come. Today, ye shall know me as Odin Yulefather- and my lovely bride Sayeva shall be as Frigg. Prepare thy-selves, and let us soon make haste to begin the hunt!"
Brogan was visibly excited at the prospect of starting this adventure. He hadn't really been the host of something like this, really. Say, Sophie, Adrianna and he had been rather private people up until now. This would be a good change of pace.
