Kennings, Noms de Guerre, and Mythopoetry
"The men of the clan always came to the fore. Sometimes one of them would fall with an arrow in the neck or a spear in the chest; but another would always survive to keep the Name going. Meanwhile they put ever more land to the plow and turned the heath into meadows and pastures. The farmstead tallied 10 buildings and lay like a castle behind wall and moat among the oak hedges, and whose large farmhouse contained no lack of weaponry and all sorts of equipment"
The Book that started it all, a parting gift from my grandfather that sowed the Seed that grew into our Family's Manifesto.
Many people have asked, wondered, postulated, and sometimes assumed as to the meaning of our name, and the oft-maligned "Wehrwolf" epithet. Many a goober has accused us of being "evil natzees" because due to their only acquaintance with germanic languages (besides English) being "Badguys In Hollywood Movies," they assume the "wehr" prefix is a reference to "wehrmacht."
