"A warrior drinks from the horn of a beast, not fragile tavern glass, when bivouacked beneath the stars." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge
Shaped from genuine ox horn, this vessel carries the storied weight of Norse tradition into your encampment. The surface is meticulously carved with the Vegvisir, an ancient compass emblem meant to offer guidance through tempests, accompanied by fine geometric line work. Because it is wrought from organic horn, each piece boasts individual variations in grain, tone, and character, occasionally displaying minor fissures that mark true natural horn.
Designed for the feast hall or the march, this horn holds between 400 and 500 ml of your chosen draught. It is suited for mead, ale, and wine up to twenty percent alcohol content. Such natural material demands martial discipline in maintenance: never subject it to hot rations or a modern dish-scourer, for heat will warp and crack the organic grain. Before your initial toast, give it a thorough rinse under cold running water. To preserve the lustre and seal the grain against drying, coat the horn with beeswax after every engagement.
Transport is made simple by the included cotton canvas stowage bag, shielding the polished surface from grit and gear friction within your haversack. Whether deployed at living history demonstrations, shield-wall assemblies, or hearthside gatherings, it stands as a sturdy, functional relic of Norse material culture.
