Bure
Kindred Roll

Test your blood against the house of Gamle Olof Hersesson of Bure, born shortly before the year MCCCC.

ay down your family tree, and the scribes shall follow every generation back through parishes and centuries, until they meet one of the known fathers of the house. Whoever bears the sword side unbroken, from father to son, is counted sword-kin and wears the gold. Whoever's path runs through the spindle side is counted spindle-kin and wears the silver. How honour is weighed.
