Dan'nathur



Dan'nathur are a group in the Wolves Faction of The Gathering world of Erdreja.
The name means 'The Magpies', in some unknown archaic language, as a compromise between Dave Miller and Simon Tomlin! They grew from some people who already knew each other, but went to SummerFest'91 separately.

The number of Gathering attendees varied a lot, from year to year;
1092 - 8
1093 - 9
1094 - 3
1095 - 18
1096 - 24 including 11 Finns
1097 - 17 less two plus two ?
1098 - 22
1099 - 25 perhaps
1100 - 5 perhaps

So far, 74 people have played 81 members of Dan'nathur.


In-Character Description

In general, the group Dan'nathur is made up of those people who go around with the touring sales team of the Slademan Stoneworks Company of Sla'hake.

Over the years, some of the entourage have "done well for themselves" (e.g. Wolfgar, Gunnar, Heinrich and Tiamae (who got to embody the goddess Freya)

They have stayed part of the group as it is a convenient party with who to regularly tour the Faction Lands and abroad.

In so far as the group leader (the Sales Director of the Stone Co.) is also the First Voice of The Inheritors Of Belegûr, quite a few of the group are Belegûrians, but this is not obligatory.

Several members are part of the Dan'nathur Journalistic Co-operative and/or the Ritual Group
