Beorning Settlements [Guide]

[Arctostaph]

Here are some potential names for the Beorning settlements (using old English):

Burh1- Beorgweard (mountain-watch)
Burh3- Otorhold (otter island)
Village1- Wuduslæd (timber-glade)
Village2- Flódenhamm (river meadow)

I like the settlement names

Are you able to provide a link if you used a translator?

If those are ok with @Fornad
I would encourage people to use them.

[Fornad]

The names? Sure. You’ll need to change the warp names

Doesn’t get much more beorning to me. Just some inspiration for one of the burhs.

@Glov Do the boernings eat meat? I made a smokehouse but after reading more lore, i question if they eat animals.

[Bombur8]

Beorn himself doesn’t, but nothing is said about Beornings in general, we can only draw our own conclusions. I personnally think it’s a reasonable guessing.

[Chevy_the_cat]

So what is your guess? That they do or dont?

[Snowy30]

In Burh1 you can find a lot of meat.

[Glov]

Most of the Beornings were woodsmen who basically rallied around Beorn’s family iirc. So I would assume they ate meat. Beornings themselves might have also hunted and killed wargs and ate their meat so idk. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Also @Natanyagrad Might be better suited for a woodsmen settlement in Mirkwood.

[Chevy_the_cat]

Well, I like the smokehouse so I will go with carnivores.

[Bombur8]

That they don’t. However, as Glov said, all the “Beornings” are not of Beorn’s race, skinchangers.

Here is a really good document I found about layouts in feudal England, I’d highly recommend everyone to check it out, really useful.
