Welcome! Pardon the mess! I'm sure you've seen plenty of web pages that say they're "under construction:" well, this one takes the cake. But while I start organizing things, feel free to wander around!
This is the homepage of Sir Egil Njalsson and his son, Bjarni Egilsson, both of the Kingdom of Dragonspine, and both mundanely known as Kalle V. Jorgensen. Over the years I've done quite a lot of writing; and I'm starting to put that up before I start uploading pictures and such. The files need a lot of cleaning up - web format is much different from standard print format - but the text is readable in the meantime. Several of them will be supplemented by pictures, later on. And you'll notice that the dates on many of them coincide with our Crown Quals - March and September of each year. Gee, go figure.
