Bit of a special today:

bróðormægen [ ᛒᚱᚩᚦᚩᚱᛗᚫᚷᛖᚾ ] : bothers in magic

bróðor: brother
mægen: strength ; power / magical power

Pronunciation: files-thefolklore-cafe.ams3.di

This is a title used the users of the deepest of magics, those that are brothers by magics deeper than blood. Brothers in power, strength and magic.

Those of us who know , know we are all bróðormægen.
