Varg Veum - Skriften På Veggen
In the philologist and fantasy author J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth fiction, a warg is a particularly large and evil kind of wolf that could be ridden by orcs. He derived the name and characteristics of his wargs by combining meanings and myths from Old Norse and Old English. In Norse mythology, a ''vargr'' (anglicised as warg) is a wolf, especially the wolf Fenrir that destroyed the god Odin in the battle of Ragnarök, and the wolves Sköll and Hati who perpetually chase the Sun and Moon. In Old English, a ''wearh'' is an outcast who may be strangled to death. Through Tolkien's influence, wargs have featured in fantasy books by authors including George R. R. Martin, and in media such as video games and role-playing games. Etymology and origins The Tolkien scholar Tom Shippey states that Tolkien's spelling "warg" is a cross of Old Norse '' vargr'' and Old English '' wearh''. He notes that the words embody a shift in meaning from "wolf" to "outlaw": ''vargr'' carries ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
