A Wolf Lord for sure...

So we draw near to that time of year when certain someone travels the land bringing mirth and good cheers.

 

"A man of large stature, from feasting and mead. He travels through time at great haste with all speed.

A beard of great size and hair winter white. The good and the bad he does visit on Christmas night.

Control over beast for they pull his sleigh. Swift he must finish, before Christmas day.

Joy to the good ones from his sleigh he does bring. The bad ones beware his bolter will sing.

From the sky they will hear his 'ho ho ho' shout, his duty now over he returns to the Rout.

 

Now this rhyme is over, though I wish it were quicker, my theory to you, Santa Claus is Vlka Fenkrya."

 

Silly I know but my genuine thought is that in the Imperium of Man, Santa Clause would be a Wolf Lord of Fenris....

Santa a Space Wolf? Ha. Not a chance. He's a roly-poly plump elf.

 

Now, the Russian Ded Moroz? that's a Wolf Lord. Or more likely a Rune Priest, since his other aspect is the personification of Russian winter, complete with snow/frost/wind powers, and a staff.

Actually, the peope of the Rus does not mean Russians. If I read correctly, the people of the Rus were also vikings descended from tribes in Sweden, who later moved across the Baltic Sea to where Yugoslavia currently is. Sometimes also confused as a Slavic nation, or those countries that are around the Baltic Sea. None of which are Russians and maintain their own unique cultural identity.

 

Sorry to nitpick off topic here, but I sense someone is confusing proud history of the Norsemen with the far more different and distant Russians.

 

Following link might prove useful for clarification.

To kasper hawser: rusians are named so cause the old nordic word russ witch means row. They row theyr boats from norway to a cold land in the east, founding a new norwayn outpost. ( that was theyr mission) so first russians were actualy vikings.
Or take a look at a russian energy drink "russian power" that shows a rusian. I know its not a reason, but i think russians actualy know theyr history and what was before cossacs danced with sabres and potato-vudka. (in 9th century they were first time there and came as vikings)

There are many takes on what happened between the Varangians/Varyags and the Slavs and the neighboring tribes.


My favorite ambiguous version which includes a bit of every take is this: the Slavs and the neighboring tribes were constantly harried by the Varangians/Varyags, who were a Viking faction and turned up regularly for a good bit of pillaging and beating. The Slavs and their neighbors eventually united and put up a healthy enough resistance to repel the Varyags, but couldn't form their own government. So they turned to their erstwhile enemies and invited them to govern (perhaps knowing that sooner or later the Varyags would regroup and by then the alliance might disintegrate, so it's back to beating and pillaging).

The Varyags then migrated wholesale from their original homeland, and that's when (allegedly) the name "Rus" as in "people who row" emerged. When Rurik conquered Kiev Khaganate, the polity became known as Kiev Rus' (and persisted for a very long time).


Or maybe Rus has nothing to do with rowing, as there's a handful of other possible origins of the name which you can look up. And it was all very long ago, but the most solid facts that we have is that Rus at its pre-Christian prime was a result of Varyags intermingling with Slavs, with the most prominent governing line being the Rurikovichi (sons of Rurik). Through the ages, the name "Rurik" and "Varyag" came to be regarded as heroic symbols (given to battleships).

Also, vodka is not made from potatoes. That's what we call samogon (hooch/moonshine). If it ain't made from grain, it ain't vodka.

Haha... Lol ...historical santa clause (this churchguy with staff n stuff) was more a turkish fella. But if the reddressed santa is one nobody knows where he came from there are a vew points we know about him: 1 he speaks any language in the world (seems he studied a lot or came around before he started living on the northpole) (may he used to be a sailor) (if he was a sailor the old nordword for it would be rus ..lol..) 2 he lives on the northpole 3 he got something makes him faster then lightning.. (what drugs ever his raindeers take: i want that stuff to) 4 he is :cussing old and gives a :cuss about weightwatchers. 5 he loves children ( may hes belgian...?)

LOL, I believe the OP was about Santa Claus being Vlka Fenryka that has now devolved into a discussion into origins of Russian ethnicity.

 

Sadly I'm Malaysian so much of the European culture references mentioned by Leif and Blacksad escapes me. Belgians liking children? I sincerely pray you REALLY are talking about genuine love for children, not pedophilic tendencies. Not sure what kraut is, always thought it was some kind of sauce eaten with sausages.

 

Anyone checked the Dark Angels version of a Santa poem? Its pretty good, under the header "Twas the night before Christmas". Apparently Santa can bypass the Rock's security as well. "snicker snicker snicker at Inner Circle getting their panties in a twist trying to find Santa in the Rock".

Lol to kasper : kraut is a facist word against germans. Americans used it cause the Nazis often eat sauerkraut in cans. ( a lot of vitamins, cheap,..etc) so they use even today the german word for this herb. Sauer= sour Kraut= herb. ... But since i am a kraut its okay to me using this facist word against myself.
