History

Sceald Raed began in the Third Age, 3018, as an alliance between Svala, a Captain of Dale, and Sviorr, a mighty Dwarf warrior, the group being then known as The Companions of Erebor. It's founding members began their journey westward as an errand from their lords. The Wainriders and Easterlings were afoot again and as things began to look grim in the East both Svala and Sviorr were to go west, over the Misty Mountains, to see what news was to be heard and lend what aid that they may, in hope that such aid may be repaid to their lands. Svala and Sviorr formed their companionship as they set out together on their errand. After a brief stay in Imladris the companions ventured further west, trekking into and beyond the Lone-Lands, Bree-Land, and the Shire. Their journey would bring them to the Blue Mountains, Ered Luin. Here they would rest in Thorin's Hall, this great Dwarf dwelling becoming their temporary home. From Ered Luin the companions set out, at times together and at times heading their own way, giving what help they can and taking it in turn. During this time many friends and new companions were made - thus the Companions of Erebor were no longer simply of Erebor, but rather Companions of all Middle Earth.The Kinship was named Sceald Raed, meaning Shield Counsel in the Northern tongue, for it was a Kinship, a Counsel, made to defend the people of Middle Earth from the oncoming Darkness that lurks now East, South, and North...

The Meaning of Sceald Raed

Sceald Raed means Shield Counsel in Old English. This was the language that Tolkien had the Rohirrim speak while their northern kin in Dale spoke Old Norse. The name reflects the Northmen origins of the kin and it's purpose - to defend all Free People with Shield and Sword.
