My Ulfric and Dronning, What period have you based yourselves out of? I hear you are later period? 12th century Rus?

Actually we are early in the Kievan Period, roughly late 9th to early 10th. I think the Ulfric said 890, I'll let him answer that. To give some perspective, this is only 9 years after the establishment of Kiev as capital by Oleg. The Kievan Period however, lasts from 9th - 13th, so the group's period is 8th - 12th (with some case by case finagling for early 13th c. personas, like Mongols), to cover the majority of the Viking Period and most of the Kievan Period.

So what type of curved swords does the ulfric use? are they Kilij, Talwars, Shamshirs, Scimitars? Im finding a few different types that are near the 9th century and area.

yes the top one is about correct. I am a huge fan of the kilij for its cutting power. But any curved blade works.
