His Second event was the Great North Eastern War where he fought in many battles and met many new people as well as tried mead for the first time. After learning how easy it was to get started, Magnus tried his hand at brewing. By the end of his first year, Magnus had become a fighter, weapon and armor maker, and amateur brewer.

After a few years as a fighter, Magnus racked up a bit of injuries including heat exhaustion on the battle field. Near the end of 2013 Magnus discovered archery and found a new outlet to focus on. Though he still fights occasionally, Magnus has been focusing on archery since 2014. In that time, Magnus has made dozens of archery targets and loaner arrows. He designed and constructed the set of 3 targets used for Royal Rounds shoots at practices and events. As a member of Hus Hallvardr, Magnus has been compelled towards service. Regardless of whether he is on an event’s staff or not, he will always help with set-up tear-down and cleaning whenever needed. Magnus and his wife, Lady Sigrid Arnsdottir, have also been active merchants running a shop called Sigrid & Magnus’ Leather Emporium. Their focus is on leather and fabric goods including belts, pouches, archery equipment, bags, and tents. Magnus is most known today as an archer and a vendor.
