time to put on your big boy Necropants ... or not.
Icelandic lore has it that if you get permission to take a man's skin from the waist down, rob a poor widow of a coin, then place the coin in the pants' sack with a magical stave on paper, it will generate an endless supply of money! This item, the Nábrók, roughly translates to "Necropants".

Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since then he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay. If you have employment/opportunities in investigative mythology, field research, or product development to offer, do contact him.
