Sorry, but it’s spelled “harbinger” and originally meant someone who goes ahead to arrange lodgings.

Knowing full well it’s a mistake, I prefer to interpret it as meaning “here-bringer”, not as one who simply goes ahead as a sign, but one who actively summons. Alternatively, the “bring” could derive from “brísingr”, as in “I’m going to burn this fucking place to the ground.”
