Composure must be it, I guess. I don't know, I've always thought of that as "the state of being composed", i.e. looking in control of oneself at a particular point in time (you lose your composure and you regain your composure, but all within a single occurrence) ... whereas æðruleysi, to me, is the overall character trait of consistently keeping one's composure through all, uh, compost incidents. Maybe it's a non-distinction and I just need some sleep. Stoicism is close in spirit, sure, but indifference to pleasure or pain is not really the meaning I’m looking for.
