Some people want to live their miserable lives escaping the inevitable. They want to pretend they can stop what all men face. Whether conflict or old age strikes, you will leave this earth.
The Viking had no such illusions. They understood the violence of the world, so they struck first. At shores all across Europe, the Norse Horde landed on beaches and laid waste to all those who tried to stop them. But they weren’t just blood-thirsty savages. These people brought a level of trade Europe had never seen. They brought a system of laws that had sustained their successful society. They brought the fear of God.
And to Odin they paid homage—their god of battle, victory, wisdom, poetry, prophecy, war, and death.
Fear not death, for the hour of your doom is set and none may escape it.
