The Oak Breaks: Wrestling the giantess Eld, old age, even mighty Thor had to bend the knee – or so the Elder Edda claims it is not clear whether the pre-Christian Norse told this tale.

These are just some things that happened during the session, given names and described in, I hope, moderately amusing language. Denmark is at war with an adventurer, a revolt, and another of my vassals who is doing a prepared invasion.Īs noted, I’m not writing an AAR. Sweden is at war with me, and also four of my vassals have various one-province CBs that they are pursuing. Southern Scandinavia is a cauldron of war. It could be that there won’t be very many Danish armies to oppose his righteous claim. I wish him much luck in this endeavour, and suspect he’ll find it because I was, as it happens, campaigning in that area anyway.

Thus hung Odin, once, for nine days and nights, for the knowledge of seid, rune-magic and indeed it is clear that one may gain wisdom by doing so, for no hanged priest has ever been heard to babble of the White Christ again. The Silent Oaks: The kings of Norway have gathered Uppsala and Mære under their rule they have torn down the churches that were built there, raised once more the holy howes, and hanged the priests from young oaks recently planted, with shimmering flaxen ropes around their necks and spear-wounds in their sides.

The moral authority of Norse paganism has not been over 30% in a generation. Men say that Odin does not give victory as in times past men say that the White Christ came not to bring peace, but the sword, and that he wields it right well. Worse, when brave men have sent out the war-arrow to gather sea-kings to their cause, to take the crowns of weaklings, seize broad acres, and become land-kings by right of conquest – they have, so many of them, failed the corpses of would-be kings litter the beaches from Estonia to England. Twilight of the Old Gods: Both Denmark and Sweden have had kings who follow the White Christ only Norway has remained firmly a bastion of the worship of Odin.After these events no king of Norway has set foot on Öland, nor will they while men remember. For this reason the war is called the War of the Four Kings and Two Kingdoms. And though Valdemar fell in that charge, Gudfrid’s men were beaten and the king was captured, and he gave submission to King Bagge of Norway, the younger brother of Valdemar, the third to hold that title in a day. Also his eldest son Valdemar who succeeded him, and was King of Norway for just long enough to lead a charge for the Red Lion banner, under which stood Gudfrid, the Smålander king. There was a battle fought, in Öland in this battle king Anund took his bane-wound.
