Were the Vikings as brutal as history tends to depict them? Famous Vikings like Ivar the Boneless had multiple sides to them and their lives weren’t all killing and raiding.

Ragnar Lothbrok: A Real Viking Hero Whose Life Became Lost to Legend | Ancient Origins
Author’s Note: This is not a myth or religious/spiritual story. It has over time been mythologized. Really the only reason we decided to publish this particular article is because we here absolutely LOVE the History Channel’s show Vikings. Enjoy.

Alfred was an ambitious ruler who defeated the Vikings, promoted education, and sought to provide a better life for his subjects. Never expecting to inherit the crown his early life was focused on scholarly pursuits. During his reign the foundations were laid for a untied England resulting in him being named the first king of the Anglo-Saxons.

Continental Broad Seax: Designed by Markland Merchants to be a historically accurate broad seax for the serious Viking reenactor – it has a blade of tempered EN45 high carbon steel which is tempered to a 56-58 HRc hardness.
Danelaw Seax: This robust bladed seax is the so-called broken-back style seax. These seaxes have a sharp angled transition between the back section of the blade and the point. This shape makes the spine appear to be broken like a beast with a broken back which is where this evocative blade style gets its name.

Put Solen and Argo into ROAs universe where solen Specifically doesn’t belong what with him being from a gay reincarnation isekai genre originally, however comma I love Aeolia and I love solen and his cringe fail detective duke so like… worth it
God Argo in this setting is so funny cuz he’s one of the most powerful players in the game, not cuz he’s good at fighting and thus can hashtag save the world but cuz he’s just he’s good at math so much
Local man would get slaughtered if he left the safety of the town on his own but basically IS the economy itself yet also Looks like he could throw down and win
