The Voyages of Erik the Red and Leif Erikson in the 9th-10th centuries.

During the 9th century, the Vikings colonized Shetlands, the Faroes and Iceland. In the 10th century Erik the Red founded two Viking settlements in southern Greenland. His son Leif Eriksson is said to have landed on the island of Newfoundland around the year 1000.

Erik the Red, the banished warrior turned Viking pioneer, went from exile to exploration, and laid the foundation for Norse expansion into North America.

The untold story of Erik the Red is a saga of a Viking with a turbulent past turned fearless explorer and a leader who defied exile, and discovered Greenland, shaping the course of European expansion.

From Iceland to Greenland, his footsteps tell of resilience, redemption, and adventure.

just got the phoenix force sage episodes and i forgot all about how aggravating the whole "erik the red" thing is

for those unfamilair, there have been several erik the reds and not one of them have been connected in any capacity nor have they been mantles that have been passed down. just different characters who have gone by the title and its so frustrating to me!

i dont even know why it irks me so much but it does!

for gods sake, cyclops first used the title when he went undercover as a villian and it was long before he encountered the alien known as erik the red.

also as far as i recall, i think magneto and possibly hawkeye????

none of the namesakes have ever crossed paths while having the name except cyclops and the alien. its insane!

Trigger Warnings: DD:DNE, Slavery, Blood, Implied Rape.

Explicit ⫽ [no ship] ⫽ Graphic Depictions of Violence + Rape/Non-Con ⫽ one-shot

The snow must have turned red, he remembered, as it always did when he let himself go. In hindsight, perhaps that had not been the best of times for it… especially considering where that path had led him..

Thank you @vikingsevents for hosting this event! Please pay attention to the warnings here and on ao3 if you wish to read this one, it is brutal rather than fluffy.

Travel Log Entry #2: In Search of Thorvald's Legacy

My journey along the Viking trail led me to the quiet shores of Eidfjord, Norway, where I first heard the name Erik the Red, a legendary Viking figure. However, it was not Erik alone who captivated my curiosity. In a humble tavern in a coastal hamlet, I stumbled upon the story of his father, Thorvald, a man exiled from his homeland, Norway, for a grievous act of manslaughter. The storyteller, a weathered fisherman, regaled the tavern with the tale of Thorvald's exile. It was a narrative of redemption, a second chance in an unfamiliar land.

Thorvald’s and Erik’s path had taken them to western Iceland, a land of natural beauty with glaciers and volcanic landscapes. After a few weeks of traveling, i finally arrived and decided to explore the land to uncover more about their life there. It was a rugged terrain marked by the footprints of those who had come seeking new beginnings. One day, in a small coastal village, I heard whispers of a red-bearded man who had made this island his home - Erik the Red.

Curious of where he might be, I visited town after town in hope to stumble upon him. Luckily, the people I met were friendly and pointed me in some directions. After a long journey around the island, I finally met Erik on a cliff overlooking the ocean. He shared stories of his father Thorvald's resilience and their challenges in Iceland's harsh environment.

My journey had taken an unexpected turn, leading me not only to Viking legends but also to the descendants who had shaped their destinies. Erik revealed his ambitious plans for an expedition to strange territories and asked if I would join him and his crew. I immediately accepted the invitation, knowing that this will be an adventure of a lifetime. I look forward to further exploration, excited to uncover more about Erik's adventures in these lands of wonders.

Green, a color often associated with nature, growth, and renewal, has a rich and fascinating history that dates back to the earliest days of human civilization. The word “green” is believed to have originated from the Old English word “grēne,” which is derived from the Proto-Germanic word “gronja.” The color green has been an important part of many cultures and has been used for everything from…
