You will earn treasure aboard the Skíðblaðnir!*This is a casual travelling RP. the Skíðblaðnir will be found travelling around the world in search of adventure and loot!

Rank: DietyEyvisl’s ship brought us quickly to Turgu, the city marking the south side of the Balagardssida coast. Finally home soon. The thought of eating an entire Lihamurekepiiras pie warmed my belly and I laughed at the icy wind pushing us directly east to our destination. I glanced to Eyvisl with a big smile, he laughed smiling back. I listened as he ran his crew, taking us to port in this ancient and storied city.

@eyvislRank: DietyAfter two days of choppy water and overcast skies -having just past the Aland Islands- the Balagardssida coast came into view. Soon we would be joining up with the forces of the sons of King Fornjotr.

@eyvislRank: DietyI smiled as I looked at all of them, the crew and Poh, Anarane, Arash. “Ana, you are the one who needs to know.” She lit up with the prospect. “We head North to assist Norr -who travels by land- and Gorr -who travels by sea- towards the throne of Fornjotr their Father. They both bring thousands of warriors, crafts-folk, livestock and supplies.” All eyes turned to me. “We are to assist the sons of Fornjotr in returning his daughter who was kidnapped last Midwinter.”

Rank: Participating MemberThe five of us sat on row-benches with the rest of the crew to eat the hearty goat, carrot, potato & onion stew with flatbread. The wind came -oddly- from the East, a cold early Spring wind. Eyvisl looked-up from his bowl and smiled at each of us. His träl held his horn of mead while he ate which made me laugh. He thus had the advantage of being able to eat with both hands, while we had to do without that luxury.

Being from very very far away, a remarkably different culture I found the use of goat odd in that lamb is so good in a stew like this. It occurred to me that the reason may be that a goat is a LOT easier to care for on an ocean voyage such as this.

@eyvislRank: DietyAs the Skíðblaðnir set out upon the windy wonderous sea I noticed -and heard- a familiar face that I have missed greatly. The one & only Anarane. She took about 6 strides to reach me from mid-deck.
“Dearest, I am a Demigoddess and I go where I damn well please. Eyvisl, I’m BORED! I’ve had a long winter and am ready to stretch my fighting muscles. Please tell me you’ve got a Pillage Plan? I’ll work for ale, bread, and cheese. Of course, I’ve brought a couple wheels with me as I make the best cheese I’ve ever tasted so why eat inferior stuff?Anyway, I’m here. Whether you like it or not.”
I grabbed her in a big hug, then pushed her to arms-length.
“Ana, I cannot think of any face in Middangeard that I would want in this crew more than yours, you scandalous & brilliant woman!”
She tried to stave off laughter and tried to look angry at my words.
“Eyvisl, you scoundrel, you virulent scourge of the seas!”
She let a grin emerge.
“Now where the fuck is the Ale Eyvisl? And I am hungry!”
I looked towards my astonished crew and nodded towards my galley-man.
He nodded and bolted, going to prepare some food.
“Let’s go drink and discuss the purpose of this voyage!”

@eyvislRank: DietyThe Skíðblaðnir was refitted, stocked and the crew pushed her back in the water. Northward we sailed, to meet King Forjotur and his sons. Norr, the eldest prince and Commander of the Kings armies, and also Gorr his youngest who most argued was not mature enough to command the fleet in accompanying his brother in a quest to find their kidnapped sister Goi. Following them was a massive entourage of blacksmiths, cattle, knitters, farmers, thousands of people.

@eyvislRank: DietyYoung Birger had his men finish preparing the Skíðblaðnir for a journey to help the sons of Thorri to find their sister Goi. Bodil and Birger knew that this was crucial, that we would leave when the Sun rose above the mountains.
