The Age of Vikings is amongst us.

The battle for wealth, for honour and for glory grows now, faster than ever, in earnest. Amongst whispers of fresh, fertile land for pasture, gold and silver beyond dreams, and a new God, the Vikings debate on western conquest. Earl Ragnarr Loðbrók and his sons begin to build boats, in hopes of sailing to their destiny.

Meanwhile, in the divided kingdoms of England, Alfred the Great reigns over Wessex. His daughter, the lady Æthelflæd sits as Lady of Mercia, married to the tyrannous, half-wit Athelred. Alfred yearns to unite the four kingdoms, at long last. No longer would the land be divided: Wessex, East Anglia, Mercia and Northumbria. Instead, England would rise triumphant, as one.

Two dreams of conquest, but only one side can be victorious. Who shall it be? What God will prove unsubdued?

Welcome to the Viking Age. This is a period of strife, bloodshed, war, and discovery. You may write as a Viking, a Saxon, or a hybrid. However, you are not only limited to these three alone. This roleplay will be alternative history, and will incorporate historical figures as seen in both “The Last Kingdom” and in “Vikings”. Come and write your own story, with your favourite characters, alongside literate, like-minded people!

***

WHAT WILL THIS OFFER YOU?

- A chance to write your favourite canons from ‘The Last Kingdom’ and ‘Vikings’.

May the better warriors triumph!

Backstory has been established. We’re as till looking for Ubbe Ragnarsson, and key characters, such as: King Ælla, King Athelred, King in Ireland, King of Wales.

‘Ragnar Lodbrok has been killed by the usurper King Ælla, who murdered the former king, his brother, Osbryht and his sons. This was done after the Saxons had surrendered. The Danes were slaughtered in a way that gave Ælla and his men no honour.


Osbryht’s eldest daughter, 18, from his first wife has fled, she rallies against King Ælla in protection of the settled Danes. Consequently, there is nothing but unsettlement within Northumbria.


Alternatively, there is currently peace within Wessex. Their King, Alfred, dreams for a unification of England. He has just married his only daughter to Athelred, Lord of Mercia, to unify these kingdoms. Seeing discourse in Northumbria, Alfred proposes an alliance to Ælla. They will eradicate the Danes from England and unify. This would bring together Mercia, Northumbria, and Wessex. Little to their knowledge, the murder of Ragnar has rallied his sons, whom wish to raise an army to march against those who wronged him.’

We are small and literate community, that grows day by day. Join for friendly OOC, IC banter, and talks of Norse history.
