![]() ![]() Be a true man! What this Book Contains Welcome to RuneQuest Vikings, a historical source book concerning the Northmen, their myths, magic and monsters. Die with your sword in hand and be burned in your longship. Pillage the priests of the weakling faith. Will you be an exile fighting his way to freedom in the new lands across the sea? A member of the infamous Varangian Guard in Byzantium? Engage in a war against the evil wizards of the Lapps? Or perhaps cross the Bifrost Bridge to stand beside Thor and protect Asgard against the giants? Worship the old gods. Volsunga Saga Gods and giants, blood and battle, honour and treachery, swords and silver, vengeance and weregeld these are the driving motivations for sagas and tales of mighty deeds. So a long while the battle lasted, and many a man was slain, and furious was the onset till at last it befell, even as seldom comes to hand, when a land army falls on, that, do what they might, naught was brought about but so many men fell of the sons of Hunding that the tale of them may not be told and now when as Sigurd was among the foremost, came the sons of Hunding against him, and Sigurd smote therewith at Lyngi the king, and clave him down, both helm and head, and mail- clad body, and thereafter he smote Hjorward his brother atwain, and then slew all the other sons of Hunding who were yet alive, and the more part of their folk withal. Printed in the USA.ģ Introduction Sigurd goes forth before the banners, and has the good sword Gram in his hand, and smites down both men and horses, and goes through the thickest of the throng with both arms red with blood to the shoulder and folk shrank aback before him wheresoever he went, nor would either helm or byrny hold before him, and no man deemed he had ever seen his like.
