A Viking's Guide to Survival

Thanks for the invite. I'm in England, just got off the longship. Just kidding. The English never invited me, but I came anyway. My companions say this is the start of a glorious path... I just think the world has gone a bit nuts. Since when did raiding give you a sense of honor? Can't be helped. That's just how things are in the Nordic lands. If you want to survive, you have to go with the flow. Unless... you leave the North. England, France, Italy, Iberia, the Eastern Roman Empire... I'm coming for you! Wait, why are you closing the city gates? Sure, I sail longships, raid monasteries, and capture slaves... but I'm really not a Viking pirate!
