### Helsingborg, 793 A.D

In the largest coastal village in Helsingborg, in the community of Råå, thrives the trade of farming, fishing and amongst the finest carpenters and boat makers. Lead by a harsh yet keen Chieftain, he oft keeps the spoils of the raid, dividing meagre shares amongst those who fought for the claim. Life is harsh, but survived. But amongst those who often lift axe and sword, their dreams of travel spread much further than their usual voyage. Stories of lands to the west, of a land called England and of their great wealth and lands. One amongst their crew, a man with a brilliant mind and hands made for craft has built a new ship, one that could tread the great distance to the unknown lands.

With orders to return to the east, will our band of raiders be able to convince their Earl of the potential? Or will their voyage be kept a secret and head out to the unknown, without anyone the wiser?

Our story begins here.



### Rules, Information and other boring stuff.

So this is a story of a group of Vikings making the first journey to England, and of their successful raid of Northumbria. There will be no cast iron story, instead the story will change depending on the actions of our characters. Of course, I shall throw in a few things just to keep us going. But I am also very open to ideas that any of you may have. 

1 - Mature players and mature characters. There will be violence, swearing, sacrifices, gore etc. Anything goes really, so long as it is kept within the rules of the guild.

2 - I don't expect a post everyday, we all have lives and priorities. So long as we all communicate through the OOC and keep everyone informed.

3 - The available slots shall be posted below.

4 - I won't ask for a full character sheet, as they can be too binding. However, as our characters will know each other (unless new to raiding) so there will be a simple sheet for you to just sum up your character and give people a rough idea of who they are and what they look like.

5 - I do have maps, of both Scandinavia and Helsingborg and its districts. They will be posted up.

6 - Any questions, do ask. Any suggestions, do say! This is a group roleplay, not just mine.

7 - I personally do not mind someone controlling my character for the purpose of their post. Hard to write one sided conversations and interactions. However, please check with the player as some people do not like others controlling their characters.
