The year was 922. Exploration was big for the Nords. Expansion was a must for many countries, but not all could afford to expand so easily. Britain, the Gret-Empire-To-Be was in the midst of its own wars. Civil wars, mainly. It was weak, and a new ruler was soon to be crowned, if the country could be taken. Many Norse rulers wished to take this land for their own, but many did not have the power to do so by themselves. They required armies. They required Vikings such as yourselves. You are warriors of your kind. Even amongst te powerful Vikings, you are respected and feared for your prowess in battle. This is why you have been hired for a war. The ruler that wishes you to follow him will not allow himself to be named, but he wishes that you will do as he asks, in return for plenty of gold each and whatever you wish to pillage during your battles. Now, here you stand, weapons in hand and ready to board your ship, the Jorvik Lander, and are about to set off on the greatest journey of your lives, as it may be the last.
