Ithoriel, just how old are you?
Wonderful stuff. However you do realise to complete the saga requires about 30+  more verses, with death, mayhem and luuuve. ;)

Techno

Don't encourage him !  ;D ;D ;D ;D
Then again.... :-\...Why not ?  ;)

In 6th Year at school I won the school poetry prize. According to the Head of English I won it because,"No one in their right mind would write a Viking Saga which rhymes, scans, has the appropriate level of alliteration and a viable story at any age, let alone while still at school. But then a little madness is the mark of a true poet."

Not quite 30 verses but certainly longer than this one. Be grateful you weren't subject to the full blown item :-)

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Considered by many to be the finest of the Icelandic Sagas, Brennu-Njáls saga tells a tale of men goaded into hasty action by trivial "insults" which lead to vengeance and blood feuds aplenty. Njal himself is burned to death in his house by his enemies and avenged in turn by his son.

Lots of scenarios for Dark Age skirmishes in the sagas if you're ever looking for ideas.
