As a sorceress, Searsha can feel emotions, pick up surface thoughts and anticipate statements. Spells exist to probe deeper but during close physical contact with a sorceress she can probe deeper without a specific spell because during such contact souls and minds are freely shared. They'd make great spies if it wasn't so easy to detect a sorceress. All you need is another sorceress. There are also people who are sensitive to the presence of sorceresses so it's not easy to hide being one to someone with the proper defenses. Walking on the street it's not that hard, but infiltrating the stronghold of an enemy would be nigh impossible.
— “Going a Viking” many historians believe is what Norsemen called sailing, raiding, trading and plunder. A rough translation would be “adventuring” or “risk-taking ”. The Norse would recruit crews for a ship, load up some trade goods and go sailing. They would land a scout or two to look around. If it was easy pickings they'd come to raid, rape and plunder. If it was well defended, they'd come to trade. In England the raids were so profitable they became annual events. And those were so successful the Danes would stay over and eventually they settled in central England in what came to be known as the Danelaw. Ireland and France got the same treatment from the Norwegians and Russia from the Swedish Rus. The Norse would burn Paris around six times until finally the French ceded land to the Norse who called it Normandy. The Vikings would come to be respected by the Byzantines who recruited them as the Varangian Guard. The Rus founded Kiev and would give the their name to the land: Russia.
I read something and wonder if its true. In my research on pirates, it says Vikings were the worlds first Pirates? and that the name Viking means pirate? Is that what you found out from your own research Bravo?
I read that too, but it turns out to be a misconception. Viking came to mean the same thing as pirate but it originally meant something like "risk-taking" or "adventure travel" . As for the first pirates, there has probably been piracy since the first merchant ship sailed. The Barbary pirates in North Africa go back to the Phoenician s.
I...wasn't expecting that. He has some young blonde at home, a little one, and another little one in the oven! Now he is making moves on searsha! Ragnar....you dog you
Missed last page (took day off with daughter)! Wow, these sort of revelations are real passion killers (for some people! For others they flame it up...) He still comes off as honorable in a way... (at least he told her before they continued...) Interesting stuff about the Vikings! I knew a good bit of that (esp the Russia points) but not all!
Where ever in Europe that there were navigable rivers, the Vikings raided. They ran the European slave trade as well as traded in high carbon iron ore, silver and weapons.
I'll bet he was really itching to get back in the saddle... er, sail... boat, whatever. All that peaceful domestic bliss must have left him stir crazy.
