The Midgard Saga II [Concluded]

[Warmaster Horus]

Alcoholic beverages such as mead and beer, I mean. The Good Lord made it so water would be enough for men, ergo water must be enough.

[FactionHeir]

Is it day now or why did I get a PM regarding the night being over?

[Warmaster Horus]

Apparently it's night until in about 3 hours.

[FactionHeir]

Nevermind, it was just something to create an "atmosphere" I suppose...

[Sigurd]

Night phase completed.

The men and women from the Norse kingdoms that had come to Alþingi Iceland, had travelled far and were weary after the long journey. They had followed the young law speaker’s instruction and had built camps in a half circle around the centre of the Thing.
When they had finished, they mingled with the others sharing the latest gossip from their end of the world.
Mead was brought out and the travel weariness was soon forgotten. Laughter was heard in all the camps and warriors and noble men all walked between the camps sharing stories of bravery in war campaigns and detailed stories with easy women that they had met on foreign soil.
Night time approached and drunken men tried to find their way back to their sleeping mats. A few lingered at the campfires and shared a skin of mead or two or three.

Twilightblade was one of them and he never noticed the little man who passed him the mead skin. After drinking deeply he felt rather drowsy. “I guess I need to find my mat and get some sleep”, he told the others. It was hard to find where he had put his gear and it took some trial and error, with following curses from sleeping men getting a boot on a foot or a hand. He finally found a place and slumped hard to the ground. Oh how wonderful it was to close his eyes. The darkness that closed around him felt comforting and he embraced it. Suddenly he felt the ground jolting below him and he opened his eyes. He was no longer sleeping on the ground. The ground rushed below him and his face was full of sweet smelling golden hair. He looked up and into the back of a young and apparently beautiful woman. “Ah there you are handsome.” She turned and he looked right into a pair of the most beautiful blue eyes he had ever seen. “I am taking you home, handsome. Please hold me, I am rather cold”. Twilightblade grabbed the lithe body in front of him and wished this ride would never end.

The men of Jorvik were in full panoply when they found one of their warriors with an eternal smile frozen on his face, lying on the ground.
How could someone just die without having been slain in battle? This was not some old creep at the end of his days. They spoke of evil magic and dark forces and leaving this obviously Jotun infested place. Their uproar woke the other camps and it was not too long before they all marched purposefully to the law speaker, demanding some action.
The young man with the not so young eyes asked to see the dead body. The men of Jorvik brought him forth and the young law speaker took a quick look into the dead eyes of Twilightblade and opened his mouth. The young man took a quick sniff and stood up.
“This man was killed”, he proclaimed. A poison took this man’s life and my bet is that someone among us are guilty of this.
This is in breach of the laws of such a meeting. The law says that blood must be paid with blood. This is your laws and I guess you want to follow it?”
The crowd answered in unison that the law must be followed.
The law speaker took a long breath and continued, “You must return here later with a name of the person you believe have done this deed. This person will then be sacrificed to meet the demand of justice. A murder has been done and a murder will have to pay for it.”
The men of Jorvik nodded their appraisals and gave a few suggestions right there in the throng of men. “It must be one of the Norwegians, they obviously dislike our kind”.
“Return with the name”, the young man continued. “But be democratic about it. Each will cast a vote for a candidate. The candidate with the most votes will be the one who pays the price to meet justice’s demand”.

The young man turned his back on the crowd and marched towards a nearby hill. He did not like this at all. Why would someone dare to kill at an Althing? Were they ignorant of the laws? This could very well evolve to a blood bath before they had settled this dispute between Haakon Jarl of Norway and Harald Bluetooth of Denmark.

[Privateerkev]

Well there isn't much to go on. I am not fond of meatball votes. I refuse to abstain. So I picked someone for no reason other than my personal amusement. Andres has yet to finish his writeup for Taormina.

If someone sets off my radar, I'll change it.

But I would like to see everyone talking and voting.
