The Mead Hall

[Dansk viking]

I only just watched it (meant to do so earlier, but forgot about it; thanks for reminding me!), and I thoroughly enjoyed. Just the story of a few soldiers during an otherwise rather insignificant confrontation - no nonsense, no overly excessive drama or heroic action.

 

[Andrix]

Looks cool enough

 

[Rule zum Rabensang]

Hollywood could learn a thing or two from that movie.

Just watched the bastard executioner;

Peasants, so no helmets is reasonable, dude has swords because he was a man at arms and peasants actually brought some shields.

Clothes should be more colorful and peasants should not have riding horses but...pretty neat series when compared to most others.

What's up with the black guy? He looks lost

You have to have a black guy in the cast nowadays.
It's the law.

Its ok he's playing a dirty peasant, really dirty peasant.

Whoa, check your soap privilege brah.

 

[Hospes fori]

I'm not ready to let it go Everything isn't lost yet! Do not speak like it's over.

A true son of the North accepts his fate. It is of no use to reject the inevitable.

In my heart I will forever carry the fond memories of you, my friend. Perhaps our paths will cross once again on some fortunate day in the unforseeable times to come. Yet even then, none can tell if by then we will still recognise one another.

Farewell, loyal companion! Farewell, my old friend!

 

[Holmgaardviking]

That's really cool.

Looks like an imitation of a Frankish sword. The Franks were known for creating good blades and a lot of people in contact with the Franks wanted them. It's not surprising to see that kind of sword.

 

[Imperial Eagle]

Alternately it could be descended from late Roman spatha designs just to the north in Egypt, which were quite similar to the Germanic swords.

How very fitting.

Yeah, but the hilt is obviously early medieval European style.

 

[HannesFury]

Now is a merry time of the year. May you all enjoy.

Seconded. And you have a good time as well, Yngvald.

 

[Wernicke]

Vikings,

Merry Christmass, glorious Yule and a happy new year. Try to puke down the drain boys, your lives will be better for it.

I might've been a pain to deal with regularly, but know that each and every one of you and this mod will always hold a special place in my heart.

Thanks for the wonderful times, boys.

With love~

Guys, do you have old Vikingr SWE signatures somwhere? I'm looking for the one where a guy says 'LoL, they forgot their shields' or sth like that.

 

[jepekula]

They can both be found from the Shieldwall Event thread

Spoiler: The droids you were looking for

 

[vtz]

Thank you... Thorfinnr? Do I remember correctly?
