We started The Barding Saga last night (an AP is coming!). The Matriarch is a widow, once married to a goði named Njáll. He sold his title to another man named Njáll, Njáll Snorrisson. No one’s happy about this, and we heavily implied that Snorrisson had coerced Njáll into selling his title through legal and strictly-honorable but nonetheless loathsome means. I’m not sure how, though. What do you think happened?

Haven’t decided which playbook to go with yet, but will update as I go.

The Icelandic sagas of the Norse people are thousand-year-old chronicles of brave deeds and timeless romances, but how true to Viking life were they?
