As the fog lifts, you glimpse the shores of East Anglia. Many miles away from home, you are ready to do what is the trade of the Vikings: to plunder, pillage and conquer. However, this time it looks as if the Anglians are prepared to hold their ground. They stand along the coast with shield poised and swords drawn and await your landing. Hammering your fists on chests and shields with full power, you and your clan unleash an intimidating sound of war. You are ready to feast with the gods in Valhalla. But this time, Odin must wait. The end will come, and the world of gods and men shall wane. But not today! Not before you have claimed your victory! Not before bards shall sing about your deeds in their songs!
