Skål! Tyr!
On an alternative time line we explore the dark ages,
One small village still holds out against the invaders.

Whether a Viking, a warrior, a princess or king…A Viking Thing will see you all sing!
Experience battles, beards, swords, archery, meat and ale.
The village market will trade all day! Purchase wares, fill your bellies, dance and get merry on mead.
Visit Floki’s boatyard, experience a Viking funeral, dress in your best Viking vestments and come raid and pillage with the Alter Egos clan!
