Viking Log — Days 250–255

Kat joined our Viking clan and brought order to every chest and heap of loot in the base. Retvar’s largess waited in the farming box: onions and turnip seeds. Such gifts feed both spirit and belly.

Bjorn and I ventured into the swamps to claim iron scrap from ancient tombs, guarded by savage Draugr. After hard-fought battles, we extracted much iron. We also raised our first Longship. Bjorn’s first voyage crossed seas of thunder, rain, and waves taller than the ship, courtesy of Eikthyr. A serpent greeted us there; we did not linger to learn its manners. The iron came home, bound for flame and steel.
