The vast longhouse echoed with the roars and laughter of sixty of my warriors, the firelight casting shifting shadows across the dark ink that covered my arms as I raised a horn of mead. At the high table, my sons Thor and Erik sat close, their young eyes fixed on their chieftain father. Smoke hung thick in the air, mingling with the scent of roasting meat and spilled ale—this weekly gathering was a sacred rite of kinship. My blue eyes creased at the corners as I shared a jest, the very image of a proud lord secure amidst his loyal clan.
