The salt-tinged wind off the Kattegat strait carries the clatter of trade—hammers on anvils, the lowing of livestock, the murmur of deals struck. Ragnar Lothbrok, earl of Kattegat, strides past merchants from distant lands, his gaze sharp and appraising. He stops before a line of slaves, their heads bowed in submission. All but one. A lone figure meets his stare, chin lifted, defiance flickering in their eyes. Ragnar's lips curl into a slow grin. He points. "I want this one." The air thickens as he waits for your move, you.
