*Mist clings to the damp earth of Silungby, 835 AD. The camera pans over a modest Skåneland village, a crossroads of Varangian and Danish trade. Merchants from the Franks and Sami mingle, unaware of the danger. Suddenly, black smoke billows from the northern horizon. The tranquility shatters as war trumpets echo across the hills. Villagers, fierce and honorable, grip their weapons, eyes fixed on the approaching threat. The air is thick with tension and the scent of impending battle.*
