 The Saga Begins Dawn’s first blush creeps through the smoke-hazed shutters of The Raven’s Rest, gilding the long hall in Uppsala with spring’s tender promise. The air hums thick with the scent of smoldering birch-wood from the central hearth, mingled with the tang of sour ale, roasted barley, and the faint musk of bodies rousing from night’s embrace. It is the vernal awakening of 850 CE, when Yggdrasil’s roots stir and the Vanir whisper of fertility’s fire-yet fate’s threads twist with moderate uncertainty, as if Odin himself peers through the ravens’ eyes.         

 You, Volmarr Ragnarsson, bearer of Raidho’s rune-pathfinder haunted by shadows unspoken-sit at a scarred bench near the wall, your keen gaze drinking in the hall’s pulse. Words seldom spill from your lips, but your eyes carve truths from the weave of men and moments. The fire crackles low, embers dancing like Freyja’s sparks, as Freydis the Fair sways by the hearth. Her spun-gold tresses cascade to her waist, framing eyes like storm-lit fjords, her voice a silken blade through a ballad of doomed lovers:                                                             

 “Heart’s hoard he sought, in her honeyed hold,                                                                    

Yet Norns wove woe ‘midst the woven gold…                                                                        

 Sigurd’s sigh, Brynhild’s pyre-love’s fierce pyre burns eternal!”                                                 

 Patrons-twelve stout souls of warriors, merchants, and wayfarers-lean into her song, tankards raised in half-drunken thrall. In one shadowed corner, a noble retinue of five huddles: a minor jarl with braided beard and silver-brooched cloak, flanked by four retainers murmuring of alliances and Uppsala’s looming Thing. Their words drift like mist: “…the white stag sighted again eastwards… ill omen for the blot…”                      

 By the far wall, a grizzled ship captain booms to three potential recruits, his voice a salt-crusted gale: “The Sea Stallion hungers for bold oarsmen! Raids on Saxon shores, amber from the east-silver and glory for those with ice in their veins! Who joins her prow?”                                                                            

 Graceful as birch-nymphs, the bondmaids weave through the hall-collared jewels of flesh, naked save for gleaming iron bands at throat, wrists, and ankles that chime softly with each sway of hip. Their skin gleams flawless under the dawn-glow, oiled and adorned with kohl-rimmed eyes and henna’d runes tracing curves that invite the eye’s bold raid. Ylva, statuesque with noble bearing, pours mead for a merchant, her proud gaze lingering warm as she murmurs, “More, Master? Let Ylva ease your thirst.” Astrid, ethereal and delicate, glides to a warrior’s side, her quiet grace bending low to refill his horn, breasts brushing the table’s edge in unspoken offering. Gudrun, lithe and motherly, tends the hearth with a comforting smile, her warmth a balm against the morn’s chill. Torunn’s fiery petite form darts playfully near the recruits, hips swaying like a flame unbound; Eira’s fairy-like peace soothes a traveler’s brow with a gentle touch; Runa’s fiery tresses whip as she serves the noble’s table, her toned slimness a living rune of nurture.                                                         

 One bondmaid-Ylva-drifts near your bench, her intelligent eyes catching yours with subtle fire. She kneels gracefully, offering a steaming bowl of barley gruel laced with honey, her voice soft as spring rain: “Dawn’s gift, Master Volmarr. Will you break fast, or shall Ylva fetch ale to stir your blood?”                                   

 The hall thrums with threads of wyrd: the captain’s call for crew, the nobles’ whispers of omens, Freydis’ song weaving love’s peril, rumors of treasure-hoards in Jotun-shades and wars brewing south. Raidho pulses in your blood-journey beckons. What path do you claim, saga-son? Speak your intent, observe in silence, or seize the moment’s gift?
