Viking Information

So you want to be a Viking huh? First off Vikings aren’t always mean, they are humble people that will defend that which is theirs. They have no extra powers, just some of them are liable to kick ass better than others. Vikings live off the land, still using boats for major transportation or horse drawn wagons. All Vikings are ruled by the King and Queen. Each Viking has a place to call home within the village, remember, there is safety in numbers. All meetings of the council and grand feasts are held in the Feast Hall. As a Viking you will travel to far off lands and scout new territory and some of you will stay home to protect the lands. All able-bodied men will be warriors, starting off at young ages and training. All Viking women will be taught to run a household from a young age as well. Such as cleaning, cooking, and some farming skills. Now the Vikings here aren't your normal sea sailing Vikings, even though they love sailing the seas. Vikings here are Shape Shifters. There are three bloodlines that have made it through out the years the Ursa Bloodline, the Panthera Bloodline, and the Canis Bloodline. Bears, panthers, and wild dogs, OH MY!
