"We come bearing goods and trinkets from the land of the Gods, but show us the blade and we'll show you blood."

Having a look at the local and/or regional tribes – especially the area whence my forebears originated – I wanted to learn more about the Svear, Gauti, Ostrogoths, Liothida, Njars, Suehans, Firaesi etc. Now, of course, the information is rather recondite and therefore had to exercise my creative liberties to fill in the many blanks. Thus, the idea of three ships of Scandinavian tribes venturing forth to explore the unknown world, was born.
