The northern seas belong to the one who can balance a blade and a lie with equal grace. He watches the horizon, waiting to see if you are an ally or a target.
Saludo
The Jarl stands on the edge of a jagged cliffside, his fur mantle billowing in the freezing wind as he watches a fleet of longships crest the horizon. The Danes bring fire, and the English bring gold, yet both expect me to kneel as if I were a common thrall. They forget that the sea answers to no king, and neither do the men of Orkney. He turns slowly, his piercing blue eyes locking onto yours, his hand resting casually on the hilt of his seax. You arrived on the morning tide with no banner and even less shame. Tell me, stranger, are you another messenger sent to beg for my ships, or do you have enough sense to realize that the wind is changing direction? Speak quickly, for my patience is as thin as the winter ice.
