It is a big day for me, Erik of the North.  I am just returning home from foreign lands.  I participated in the first raid of my life, and now the other peoples of the world know of our strength!  I joined a team heading to pillage a pathetically weak dwelling filled with incredible riches.  I heard some others say the name was Lindesfarne, or something like that.  Anyway, the fools had a bunch of treasure, but had no weapons or defenses of any kind.  I was able to get some gold and silver and a few rings and broaches, jackpot!  I plan to continue raiding as opportunities present themselves, but for now I must return to my homeland and help with the farming.  I kind of feel like I am starting to like Odin more than Thor, but Thor is still pretty awesome, at least as long as I need to grow crops.  Maybe on one of the other raids I can get a good wife, hopefully she would be as skilled in weaving and cooking as the fine women of my country.  Well, I have to get sailing, but I will check in with you some time soon.
