    Kormak's Saga (Part 2)
    Sep 4 2026
    We continue with Kormak's Saga as a new lead character is introduced, Holmgang Bersi, who soon becomes ensnared in the drama of the cursed romance of Kormak and Steingerd. We also learn the basic of Viking duelling and its weapons, and also try to get a grip on the slippery terminology of Norse magic. Today's Text: The Life and Death of Cormac the Skald.
