Jarldom of Hordaland
Viking Culture
Hordaland is one of the larger Jarldoms of Norway, led by the fierce warrior King Eirik.
While there are many strong Jarldoms in Norway, few can claim to be as strong or as disciplined as the Jarldom of Hordaland. Here men cling to traditions of the past, never forgetting the lessons they've learned and morales they've been taught.
Winters are harsh and the sea is unforgiving, and because of this even daily life is dangerous. This has led many men to turn away from their old means of supporting themselves. Why should a man risk death for a small catch at sea, when he can take the same risk to raid and pillage?
King Eirik must now decide. Will he take up the axe and sail accross the sea, or will face down the other Jarldoms of Norway and make himself a king?
