Persona story:
As the daughter of Sir Malachi Halfdan Brightskull and Mistress Aleksina Taisiya Rogvolodovna, I have had ample opportunity to explore the world. So much so that I was even born on one of my father’s merchanting boats because mother was too stubborn to be left behind!
Even though my father was baptized as a Christian I was raised with all the knowledge and beliefs of the old Norse Gods as well as a respect for the One God. After all, a Viking can never have too many Gods looking over them, can they?
I currently reside in Hedeby, Denmark and manage yet another of my grandfather Rogvolod’s prosperous trading companies. The year for me is 970 AD. When I am not maintaining shipping records or scripting money, I spend my time weaving, sewing, embroidering and enjoying the freedom of single life.
