@Fiscbryne, so, I found the original source for my Battle of Thetford.

thetfordtowncouncil.gov.uk/heritage/t…
SWEYN FORKBEARD
The Vikings returned to Thetford in 1004 under the command of Sweyn Forkbeard, but this time Thetford itself was plundered and burned. Thetford was subjected to another similar Viking raid in 1010, and shortly after this, the East Anglian army was defeated at a battle to the north of Thetford, probably near Ringmere in Wretham.

Sweyn Forkbeard, who led the Viking raids against Thetford, was a powerful Viking leader who ruled over much of Norway in around 1000. He was involved in raids in England from 1002 onwards, and during 1013 he led his forces in a sustained campaign across England. This culminated on Christmas Day 1013, when Sweyn was declared King of England after King Ethelred went into exile. Sweyn died early in 1014, only weeks after becoming King, but his sons, Cnut, Harold Harefoot and Harthacnut went on to rule England for nearly thirty years.


All that said, in our story, another enemy force will be arriving to drive us out.

I see! Thanks for sharing.

Regarding IC posting: did you prefer any format in particular for headers and the like? It’s no big deal to me, but I’d rather be consistent if possiblr.

I've put a post up. As I am sure you will note, it mentions that Kjartan and Åse have made laps to spread the word already. Feel free to make your post including that tidbit. Once we get a round of posts in, or a weekish has passed, we'll move along.

Hey! This RP looks very interesting. The historical setting is very intriguing and I love the rich interiority of the character posts; they lend a lot of insight. I've seen only a couple posts in IC, but may I ask if you're still open for new characters to apply?


Yes, you can still submit an application. :)

Sorry that this CS took so long! Polishing up my painting ended up taking a little longer than expected. Here's my submission:

It’s 2 in the morning in my timezone, but I should be able to get a first IC post up today, all things permitting! I’ve got @Fiscbryne’s blessing to make Gedda the younger man mentioned at the end of his post for Segrim, so I’ll be building slightly off of his in that vein.

@seonhyang Your post was really well-done! I loved Gedda’s self-doubt and and the way your writing was both deeply sensory (as it usually is) and, though not nostalgic, backwards-looking in an interesting way. I’ve been excited to see what you were going to do with him and this didn’t disappoint! On a more event-based level, I also love the recollection of Gedda’s departure from home and how the Christian entraps them while they are—literally—all in the same boat to proselytize. Speaking of, the portrayal of Christ and the way it contrasts with Segrim’s view is really interesting as well and I love seeing that conflict at play given their relationships to shame!

Your writing is, as usual, really well-grounded in a certain way I can only attempt; where Segrim and Gedda both are in their heads, Gedda feels firmly planted on the ground.

Hello All!

I am glad to see there are great posts being made! I was midway through my own before life happened, so I hope to have the opportunity to finish by the end of the week.

Post is half done! I'm working into it having talked to all of you, as well as some others who will be joining us. Waiting to see if Saix wants to add to mine for a collab to keep this wabash cannonball rolling, or do her own post.

@Pagemaster I was hyped to see this post and I wasn't disappointed! I have just one question: should our next posts detail how and when we flee, or should they take place prior to that?

@seonhyang if you feel up to introducing the Anglo-Saxon attack, I’m all for it!

@Pagemaster I think I'll have to decline on that one - I'm not sure I'd know where to start! But if your invitation to post was for events happening prior to the attack, I can see if I can write a post soon!

Loving these all these widebois in the RP 😛

Nice to see you’re still with us, @Nightbringer! I love that you’ve made Einar conflict-focused and keyed in on the other characters toward the end. I also like that you’ve motivated him most strongly with with the fear of shame, which I always love—I’d be interested in seeing how that plays out in the future!
