The rule is simple. Write something Viking-y that I like and I'll add you to my whitelist. It can be short, long, silly, serious, whatever you want. The giveaway will end the morning of January 6th and I'll be reviewing entries until the very last minute or as late as I possibly can.

Here are a couple of resources if you'd like to learn more about Norse mythology.
pantheon.org
wikipedia.org

Now for the important part, the Jotun gib.

P.S.
If you're already on my whitelist then you don't need to write anything to join but you're more than welcome to.

P.P.S.
I'll be dropping a large portion, if not all, of my unused keys on the GA page as well so even if RNG isn't in your favour you might still be able to pick up something.

I have a dream... it's about my name well it's more a song

Stoneface dog, swirling fog, gates open on the dark dark night
Standing stone, skull and bone, dead witness to an unseen fight
Beat the drum, beat the drum, beat forever on the endless march
Stricken dumb, cut and run, someone is screaming and the sky is dark

Sword and shield, bone and steel, rictus grin
Deaf forever to the battles din

March or croak, flame and smoke, burn forever in eternal pain
Charge and fall, bugle call, bone splinter in the driving rain
Horses scream, Viking dream, drowned heroes in a lake of blood
Armoured fist, severed wrist, broken spears in a sea of mud

Sword and shield, bone and steel, rictus grin
Deaf forever to the battles din

Mother earth, mother earth enfold you in her cold embrace
Sinking down, killing ground, worm crawling on your cold white face
Win or lose, nought to choose, all men are equal when their memory fades
No one knows, friends or foes, if Valhalla lies beyond the grave

Sword and shield, bone and steel, rictus grin
Deaf forever to the battles din
Deaf forever to the battles din

Now you know how I got my name but can you name the band lol

Just wanted to bring Heroine's Quest to your attention. It's given free in steam, and it's reminiscent of the oldschool Quest for Glory series.

The concept yeah, you guessed it, a Viking era epic with Norse mythology, with Jotun, Odin, Loki etc etc. :) I had an amazing time with it and played it more than once cause it supports different choices per playthrough depending on the class you pick. xD Great ending too. Honestly this game is too good to be given for free.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm installing it now. Finally got around to checking this out and it really does look good. It actually seems to capture the retro vibe it was going for.

In my area in Southern Italy, during the rule of the Byzantine empire, were settled some veterans of the Varangian Guard and they appear in notarial acts with the surname "Baraggos" or "Varangos" as owners of small plots of land. Viking farmers, basically.

The viking's approach is to say yea to life, but embrace the death as well.
Gloomy much? v_v
