Viking Expansion - The Serpent-Riders - Extra History - #1 (Patreon)

In a house by the sea, somewhere in Norway, a baby is born. History will not remember his name, and no skald will sing of his deeds. His family are not lords or warriors, yet he—and people like him—will spread Scandinavian influence from Constantinople to western lands unseen by Europeans. For this village prizes one skill above all others.

The father takes his newborn son and lays him in a crib—a crib shaped like a boat.
