### Our History ---------------------------------------/

In the year of our Lord, 1000 CE, upon the rugged shores of Norway, there thrived valiant tribes of Norsemen, fierce and proud in their devotion to the gods of Asgard. It was in this tempestuous cradle that the prophecy arose—a vision of a great kingdom to unite the scattered clans.

Come the 1500s, Ragnvald the Bold, a chieftain of unmatched valor, heeded the call of destiny. With sword in hand and fire in his heart, he brought forth the Kingdom of Jorviklund, forging alliances and vanquishing rivals, heralding an age of prosperity and trade that would echo through the ages.

The 18th and 19th centuries stood witness to Jorviklund’s daring explorers, who set sail upon the treacherous seas to discover far lands unknown, filling the halls with tales of adventure and glory.

Yet, in the turbid 20th century, darkness loomed as wars ravaged the earth. The indomitable spirit of Jorviklund shone brightly, and its people, guided by the clarion call of “Victory or Valhalla,” emerged from the shadows, their legacy enduring through trials, a testament to valor and unity. Thus, the tale of Jorviklund continued, woven into the very fabric of history.
