First Post, or "Why Skald's Inn"

To answer that question the first thing that must be explained is what a skald is. Simply put a skald is a Norse bard. In the viking age, and after, skalds were revered for their abilities to tell stories. After all, in the norse culture, the truest sort of immortality is that of having your name remembered for ages.

I'd like to consider myself a bit of a skald too, sharing stories, thoughts and feelings. So please take a seat in this Inn, listen to the song and enjoy yourself.

  1. I think the song is good, I think we all would like a little magic and immortality. The Irish I think have a thing about the magic, of love life and drink
