Iceland, 999

By Ari Weaver

Iceland, the winter of 999. Your brother Kolbein killed Onund of Bakki at a ford after a quarrel at the autumn horse fight, and Onund's widow wants him outlawed or dead. There's no king to appeal to.

Next summer the whole country votes on the Christian god, and every chieftain wants something from your family before then.
