Freystein's Tale
~*****~
Have you ever wondered how you would adapt to waking up in Tamriel? Personally, I'm sure we'd all come to a grisly and quick end.
What about an Icelandic Viking, though? There's, allegedly, a lot of Viking in Nordic culture... but how familiar would it really be? Dragons and Elves and Jarls might be comprehensible, but giant cats, lizardmen, and Daedra? How does a Dark Age illiterate survive, adapt, and come to understand Skyrim and its dangers?
How does he cope with being Dragonborn?
How can he relate to the inhabitants?
How does he get home?
If you have the answers, please tell Freystein, he'd really like to know!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am Freystein Gaefumathr, and the thing you must know about me, milk-drinker, is that I am not from these lands. I am no Nord.
I am a vikingr and it all began when I sailed with Thorfinn Karlsefni to conquer Vinland. We knew nothing of Skyrim, or Tamriel, or Nirn, only that Leif Erickson had found a rich land to the west...
