The Norwegians Land in Iceland, Year 872 - Oscar Wergeland

The Norwegians Land in Iceland, Year 872 - Oscar Wergeland

It's a quick break from the Clavijo storyline for some Halloween material. Specifically, this is a story from the Icelandic Eyrbyggja, the Saga of the People of Eyri. In it, a stranger comes to Froda, blood rains down, and the dead rise up to trouble the living.
