Wrath of the Northmen

The year is 867, two years ago, King Ælla of Northumbria sealed his fate by throwing the great Viking hero Ragnarr Loðbrók into a pit of snakes, a brutal act that sparked fierce retribution. In the wake of this atrocity, Ragnarr’s sons—Björn 'Ironside,' Ivar 'the Boneless,' Sigurdr 'Snake-in-the-Eye,' Halfdan 'Whiteshirt,' and Ubbe Ragnarrsson—embarked on a vengeful campaign, landing on Anglo-Saxon shores and quickly establishing a stronghold in York and The Isles. Their fierce raids and battles have significantly weakened the Anglo-Saxon kings, who have suffered defeat after defeat, leaving their realms in turmoil and their future precariously uncertain. The Norse invaders have not only secured strategic positions but also emboldened their campaign, creating a power dynamic that threatens the stability of England. Despite the dire circumstances, hope is not entirely lost. AUTO-CARDS ADDED
