He wanted to be a king in his lands and don`t pay Khruntin forever. Scarlet Earl killed all Haraldsson`s Wardens in his palace. (Kings Wardens were agents of king, who watched work of Earls and controlled their power). Then Ragnar tried to kill all king`s loyal warriors in his city. There was too much blood. Scarlet Earldom was not far from Rogvold lands and king immediately sent messengers to all earls and especially to Rogvold. Rogvold came to Scarlet Earldom with other earls and with the king Haraldsson. Scarlet Earl sent all his warriors against Rogvold`s forces, but part of the army betrayed Scarlet Earl.

Haraldssone appreciated this plan and sent to Allfhyd earldom 4 his best drakkars with famous axemen. Son of the king helped Rogvolds earldom.

Earl Rogvold with king Haraldsson came to Farland lands immediately. Angry Nomads forces were not far from Farland city. Pathfinders said to Snorri, Rogvold and king Haraldsson about position of Nomads forces and their camp. In the early morning Rogvold and his allies attacked warriors of Angry Nomads. The first attack was from Farland crossbowmen. In that battle all Nomads were killed with their women and children. Earl Rogvold killed the chief of Nomads by his crossbow arrow. Rogvold was against the full massacre, but kings decision was to killed all Nomads people. Rogvold don`t think even now, that it was great victory).

From author:
Thanks all for reading this, people! Yeah, maybe some ideas are similar to Scandinavia epic sagas, but I never borrow ideas. All text there is absolutely mine. Hope, you`ll make some feedback.
I like it my friend, it's very detailed. I especially like the small part about the Yotuns, they have a great name and sound like they'll be an interesting enemy.
Indeed, you seem to have created much depth. The plot is complex and highly detailed. :)
Alex do not worry about themes that are seemingly reminiscent of other tales or stories - this is the same as music: With so many tales being told, similarities are inevitable.
Last but not least: YOU HAVE to find a good English translator. I bet the story is much more "fluid" in Russian, and the translation above was somewhat tiresome, resulting in overburdening the reader.
Very good story but i agree with Gambit_1 you need better english translator.
u got the talent for story writing but translating an story to english is waaay harder than speaking english ;)
Yeah, very good story. I especially like the moral dilemma of the Earl killing all Nomads.
I also wonder whether Earl Bluebeard has a blue beard or not :D
Nice! nothing wrong in borrowing ideas, remember that nothing is completely original is just the way that those ideas are put together that make something fresh ;)
keep it up
Nice :)
