"Weird." The idea that anyone would find Vikings interesting, especially if their perception of them was that they needlessly raided other people, was strange to him. "Well, that sounds like some Vikings and yes, our people did occasionally get up to the occasional raid but it used to only be on other Vikings and they tried to leave the other guy in good enough shape to try to steal it all back. It was only fair."

He shrugged.

"I can't speak for other Viking tribes besides the ones in our little group of islands but it's not really like that anymore, though. Most of the tribes made peace with each other, even though it's a little...tentative sometimes. So we farm and fish and herd animals and trade and explore, and most of the fighting got focused on the dragons. We weren't always friends with them. That, ah, that's a bit of a very recent development, one I'm pretty much responsible for."
