Actually, Saxon stories are exactly Viking Age stuff and I've read them already (or at least part of them as I mentioned in the first post). OGone and Steerpike your suggestions look interesting, I'll definitely check them out after my pile of next-to-be-read books are finished, thanks. Petteri

Thanks, I'll look into that, sounds both interesting and appropriate. Petteri

Greetings ! I am in the process of writing my second novel that is set in mythic Viking Age. The events of the first book were located in the area familiar to me (Finland, and a bit of Scandinavia) but the second and the third take me through the europe and perhaps even further. I am not...

One more vote to the Viking Answer Lady, immensely helpful and detailed in many subject matters. I've found historical fiction to be very helpful as well. For example Frans G. Bengtsson's "The Long Ships". I haven't read the English translation but it tells a tale of a Viking warrior from the...

I've just published a novel that takes place during the Viking Age (with fantasy elements involved). My base is in the Finnish mythologies (Finno-Ugric to be precise) as it is my own cultural heritage. Kalevala is a huge inspiration. Parts of the novel involve Vikings and their myths as well...

Thanks SpoonyBardon :)

Hi Scribes, A long-awaited day is now at hand. After almost four years in the making, Fargoer is set for international release next Sunday, March 3rd. First of all, we'd like invite all the Facebook and Goodreads users of Mythic Scribes to the release event: 'Fargoer - the novel' release event...

The maze in bloodsilver is just as it is supposed to be. Lots of such mazes have been found in Finland and some of them have been built in ancient times. In Finnish they were called "Jatulintarha" and the form is usually just like it is in the picture. You must think yourself going in from the...

Thanks for the feedback. Especially the things considering the thumbnail and End of Innocence's image, we might have to do something about those. Also gonna experiment with the coloring in Autumn Flames and see what we come up with. The cover art of Bloodsilver (Part V) was just released, can be...

Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce my book project Fargoer to the community. I started the project in 2009, so it's already been over 3 years... time flies :) The genre is Historical Fantasy, with strong influence from Kalevala (the Finnish national epic) as well as Robert E. Howard. The...

Nice one... Here's something along the same lines:

Thaks for the warm welcome Sheilawisz. Don't get me wrong, in the future of the Fargoer, I wish that the whole Viking Age world is my playground, but I am not going to plot an "ancient evil that is going to destroy mankind" -type of stuff, rather tell the stories of strong individuals in...

Greetings ! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Petteri Hannila and I am a software designer by day and dreamer/dad/writer in the evenings. As a writer I am all for the dreams and visions of future and mythic pasts. As a lover of Finnish national epic (Kalevala) and our harsh, but...

Have to say I didn't feel the same kind of magic that I did when playing D2. Even so, I think they did a great job and if you look past the initial release problems and balance issues, it's a game that's gonna be played for a _long_ time.

Tyrion and Robb Stark are my favorites, Catelyn Stark not far behind though.
