Video; Time for Viking Education!
[The video starts off in Odin's library. Ivar is there and looking a little tired like he's stayed up all night to finish a task. Without any preamble, he holds up a book of a good size that has been bound in leather. This one is new to the growing collection. Opening it, the first page has been done in a rather ornate script. Ivar reads it aloud.] "The Saga of Ragnar Lothbrok." He was the most famous Viking that ever lived, a mortal son of Odin. [There's a small pause and his voice seems to be carefully stripped of any emotion on the next words.] He was also my father. [This is probably the first time Ivar's spoken about his father or anyone in his family for that matter for any great length of time.]
I have compiled his life's story so that you all might be entertained and educated, starting from his humble origins as a farmer to when he became Earl and then King, and all his exploits in-between, such as leading the first Viking raids on England and Frankia.
[He flexes the fingers of his right hand a few times and his voice turns a little more gruff.] My hand hurts after so much writing, so I expect a measure of gratitude for such an act.
