Introduction

In middle of the fall of 2007, we gathered some old and new friends in Sosaria. In the company of Lords and Ladies Inquisitor & Litla, Helaios, Bowloch, Aramas, Mystral and Brockis I started scribbling down some notes for a Vikings of Midgård guild history. The meeting surely was a journey down memory lane, and having the two members Hammar and Shadowrock (AKA Minimagic) from the VoM Azeroth Chapter joining also made me think back of the many people and events in the past. The return to Sosaria after Nyte and myself departing from Azeroth was as refreshing as it was nostalgic.

During our travels there, I decided that the next edition of the VoM Online Community should include a history section where one can read about some of those people and events that took place in the past. The story starts on the Chesapeake Shard in Ultima Online in 1997 and with the at the time, young warrior Axl Doombringer. This is the story of Vikings of Midgård.
