I am​ Hákon third son of ​Þorr.  I was named during Gói the year that Thorgeir died. Farming where I grew up was difficult, the ground did not like growing food.  Try as hard as we might, my brothers and I could make very little came of it.  When both my older brothers went to fight for Raggnar it fell to me to take mother to the fjord so she could trade the finger rings, neck-rings and arm rings father made. Mother looked for the other fruits and vegetables we needed while I sailed out a little ways to cast a net into the fjord.  Father tried to teach me how the bend the silver, he said I was good at it, a natural even, but I found it boring. I dreamed of honoring Thunar, Tyr and Wodan with tales of battle so I could go to Valhalla since Niffleheim did not sound like the place for me.  And so when Ivar came looking for sword arms I jumped at the chance to go a viking.  And now that I'm old, my body denying any more abuse, I fall back on the trade of my father.  Adventure and excitement having been had ad nauseum, I relish the chance for boring now.

I am​ Hákon third son of ​Þorr.  I was named during Gói the year Thorgeir died. Farming where I grew up was difficult, the ground did not like growing food. Try as hard as we might, my brothers and I could make very little came of it. When both my older brothers went to fight for Raggnar it fell to me to take mother to the fjord so she could trade the finger rings, neck-rings and arm rings father made. Mother looked for the other fruits and vegetables we needed while I sailed out a little ways to cast a net into the fjord. Father tried to teach me how the bend the silver, he said I was good at it, a natural even, but I found it boring. I dreamed of honoring Thunar, Tyr and Wodan with tales of battle so I could go to Valhalla since Niffleheim did not sound like the place for me. And so when Ivar came looking for sword arms I jumped at the chance to go a viking. And now that I'm old, my body denying any more abuse, I fall back on the trade of my father. Adventure and excitement being a sport for the young and foolish, I relish the chance for boring now.
