THE RULES OF REVENGE: VIKING JUSTICE
Nothing says ‘season’s greetings’ quite like an angry Viking coming at you with an axe, does it? Sadly, he’s not offering it as a gift — rather he’s challenging you to trial by combat. This was just one of several ways Norse law allowed the warriors to settle disputes. You might also face banishment, walking on burning hot coals, or even certain death. However, the Vikings were not savages: most of their squabbles were settled through arbitration, while a jury of your peers would determine your sentence. The laws themselves did not come from on high either, but were voted on by the entire community. Face Viking justice inside this very issue.
