The Svartrsung have seen better days. You are proud descendants of Svartr Foe-Burster, trusted huscarl to Harold Fairhair, King of Norway. But today you are a small and unimportant family, doggedly hanging on to what remains of their ancestral territory. More powerful clans than yours plan to take those rings for their own glory. The Gunnardung, rich and powerful Vikings and traders. The Skogralfings, who carve their farmsteads out of the dark forest. The dour Halvordung of the frozen uplands. The islander Kjeldings, those lovers of the oar, whose eyes turn always to the sea.

*The Viking Code of Honor, with the following addition: if a lawspeaker has adjudicated in good faith on a dispute or matter of law outside of a ''thing'', another lawspeaker must not contradict it; the ''thing'' is the proper forum for disputes. To do otherwise is to besmirch the other's honor, do damage to one's own if the contradiction is weak or false, and invites feuding.​

*A lawspeaker must give honest counsel regarding the law when asked in good faith, regardless of who asks. To fail to do so in informal conditions is still enough to do great damage to one's personal honor. To fail to do so when formally requested or during a ''thing'', depending on the severity of the omission or falsehood, is punishable by death. Additionally, if formally requested by a person to whom homage is owed or during a ''thing'', a lawspeaker must render honest testimony, with the same penalties for failing to do so.​
