Looking for Viking warriors and Shield Maidens and all else!
In a city named Vartlebyr a secret was created the night that Konungr Arnlaugr (Eagle Vow) was born. No one knew except for the now late Konungr Bjorg and his wife, the late Auda, and the midwife. Konungr Arnlaugr, was the first born son, but there had been a second one born that night, the King ended up being the elder of identical twins. The younger son named Alrekr (Ruler of All), who was secreted away the same night. The King and Queen kept this secret even from Arnlaugr, and from Alrekr.
The elder twin was raised and educated in the ways of ruling in the longhouse of his family, while the younger was raised in a secluded location, often visited by Auda and even on occasion Bjorg. Alrekr was back up, in case Arnlaugr was killed before ascending the title of Konungr, and so he was raised in a similar fashion as the elder twin.
Decades later, they were grown, still not knowing about the other. Arnlaugr earned the title of Konungr shortly after the death of his parents, and for four years, he became known as a fair and just Konungr.
During those four years, Alrekr found out, by chance, who he really, truly was, and that he had an identical twin who held power in his hands. Alrekr wished it for himself, so during those four years he was able to amass an army that rivaled that of his twin, even going so far as to stealing a few of his Drengrs, Thegns and Jarls. Making it easier for him to pull of the coup shortly after Arnlaugr's four year anniversary as Konungr.
It took place in the dead of night, and Arnlaugr was captured, severely beaten to the point of being unrecognizable and was set on a ship to take him far away, exiled or killed, no one knows.
Then again, no one knows that Konungr Arnlaugr is now the younger twin Alrekr. All that is known is that the views and ways of Konungr Arnlaugr have suddenly shifted and changed.
