Saxon Eorls stand peering out across the seas worrying that Viking fleets sail just out of sight.
Viking Jarls wait as their mail clad warriors form shield wall and face the hastily formed Saxon fyrd.
Traders haggle and joke with the local merchants trying to get the best deal for their rare goods from the east.
Hall builders watch as another ship bearing fresh settlers enters the fjord. The land taking is still going strong.
The Dark Ages, a violent, turbulent, but incredibly interesting period of our history. With Ormsheim we aim to live it. At shows across the country we take up arms, or crafter's tools to demonstrate that the Viking way of life is still with us.
Join us and watch Viking hordes ravage the Saxon lands. Fight for gold, for kings, or to defend your land. Learn crafts and skills from ancient times. Be you Viking, Saxon, or even Norman then you have a hearth and home with us.
But it is not all work, enjoyable that it be....
Friends and comrades all, we can often be found after the battle drinking mightily with the man we earlier killed. Society banquets and award ceremonies round off a social side that is as enjoyable as the days work.
