Title: NEXT EVENT: Val de Saire (May 17th)

"After gathering a large flock, willing to ravage the land with burning fire and flame and striking with swords..." (Life of St. Léger)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login Viking fleets returned to Normandy. They had often found safe harbour there in the past, a constant source of dispute with king Æþelréd of England until the Pope mediated a truce between king and count ten years ago; but the count had died and his son, Richard II, had welcomed the Vikings again as their onslaught on England heightened. They conquered at Maldon and fell on London, and many of them took tribute and settled down as men of the king; but still others ravaged the shores of England for three full years before sailing to Normandy with their spoils.
Æþelréd was quick to exploit the respite, however, as he laid waste to Cumberland and the Isle of Man, known Viking bases in the Irish Sea; but his attention soon turned to Normandy. At Portsmouth he gathered another ship-fyrd, ready to cross the sea and do the most harm to Richard, that he may stop supporting the pirates. Ælfríc son of Ælfhere, ealdorman of Hampshire, was chosen as the captain, even though some whispered that he was a friend to the Danes; and he was to be assisted by a Danish steersman, Pallig son of Tókig, one of those who had accepted Æþelréd’s terms and entered his service.
But even before they came to land near Barfleur, the Norman lookouts spied the fleet in the horizon, and swiftly they rode to warn the young Niel, viscount of the Cotentin, Richard’s friend and most trusted captain. Together with his companion Alvreid Gaianz, “the Giant”, he mustered his host at Coutances and marched on the Saire valley to defend his land and folk against the invaders, gathering many stragglers along the way in his hurried advance towards the columns of smoke in the distance that marked where the English had burned down a village along the coast.
It was a pleasant summer day in the Saire valley, and the histories of England and Normandy were about to become inextricably intertwined.

It was there only to draw your attention, of course! You should also check out our Norman faction leader, the visquens, followed by his loyal company of the viscunte.
Evidently much fun in this event!
Join, join!

Promoting dead mod on boards dedicated to another dead mod. Really?

In terms of regular players every day, c-rpg is more alive. Víkingr does have some nice events still though. Namely the Shieldwall Events every month, and these big events that happen less often (they're quite different in their approach - the first relying on strict rules to portray shieldwall battles, the other a more traditional battle with several hosts acting individually). I'm just trying to get some zombies from in here to join the zombies of Víkingr for a grand evening or two!

As I said, the only time we get any decent amount of players is during events.
Here's footage from our last historical event in November (Battle of Maldon) and one of our old events featuring Norman cavalry (Val-es-Dunes):

Who cares, the event sounds fun and if I still played Warband Id join. Plus coming to cRPG forums to "promote" a mod isnt that intelligent as cRPG isnt exactly a large and alive mod like it use to be. Good luck on your event Dansk.
