      There also this case where a Bengali Nagwanshi prince led a naval expedition into SE Asia.
      According to Chinese records Bong (Bengali) prince Luck-lom of Naga vamsa landed in Annam (south Vietnam) defeated them in a small skirmish and married their Annamese princess Auki. This led to the foundation of Nagwanshi branch of SE Asia.

    Ever since, and I swear to you this, believe me or not. EVERY SINGLE DAY I wake up, ever since finding Wardruna, Danheim, Jonna Jinton, Munknorr, Heilung, Eivorr, Skald, and a few others - every time I wake up now, without fail I have a random song from these artists playing in my head. Usually until I go to sleep again and the whole process begins anew. This is not a curse, but definitely a blessing!!!

      Katheryn Winnick and Alexander Ludwig are from Canada, Travis Fimmel from Australia and Clive Standen is a Hollywood born. I think they worked on accents. If their accents were sound like normal English, actually that would sound weird and look weird, it would not give the feeling of Northern places. But the rest of them are Scandinavian so they speak with an accent mostly.

    I don't know how to say it with the right words, but I want to try:
    Your music inspired me to learn to talk and write Norwegian. It reheated my once burning love for nordic mythology when I was a child and even if I won't understand every word you sing, it still calms me more than any other music I listen to on a daly basis. Your music did something to me, that no other kind of music did to me, and it is this wonderful feeling of belonging to this world. Right now I'm saving money to either get my own tagelharpa or viking lyre, or at least I'm trying. Hilsen fra Tyskland og tusen takk.

    Nú munk nár af bragði ok nær dýrum deyja"
    "I did not look to a snake to be my bane;
    things happen very often to one that one thinks of the least.
    Soon now will my body die among the beasts
    "Gnyðja mundu grísir, ef galtar hag vissi,
    mér er gnótt at grandi, grafa inn rönum sínum
    ok harðliga hváta, hafa mik sogit, ormar;
    nú munk nár af bragði ok nær dýrum deyja."
    "The young pigs would squeal if they knew
    the state of the boar; of the injury done to me.
    Snakes dig in my fesh, stab at me harshly,
    and have sucked on me; soon now will my body die among the beasts."

    I love this. Just recently found out about Einor. So far this may be my favorite.

    Listening to that I legit felt like it was 850 AD and I was sitting in a mead hall with a drinking horn in my hand. Holy sh*t. Legendary voice.

    Poucas músicas me tocam tanto quanto as músicas da banda Wardruna. Classifico-as na categoria espiritual. São canções que ouço ao deitar e ao levantar, é quase uma oração.
