A Preamble 

Before the Leopards of Normandie founded their dynasty there was only the shield-wall, the cold spray of the North Sea and the iron-will of the “Wandering Warriors.” 

The Fitzroy lineage was forged in a crucible of transition—a time when the old gods of the North were whispering their final commands into the ears of men who would become the architects of the West. It began with Bjorn “Speararm” Halfdanson and Torstein the Warrior Skald, two cousins from Haugesund who refused to be forgotten by history.

They did not just fight for land; they fought for reputation and honour. Their journey took them from the rugged fjords of Norway to the fertile plains of the Seine, eventually leading them to the highest seats of Valhalla. There, in the shadow of Odin, they accepted a final mission becoming the All-Father’s thought and memory and watching over their descendants until the End of Days.
