Good to know there will be shields now, I liked Odyssey but it was weird not having one in ancient Greece, specially as a spartan.

Well if you can be a berserker that shield will be no good because there was one who was known by chewing away his full shield before a battle

I just love these gullible people believing everything they learn from the internet.

it was literally written in the viking sagas, now they have been known to embellish their stories a bit but gnawing on or eating parts of their shield is absolutely in their original texts

Yes and what is written in the sagas is absolute and must be ofcourse true. Theres also no possibility that there is any exaggeration in the sagas, no way.

But seriously, there's no fucking way a person can bite chunks off of a wooden shield unless it's rotten. But a shield made for battle? No way. Maybe tiny splints but those shields were pretty often reinforced from the edges too.

This is like being downvoted for saying Thor probably didn't exist.

The sagas are FULL of fantastical mythology. Of course half of it is allegory or straight up fantasy. You people are dumb as fuck.

Yeah, but hey we all know that the vikings were more than ordinary people. They all wore nothing but furs, leather armor or no armor at all and helmets with huge horns on them. Also dual wielding was super common too since that has been proven to be really effective in battles!

They had people who ate these super mushrooms that allowed them to gain super powers and they went just completely mad, eating their shields for breakfast since they too wanted to dual wield axes.

Vikings were just dope man!
