*Johann was born | *Johann was born into a world in the throes of change. A year earlier, King Olaf had issued an edict that all the Norse people should convert to Christianity, and while there were some who embraced this change eagerly, there were others reluctant to convert. Johann's mother was one of those reluctant. Throughout his childhood, though he had been baptized with a Christian name, his mother told him many tales of the Old Ways. Johann's bedtime tales were of the deeds of Odin the All-Father, of Thor, of Loki the Trickster. All these stories remained with him as he grew older, drawing him away from the trade of his father and grandfather. As the scion of a blacksmithing family, Johann tried his best to learn the trade, but always the hearth and the saga called out to him. In the end, Johann set out to make his own place in Iceland, as a spinner of tales and keeper of songs. | ||
