Overview

  • Step into the sweeping, grandiose saga of Norway's violent birth. This immersive audio journey takes you from the highest vantage points of Stavanger down to the very waters where the fate of a nation was sealed in blood and bronze. You will uncover the legendary Battle of Hafrsfjord, separating the myth of King Harald Fairhair from the brutal, muddy reality of 9th-century Viking warfare. Discover how a fragmented land of petty kings and warlords was forged into a single kingdom, and how that epic tale continues to shape the Norwegian soul today.
