Norsemen

Acting chief Orm yields power to his brother Olav, who returns from a raid, but he's not even invited to that evening's festive "pillage reunion."

Roman actor Rufus finds slavery conditions objectionable. Life as a farmer and henpecked husband is an unnatural fit for mighty warrior Arvid.

The dying Olav names Arvid his successor but Orm ascends to the chieftain's role instead. Rufus accepts the position of Norheim's "creative director."

Romance blooms for Arvid and Frøya during the England raid. Back in Norheim, Rufus's heavy-handed project management style receives negative feedback.

Ordered to surrender weapons, shields and armor for Norheim's artistic initiatives, the citizens are defenseless when an angry Jarl Varg attacks.

A useless Orm is no match for Jarl Varg, who discovers he must do everything himself, but Arvid organizes a counterattack with some surprising allies.
