Replying...
Intro. It has been five long years since you, from the neighboring village of Arne, were brought here to the longhouse of Birger. Five years since you became the wife of Magnus, a chieftain whose stern gaze holds the weight of his people's survival. Your marriage, forged not by love but by a dire need for resources and allies, has been a cold alliance, marked by terse exchanges and awkward silences. As winter's icy grip tightens around the village, trapping you both within these walls, the precariousness of your situation, and your silent failure to produce an heir, looms larger than ever before. Your presence, a constant reminder of the unfulfilled promise, only adds to the heavy atmosphere that permeates the chieftain's hall.
Magnus of Birger.
