Interwoven into these narratives are the Elder and Younger Eddas, presenting an invaluable perspective on the Norse mythological canon and elevating the reader's understanding of texts that are integral to the historical and literary context of the Viking Age. The inclusion of Norse ballads and mythology further illuminates the cultural ethos and spiritual beliefs that powered the Vikings' lives and afterlives, capturing the raw essence of a people steadfast in their convictions and honor. In an enigmatic decision befitting the lore it contains, the author of 'The Spirit of the Vikings' has chosen anonymity, yet the work speaks volumes of a keen editor with a profound understanding of Norse antiquity. The amalgamation of the sagas and Eddas suggests a dedication to preserving collective memory and a deep respect for the storytelling tradition that has kept these tales alive through the ages. The author may have deliberately faded into obscurity to highlight the collective voice of the Norse people, ensuring that the focus remains squarely on the content rather than the compiler, an act that mirrors the Norse veneration for their shared heritage and lore over individual celebrity.

It is not merely an anthology but a bridge across time, connecting modern-day readers with the ancient sagas and myths that shaped a civilization steeped in bravery, exploration, and spiritual depth. This tome is a treasure for those seeking to imbue their intellect with the profound narratives that are as much a part of the Northern landscape as the fjords and the midnight sun.

In the times of the ancients, people were unruly and murderous. The Moon wept with sadness at the violence and hatred people had for one another. As the Moon's tears fell upon the lands, seven animal spirits manifested. These spirits began to seek out the most righteous soul from each land. The seven chosen souls became one with their animal spirit and became kings over their people. They were forever protected and enlightened by their animal spirit which the people called "Shama." Each of these original Shama were known as: The Spirit of the Kings As the world became peaceful again, the Moon blessed all future newborns with their own Shama as a reward for the end of violence. Generations of peace followed, however, the people would, naturally, turn to violence once again. A great war erupted between the lands. All seven spirit of the kings were lost. They were now merely a memory: a legend. Noble families were elected to rule the lands in the absence of the true heirs. For generations, these families ruled the lands, however, rumors reached the queen of Azira that one of the sacred animals was seen heading towards the small colony of Canary Glenn. After many years, the true heir of the land would be born within a colony of peasants. This was an event that the royal family would prevent at any cost.

Oh Maker, all good, some horror has risen from my feet. Its the same one who Id struck off from his zenith. Its this prior Lucifer who now in a strong attempt around my legs dares to coil. And what else he does is awful: he has learned his new darkness well and weaves it to make his form misshape: he lengthens out with scaly tail and seems to be leviathan. Thats not all, more horror here: he has seized a throng of angels, those who had stood nearby his snatching tail. These have been translated evil and now are eager of this same ones zeal.
