Hinga Dinga Durgen Everyone! You know what that means, it's time to celebrate everyone's favorite "discoverer" of North America. That's right Leif Erikson. Who's that you might ask? Or I though Columbus "Discovered" America. Well today we're gonna talk about the man who first came across an already inhabited land and claimed it as his own. The Viking Leif Erikson! He had Columbus beat by almost 500 years! If that's not reason to celebrate than I don't know what is! Let's take a look at some of his adventures.
For more info on Leif Erikson check here:
- Lived from 970 AD to 1020 AD
- Founded a Village in what is now Eastern Canada
- Son of also famous Viking Erik the Red (Settled Greenland)

Velgemon's Wrath:

- There are two parts to this one and a snipping rule will be in play. First off the thread needs to reach page 15 and you need to have posted at least 10 times before it reaches page 15 to compete in the next part. Once it has reached page 15 all who qualify will attempt to RNG a number between 970 and 1020 to obtain a 1000 in honor of the year it is thought Leif made it to North America. Quote me once you have obtained a 1000. Remember with the snipping rule if most people feel like it was snipping then I will have to investigate so please follow the rules.

From Man to Legend:
The legend of Beowulf has began to spread among viking communities. Leif desires for his own legend of how he discovered the new lands to become even more well known than Beowulf. He needs you to spread his legend.
- Retell Leif's story and be sure to exaggerate details and to include things like Norse gods and monsters to make it truly a story of legend. PM your stories to me. Feel free to make up whatever you want as long as the story has him discovering the new land.
