Of Norses

Of Norses is a companion book to my guide to the Northern Kingdom, which I have written as a lexicon of not only Common Norse, but also dialect, hence the plural for Norse.

Purpose

The idea behind Of Norses first came to me while travelling: when I left the Northern Kingdom to travel South, thanks to my education, I could already read a small amount of languages and speak Latin fluently. Still, I had underestimated the amount of words and expressions that were normal to me but not to foreigners. Of Norses was born from years of translating and explaining Norse culture to outsiders.
