The berserkers Aslog the mad and Eluf Beastheart met in a foreign land

Aslog was raiding with her Ashborn clan

Eluf with his Bonewearers

Each had come with ten other northmen soldiers

The two raiding parties joined shortly after their landings on the coast

But before the parties could reach a town to raid they had to cross a bridge

And on that bridge stood forty enemy soldiers defending their land

The northmen formed a shield wall on their edge of the bridge

Aslog and Eluf stood behind the shield wall, their axes in hand

The forty enemy soldiers rushed the northmen

And the northmen readied themselves

And as the wave of forty men came crashing down

The northmen broke ranks dodging to their sides

So the soldiers swinging their swords and jumping expecting to land a shield

Instead landed on the axes of Aslog and Eluf

While the berserkers were berserking tearing the men apart

The other twenty northmen created a hallway with their shields trapping the enemy soldiers in

Unable to swing their sword the enemies retreated

And Aslog looked upon Eluf's blood covered face she knew what she wanted

So began the story of the two loving berserkers of the Ashborn and Bonewearer clans

The legendary pair who the northmen still sing songs of in their halls

Even now twenty years after the northmen's defeat in the savage wars and the deaths of Aslog the mad and Eluf Beastheart

Their song are still sung

But the northmen also whisper

They whisper rumors of a son

A son named Adaar Aslog-Elufson
