Saga

The Stories That Shape the North

From epic tales of gods and heroes to the daily lives of farmers, seafarers, and skalds,
the sagas preserve the voices of the Viking Age. We bring those voices to life — through study,
storytelling, reenactment, and community.

What Is a Saga?

The sagas were more than stories — they were memory, law, and identity.
Told aloud across generations, they recorded battles, voyages, feuds,
and the values that bound Norse society together: honor, kinship, and courage.

To study the sagas is to glimpse a world where myth and history walk hand in hand.
