More like they have pissed off a shitton of people all over the place.
Just wait for a Seer with Scrysight coming around, a raid gone badly and everything will go to hell.

Not right off the bat. Especially if we want to talk about the overfocus on raiding that seems to be common here.

Not to mention they're raiding focused, these norsemen don't seem too keen on being farmers.

Which means they either piss off someone they can't handle and die, or they run out of easy targets and starve. They have no future, but they're too busy riding the good times to realize this.

They do still farm, they're just not very focused on it. I think they could survive a lean year or two...but yeah, they're making too many enemies for this to be sustainable.

Ostensibly whether we ask this guy for advice on how to tell everyone about Steinarr. We could talk to him about other stuff as well, though.

I guess the question is: are we here to pay respects to our Father, and ensure our extended, not-hugely close family can pay respects too...
Or are we here to recruit them to our vengeance?
I think if we're doing the former, the latter option of 'let IF just handle it' is fine. We announce who we are, we announce our father's death and how he died bravely, killing 40 men, and we go on our way.
If we want to reveal everything, how we have used our Seidr to determine our family's ally in our home betrayed us, and paid to have Steinnar assassinated, and that we seek people to join us to burn down his home and kill him for that crime, we might be best to do the former, and find a cool/smart way to plan out what we would want of them.
We have no proof as of right now of Dorri's crimes, but this is clearly a very... powerful group of people, if they have dozens of warships and some of them can fit 100 oars. They probably have enough forces to crush Dorri if we pointed them at Hading. But what would be left might be... questionable. Same with if they would believe us.

I don't think we want to try and recruit them en masse. They couldn't keep a secret. We might want to recruit an individual or two once we get to know them, but not right now, not like this in a public forum.

I think it'd be interesting to turn the entire clan's vengeance on Dorri's head, and accidentally end up causing the burning down of the entire village as they come to exact their revenge on his head.
But it's probably not optimal so I find myself agreeing with you.
Edit: well it might be optimal from a certain PoV. Have the clan move in to the land after they scour it clean of all our non allies and get the family back together! Our kids can grow up with all their cousins and Uncle's! Yay.

I have been convinced.

So, the Slavs are the ambushers, and they use some kind of mantilng or channeling to get extra abilities... neat.
Guess using multiple ones at the same time is a mark of the big shots, if at all possible, unless they just meld them, somehow...
Yeah, definitely want to speak with him, but later.
As for the blackhand shard.... well, we can eyespeak, so, that will be interesting.

I'll bet there aren't any, considering how uninterested they are in farming
Or at least nobody in stage 2 anyway.
It seems like Fister is offering us the chance to do a potentially interesting scene here, would be a shame not to take him up on it.
[X] Take him up on his offer
-[X] Demo the speech we planned, where we briefly introduce ourselves, talk about the raid on the Hading, and how assassins used the raid as cover to come and attack Steinarr. Recount how he stood against forty men like a hero and slew them all, and that we personally witnessed a Valykrie arriving for him. Explain that we are going to scatter his ashes over Gotland and give news of his death to all of his kin we know of. We and our brothers are doing everything we can to track down and the men who sent the assassins, and seek vengeance.
I don't think we want to use Dorri's name here, as we don't have proof - these guys would likely take our word and oath that we've done a divination, but it might get back to Dorri and we have not set up for a confrontation here. But their first question is going to be what we're doing to punish his killers, so we want to address it.

This looks like a good plan to me. If he sees something in the speech that could upset the leaders then he will say it.
This is a really good question.
I would also be interested in a map of the Hading Valley, until now i kind of just guessed were important places were located and how distant they were one from the other.
