Norse law is not written. It is spoken. It is memorized by the lawspeaker and recited at the thing. It is not a code — it is a tradition. It is not fair — it is practical. It is not merciful — it is balanced.
The law does not care about guilt. It cares about order. It exists to stop the world from falling apart — and it does not always succeed.
Where the law fails, the blood feud begins. And the feud has its own rules.
