My experience as Editor‑in‑Chief and Writer for Allegiance Arts & Entertainment afforded me the opportunity to create high‑quality comic books with exceptional talent.

It was a rare privilege - one I never took for granted.

In part because it gave me an excuse to rock this dramatic and undeniably high‑maintenance bad‑ass Viking beard.

It also gave me a venue to create promotional videos for the Norah’s Saga: Song of the Fossegrim campaign, which married my love of graphic storytelling, with my extensive film and television experience.

A NORSE SAGA

LET’S GET WYRD

ALT FOR NORGE

Norah’s Saga: Song of the Fossegrim

The pitch: A whip-smart high school outcast crashes through the mists of time and into a realm of ice and Viking legend, where she must channel her inner warrior to face the Norse gods standing between her and home.

The above video draws from artwork used in the six‑episode series illustrated by Kelsey Shannon, whose bold and expressive style gave Norah’s Saga its distinctive signature aesthetic.

So, what is Wyrd? In Norse mythology, wyrd is the philosophy of fate, destiny, and personal accountability.

Wyrd describes an unbroken, reactive tapestry in which every past action, ancestral deed, and present choice feeds directly into the next, binding even the Norse gods as they move toward Ragnarok.

Show Us Your Berserker Face

Using Kelsey Shannon’s art from the series for the first promo was an easy call. The two live‑action videos, however, demanded a level of authenticity that couldn’t be faked, so I reached out to The Wyrd Vikings.

The Wyrd Vikings are a historical preservation and reenactment society based in the Tampa Bay area, dedicated to period‑accurate Viking Age culture.

This community of warriors—trained in authentic living‑history practices and live‑steel combat—brought an extraordinary level of texture and realism to the project.
