Skari

Skari was a 9th century poet and a former Viking, once a part of the Sons of Ragnar under Ubba Ragnarsson.

Having fought for most of his life, at some point, Skari no longer wished to fight or raid or kill. Ubba Ragnarsson banned him from the camp, saying it was time to let it lay. Skari knew not what to do with the rest of his life and pondered his future when approached by Eivor Varinsdottir, who gave him some life advice. In gratitude, he gave her the key to his home and permission to take some of the valuables he no longer needed. On inspecting the house, Eivor found a box of songs that Skari had accidentally left behind. She returned the box to Skari, who thanked Eivor again and swore that he would put in a good word for them to Odin when the time came for him to pass into the afterlife..^[1]
