Archeologists in Greenland have discovered what they believe to be Karlisaga. It is the only saga known to be written of a freed man or former slave. Until now it has only rarely been mentioned in other sagas. Some wondered if it even existed. Argument has been made that there was misunderstanding in the translations of these other sagas and that there was no saga of a freedman.
The mylar scroll was securely sealed within the rubble of a norse mound. The saga mentions Leif Arnarson and his viking raids in Ireland. On one particular raid he entered a large underground house where he was attacked by a man wielding a sword. He killed the man, took the sword and great riches. Also mentioned are Ingolf Arnarson and his thralls, Vifil and Karli. Ingolf awarded Karli his freedom and the sword for his assistance in avenging the murder of his brother Hjorleif. (Sword-Leif; the name Leif was called after acquiring the sword as it was of great merit and earned Hjorleif many victories) Much of the scroll is, as yet, untranslated, but there is also reference to Karli's great-grandson, Kozlov who supported Eirik the Red while he was outlawed and travelled with him to settle Greenland. 
The Quest for the Black Dragon is available in Epub for ipad/ibooks, Kobo, Sony Reader and Nook. It is also available for your Kindle and in many other formats at Smashwords.com.

Clan Dunlop Bring your coffee or scotch. You might be there a while. :D P.S. The badge design above was created by Michael Sean Dunlap I must say its pretty sweet  Lately, in my viking research, I am noticing many settlers left their homelands for Iceland because of certain manslaughters, killings and/or murders. I also just came across a passage referencing human sacrifice.
Hjorleif went harrying in Ireland. He found a large underground house and entered it. All was dark until light shone from a sword in a man's hand. Leif killed the man and took the sword along with great riches. After this he was known as Hjorleif, Sword-Leif. Was this underground house the Shi? Did Leif enter the land of Faery? Could this sword be that mystical sword known as Kozlov? |
