1220 of Aron Hiorleifsson (1200-1255), a man whose strength, courage and adventures befit rather a henchman of Olaf Tryggvason than one of King Haakon's thanes (the beginning of the feuds that rise round Bishop Gudmund are told here), of the Svinefell-men (1248-1252), a pitiful story of a family feud in the far east of Iceland. In the adventure mode, you take on the role of Larax, a young Gallic warrior seeking revenge for the brutal murder of his girlfriend and fellow Gauls by raiding Teutons. (B.C., that is.) There are two primary modes of game play in Celtic Kings: adventure and strategic mode.
Among them are the sagas of Thorgils and Haflidi (I118-1121), the feud and peacemaking of two great chiefs, contemporaries of Ari of Sturla (1150-1183), the founder of the great Sturlung family, down to the settlement of his great lawsuit by Jon Loptsson, who thereupon took his son Snorri the historian to fosterage, - a humorous story but with traces of the decadence about it, and glimpses of the evil days that were to come of the Onundar-brennusaga (1185-1200), a tale of feud and fire-raising in the north of the island, the hero of which, Gudmund Dyri, goes at last into a cloister of Hrafn Sveinbiornsson (1190-1213), the noblest Icelander of his day, warrior, leech, seaman, craftsman, poet and chief, whose life at home, travels and pilgrimages abroad (Hrafn was one of the first to visit Becket's shrine), and death at the hands of a foe whom he had twice spared, are recounted by a loving friend in pious memory of his virtues, c. by Rick Riordan The Odyssey by Homer The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan. Celtic Kings: Rage of War is set amid a highly fictionalized backdrop of Julius Caesar's campaigns in Gaul, back in the 50s.
