Our story begins.. in the spring of 999 AD...in Denmark...
Forkbeard and Olav, once as close as brothers, now seek to destroy the other -over a betrayal of trust. The story spans 6 months in 1000 AD at a turning point when the Old Gods of the Norse World are facing destruction by the onslaught of the Saxon's Christian faith.
The two men are pushed further towards a showdown by their respective Queens, Sigrid and Thyra. Helplessly caught in the cross-fire is a young archer, Einar, who loves both men as a father-figure. No matter who wins the final confrontation, the quest for complete power will destroy more than flesh and bone; it will bring the death of love for all involved in this classical story of human lust, hatred, hope and ambition. Dramatic choreography and original score performed by talented actors of Malaysia creates a unique and entertaining Viking experience.
