Meaning that no-one ever dared try it on them, I need a victim race - are the Norwegians or the Swedes better victims?
X-Coeranys/WD (Greg):
LOL. So now we have degraded to norwegian vs. swedish jokes? Well, since Bjorn is Norwegian I think he wins that one. ;)

I settled on Kolina Plyndryng as a name for my guild mistress, hopefully it doesn't sound too silly to the resident Nordics.

After reading Humon I didn't dare suggest Finns, while her cartoons on Icelandic collectors makes the looting and pillaging seem particularly brutal.

Danish is a simple language. To loot, to pillage and to plunder are all translated with "at plyndre" This is an honorable practice that vikings engaged in against people too weak to trade with. Except they called it warring. Vikings lived all across Scandinavia, so it is doubtful any Scandinavian country will have a word for pillager other than "kriger" aka warrior.
