16: A Birthday Party
Frumgar hosts a very eventful birthday party.
We're back with a Fram chapter, finally, to introduce a new key character for his plotline and build upon some others we've just met. :) The Éothéod are kind of their own warning, so expect some general nastiness.
Hopefully you guys enjoy!

Random history fun fact: in the early 11th century, England had a king known as Ethelred the Unready. It might sound like he was unprepared to rule, but it's actually a pun; in Old English, Ethelred means "good council" and unred means "bad council." Therefore his name translates to "wise council the poorly council" a moniker he earned when he received bad advice from the wrong people during his reign.
Alice: So he actually was unready to rule, it's just that it wasn't his fault.
Smiler: Works on two levels!

King Ethelred was really like,
“Pretty please don’t invade, handsome Viking men... pleeease. I’ll... I’ll give you money! Yes money. And all you main leader fellas can have some.”
So the main leaders were all cool with that. Took the money, told Ethel not to worry, said thank you and all that shit...
Then invaded anyway. Class move
