About this submission

Konungr follows a Viking chief who is forced to conquer new lands to save her people from a fiery storm. The story was inspired by the Rök - an ancient Swedish runestone that was successfully translated last year.

Through the Fantasy genre, I wanted to use the Rök to metaphor these events and use my Viking chief's journey to emphasise the need for sacrifice and working together during unprecedented times.
