Vikings in Minecraft

Everyone knows the famous warriors of the North. They are fearless, brave fighters, conquerors of nature who are ready to fight different enemies in order to win. All these words are about the Vikings. If you feel along with them, or you like the atmosphere of the North, then you can feel yourself as one of these warriors by downloading skins for Minecraft. For example, this is the skin of one of the Vikings – Roland the Red, and if you take the ax in hand, it will not be distinguished from the real one.

If you are also a fan of the series “Vikings”, which describes the life of fighters in those distant times, then you can create a character-Viking from your favorite TV series. It is also possible to create another character from the category “Fantasy“, and the variety is big. If you are still settled on the topic of the Vikings, then let’s look at some characters of the series, which you can create yourself in Minecraft.

Vikings is a Canadian-Irish historical drama, created by Michael Hurst especially for the History Channel. The plot covers several decades of the period of the early Middle Ages, known as the Viking Age, and mainly relates the confrontation between the Scandinavian tribes and the young Christian kingdoms of the West. Sources of information about those times are rather scanty and replete with legends, so the existence of many famous personalities and the authenticity of many events can be considered controversial, if at all authentic. This gave the creators of the picture a wide scope for their creative interpretation and inclusion in the tape of a number of fantastic elements, for example, mystical visions or allusions to the presence of the gods. The authors also do not adhere to strict chronology: in the series, events and personalities mentioned up to the eleventh century are demonstrated, although the action takes place at the end of the 8th – beginning of the 9th century. In connection with that, I don’t recommend taking the series as a historical one.

The series introduces viewers to the mysterious and cruel world of Ragnar Lodbrock, a young Viking who yearns to raid the unknown West, which, according to rumors, has been rife with untold treasures. Trying to realize his daring ideas, Ragnar confronts both Christian rulers, whose lands invade, and the influential leaders of his homeland, envious of his glory. In addition to fighting and bloodshed, Vikings is also a story about family and brotherhood. The series tells about the love of Ragnar and his first wife Laherts; about the older brother Ragnar Rollo, who is trying to find his place in the shadow of his famous brother; about Ragnar’s son Bjorn, who has a long journey from an inexperienced youth to a war-hardened warrior, leader and pioneer; about the wife of Jarl Haraldson Siggy, who uses his charm in secret intrigues; about the Christian monk of Etelstan, whose biblical worldview encounters the wild practices of barbarians; about the eccentric Floki, who tries to please the severe northern gods and protect the heritage of his people. These and many other characters that appear throughout the series, expect many tests that will forever change their familiar life.

The heroes listed above are far from all. There are more. And you, having shown desire and imagination, can easily reproduce them in the game Minecraft.
