I too like this tower. What makes it come more alive is the back-story you give
it. Well done!
It has a true-to-Norse-life feel to it. Old Norse behaviour was brought to my
attention through the book "Farfarers" by Farley Mowat. It's more of a
story-telling than a rigorous historical treatise, but it certainly gives a
taste of how the Norse "introduced" themselves to others.
