"Ship's Enclosure" in Old Norse
Hejsan!
I am from the Svear tribe, we are famous sailors and traders, and give our name to Svearland (Sweden). The Yngling dynasty of Svearland is the oldest known of in Scandinavia, they are known to have lived in the Uppsala region. Although I maintain a place in Uppsala, I mostly reside in Birka where I have built piers and a drydock for my ship which is setting sail on her maiden voyage! The Skiðblaðnir shall sail to glory!
The stone Longhouse I have built here is the beginning of a good homestead, I have fields, livestock, small-ponies, and a good furnace for melting ore.
How does one say my name? My name is a tough one for most, "Eyvisl" is said to be pronounced "ee-vil" or "é-vyl".
These are the tales of my journeys far and wide, of the glory I take along the way. Come with me, swing steel, be written in song, our fame shall never fade! There will be time for rest, when were dead! Here's the door to the dining hall, I brew my own honeymead! See you there!

Finally the unveiling of Skiðblaðnir! I have built a Drakkar from trees that grew in my fathers lands, it is time to toss her in the water! This ship is named after Freyr's ship and shall be worthy of the name. Wanna be a Vikingr? Watch out what you wish for!
