Stout thegns split shields to prepare the wolf's feast while bold princes won rings of gold.

The most famous warriors sat high in the hall drinking deep draughts of mead from the horn as the fairest maidens served them.

The best kings kept hoards of gold to pay their slayers wages. A king with no red-fire would find himself alone.

They were unironically savages half nomads for the most part.
They had cool features tough. I liked the Virgin Ubermensh culture of the Cimbri for example.

>The New Paganism (or neo-Paganism) is no longer new, and it never at any time bore the smallest resemblance to Paganism. The ideas about the ancient civilization which it has left loose in the public mind are certainly extraordinary enough. The term "pagan" is continually used in fiction and light literature as meaning a man without any religion, whereas a pagan was generally a man with about half a dozen. The pagans, according to this notion, were continually crowning themselves with flowers and dancing about in an irresponsible state, whereas, if there were two things that the best pagan civilization did honestly believe in, they were a rather too rigid dignity and a much too rigid responsibility. Pagans are depicted as above all things inebriate and lawless, whereas they were above all things reasonable and respectable. They are praised as disobedient when they had only one great virtue--civic obedience. They are envied and admired as shamelessly happy when they had only one great sin--despair.
