By popular demand, the Appendix to A Thing of Vikings now has a chapter containing all the epigraphs to date (with the promise of future updates) sorted in order of when the source text is first cited:

Talking of A Thing of Vikings, what (as a great American poet once asked) is a legacy? It's Planting Seeds in a Garden... kind of like this:
In the Parable of Honi and the Carob Tree (The Talmud, Taanit 23a), Rabbi Yohanan (Wikipedia indicates this is probably the bar-Nafkha) Wrote:He said to himself: Is there really a person who can sleep and dream for seventy years? How is it possible to compare the seventy-year exile in Babylonia to a dream? One day, he was walking along the road when he saw a certain man planting a carob tree. Honi said to him: This tree, after how many years will it bear fruit? The man said to him: It will not produce fruit until seventy years have passed. Honi said to him: Is it apparent to you that you will live seventy years, that you expect to benefit from this tree? He said to him: I found a world full of carob trees. Just as my ancestors planted for me, I too am planting for my descendants. Honi sat and ate bread. Sleep overcame him and he slept. A cliff formed around him, and he disappeared from sight and slept for seventy years. When he awoke, he saw a certain man gathering carobs from that tree. Honi said to him: Are you the one who planted this tree? The man said to him: I am his son's son. In Vedrarfjord, Astrid leads her loves away from the devastation to whose wreaking they contributed so much more than she. Helping Fishlegs produce a proper record of the captives, Heather has two unwelcome encounters in much-too-rapid succession. In his cabin on the Ashkelon, moored at Thames-mouth, Viggo's note-taking on the battle of London is disrupted by late news from Eire. Back in Vedrarfjord, Hiccup wakes up, still wishing nobody'd had to die, and puts forward a bold proposal for how maybe nobody will have to die next time. After the meeting, Fishlegs makes plans to help implement that proposal, and finds those plans made personal by an aftershock from one of Heather's earlier confrontations. Finally, south of the city, Rabbi Dovid and those who came with him meet the Hooligans... https://archiveofourown.org/works/104089...s/40758494 https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12639117/74...Of-Vikings

“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”

In the song The World Was Wide Enough, Lin-Manuel Miranda Wrote:Legacy. What is a legacy? And on that note, A Thing of Vikings continues! Origins of the Grand Thing, Edinburgh Press, 1631 Wrote:The roots of the foundational Imperial welfare institutions that provide food, shelter, education and medical care to all Imperial citizens predate the beginnings of the Dragon Era by nearly eighty years, dating back to the middle reign of Stoick's grandfather, Chief Hiccup II. Despite a tumultuous early reign, Hiccup II's grip on power stabilized during the AD 960s, and with the aid of his friend and confidant, the scribe Dror ben Ezra, he began a period of systematic cultural change; the ad hoc literacy classes that Dror had been holding were formalized and made mandatory for all children, a yearly census was instituted that also functioned as a minor form of taxation, and the formerly orally transmitted laws were scribed and codified. As part of that codification, the Hooligans took the earlier basic necessities that they had provided to temporarily homeless or destitute members of the tribe and made them universal, with Dror drawing on his Judaic background and training for direction in how to implement them... In Vedrarfjord, Hiccup III brings Bladewit to meet the new arrivals from Rouen. On Berk, Toiréasa has a meeting she's been dreading. In Constantinople, Sigurd witnesses some demotions and some promotions, mostly welcome. In Roskilde, Markus Ulversson meets his new king. On the Ashkelon as it traverses the English Channel waveskimmer-style, Viggo updates and organizes his notes on the Hooligans. Back on Berk, Wulfhild worries about the expansion the Eirish annexation will mean to her duties as almoner. At a party in Constantinople, Sigurd finds himself at the center of some unscheduled entertainment. Returning to Berk, Jonna stands in the godswood sacred grove to take the Joms' alliance with the Hooligans to a level she never expected. And finally, in the Alban village of Bun Ilidh, Mildew has a side-job to perform for Mac Bethad's spymaster... https://archiveofourown.org/works/104089...s/40974968 https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12639117/75...Of-Vikings
