This is positively brilliant.
Genius even.
I'm in awe at what this AAR's turned into.

Excellent story 
Soooooooooooooo funny!!!
As for the Skull, I suggest William the Conqueror for amusing value. Also, he needs to be cleanse of Norman taint After all, some Saxons did settle in Normandy in 6th century (most went to Britian) and Norman were once Vikings, so it is a good chance for William to redeem himself and cleanse himself of French taint

Rebuilding old Harold's dream in the Middle East? Interesting.
By the way I demand an update.

Miss me?
Update time, sorry about the delay.
I'll open up with some Harold in the Underworld, and once that has sunk in (an hour?) I'll bust the gauntlet with as many Edulf updates as I can.

A MechTheDane AAR,
In Association with Halfdan Productions(what the author calls it when he draws)
Harold in the Underworld
In Vision, where available.
It seems after wading in the river Styx, everything below my knees is impervious to damage.

I've never drawn frogs before.
Also for more information on the heroics of Saint Aslak, please go here:

(Sorry about spelling errors, after all the drawing i had to do..I was pretty out of it)

Harold can't die... again that is. Certainly not to some mere Leprechauns. How long will Harold victory pose for though? I mean... knowing Harold, it could be awhile. Like the next 6 episodes of Harold in the Underworld. Which honestly wouldn't make for great reading.
You Godwinson and you lose some
A Family Saga
My 600..er..464 Saxon Warriors finally land in Israel. Where they are warmly welcomed by 2,000 Arab warriors and mean looking guy called Suhail.
2,000 arabs to 464 Saxons!?
Ehhh...my generals tell me our forces will easily win.
Sadly I am a prodigy.
So while math might not be their strong suites...I knew what was coming.
I'll grieve for the fallen.
Meanwhile my Bishop keeps bugging me about my Marshal and his wife belonging to some 'Orthodox' religion.
I told him since we all believe in Christ it's cool.
But then he told me it was official religion of Russia.
I don't like Russia.
Sadly my Marshal was rather attached to his religion.
Not that we need a Marshal.
At least I don't..
...right?
Seriously? You are the guy who told me to KILL HIM in the first place!
You know what, this is insane. We'll just ask the Big-Man himself if it was the right thing to do, will that cheer you Mr. Bishop?
God, Edulf here. Just curious, killing our Orthodox Marshal...Good idea or bad idea?
Just send us a sign.
Ha. Knew it. Now stop painting your nails black and get back to work Mr.Bishop.
Speaking of Work...
Come on Saxons! The day is ours! Follow my lead! They ride camels!
Courier: My Liege, it turns out you are a Brilliant Strategist.
Edulf: Oh, sweet! Let's win this battle then!
Courier: Er..sir..it also turns out..that your brother and lord is a panzy.
Courier: The War is off.
Edulf: Damnit! I sailed all the way down here...for nothing.
Courier: Well, there are the camels..
Edulf: Fine, load them onto ships. I wont leave empty handed!
Courier: At once!
-----------
And so our beloved Edulf becomes a man.
A sweet one at that.
You God Win Son, and you lose some!
A Family Saga
New Marshal, map please.
Sigh, my brother has led my Father's kingdom into ruin.
He's also at war with some weird Finland Tribe that somehow controls the Capitol of Denmark.
That's odd.
I presented my brother 400 young, attractive, well bred Camels. As I (and you) know of his love for Ponies.
He was so upset, he had all of them murdered on the spot and made our half-Brother Wiglaf his heir.
Which is important because...well lets just say my brother isn't the sort of person to father children...with a women.
But...Wiglaf? How did he even become a Duke!
Franconia?! It's not even listed on my Godwinson Atlas of Important place(and places of importance)!
The German Empire you say?
How in the world did he pull that off.
Those Scrappy Godwinsons.
Not be out done! I decided to get enough land to reclaim the claim to my father's Kingdom.
This rebel county will do.
Hahaaha. Pagans, the silliest kids on the block.
I'll have my Welsh Marshal crush them with my Slavic Levies.
Slavic bloodshed is just the sort of thing that would make dad happy, I hope he's watching from heaven.
He'd be so proud.
Especially for this.
As my armies easily achieve victory, I realize I should probably develop a personality.
I feel rather dry.
No sorry, I wont invent some silly character flaw that is emphasized by me accepting peace right here. Nice try though, Slavics.
Because this land is now...
...mine?
Oh what the heck BROTHER!
Jean: Mmm, sorry finder's keepers.
Edulf: Finders? ..I..that was mine!
Jean: You forget, I am your King everything that is yours is legally mine.
Edulf: ....What are you even doing here?
Jean: Here? HERE? You, my silly brother, sent your army deep into my slavic regions. Why are you here?
Edulf: To get territory..
Jean: Because...?
Edulf: Bloody Wiglaf...and the Camel incident!
Jean: Chameaux! YOU DARED to tell me that filthy Camels were equal to Ponies!?
Edulf: Well they got lots of similarities and you already had so many ponies I thought something exotic wo....
Jean: ENOUGH!!! Stop your insistent babbling! You want land? You want favor? Fine. Help me in my war against the strange pagan tribes from Finland who somehow control Copenhagen Denmark.
Jean: Prove your worth to me.
Edulf: Blah, sure..fine.
Jean: That's a good little brother.
So..yeah, I returned to my home in England and got my army ready.
I planned a two pronged attack on the enemy.
My Welsh Marshal was sent to storm the Island of Gotland with the Livs Levies.
Meanwhile my Housecarls and I would voyage to Copenhagen and tare that jewel out of the pagan's crown.
Ah, I love war.

Jean really, really has to die. It's the only way forward. Ideally trampled to death by ponies if at all possible.
Oh and more Harold in the Underworld, I'll happily accept the resultant slower pace as a more than fair price to pay for such excellent updates.

Holy Hell, Harold in the Underworld is genius...as usual.
Plus, Jean is quite insane.

There's a lot of Aslak nowadays... first his long-time spawn takes the Crovan-throne, and now Harold Godwinson the Younger battles the banished frogs in the underworld.

I think it's pretty cool, actually...I'd forgotten about that edited photo of The Saint!
Thanks for the nod...and frankly, if I'd known the frogs looked like that, I'd never have blamed the Pope for sainting the guy!
