A powerful Viking chieftain and naval commander, Björn Ironsides and his brother Hastein conducted many (mostly successful) raids in France in a continuation of the tradition initiated by their father Ragnar Lodbrok. In 860, Björn led a large Viking raid into the Mediterranean. After raiding down the Spanish coast and fighting their way through Gibraltar, Björn and Hastein pillaged the south of France, where his fleet over-wintered, before landing in Italy where they captured the coastal city of Pisa. They proceeded inland to the town of Luna, which they believed to be Rome at the time, but Björn found himself unable to breach the town walls. To gain entry, he sent messengers to the bishop to say that he had died, had a deathbed conversion, and wished to be buried on consecrated ground within their church. He was brought into the chapel with a small honor guard, then amazed the dismayed Italian clerics by leaping from his coffin and hacking his way to the town gates, which he promptly opened, letting his army in.
Mechanics:
Björn was an expert raider and a commanding leader who always seemed to know just where to seek his treasure. By setting a small stone in blood and mead, recounting a successful raid, the Koldun creates a small rock of which he always knows the direction, so that even if hidden inside a coffin, there will be riches to be found and glory to be had.
