Heathen Holiday: Day of Remembrance for Guthroth

Hail!

Time for another heathen holiday. This one is a remembrance one. I won't be able to really celebrate it, maybe pour something on the ground, but the Astaru Alliance has information. However, ignore the Christian hate. I don't support it.

One of the upland minor kings. Guthroth had to the audacity to make a speech opposing the policies of Olaf Tryggvason, who at the time was busy killing people who did not want to become kristjans. For exercising his Gods given rights to worship his tribal Gods, Guthroth was captured and his tongue was cut out. Use your tongue for the Gods today! Sing their praises and recite some heroic poetry, tell someone of the Gods glory, and call a kinsman to keep in touch.

In my words sums up this day.

Guthroth had his tongue cut out for opposing the kings policies. Protect freedom of speech and remember those that were punished for speaking their minds.
