If you want to join this platoon of modern day vikings, you must recite the adventures of a certain blacksmith and the troll of Lundamyri on teamspeak.

The Battle of Fimreite (Slaget ved Fimreite) was the final battle between King Sverre and King Magnus V of Norway for the throne of Norway. The forces of Sverre Sigurdsson attacked the fleet of King Magnus V of Norway on June 15, 1184. The battle took place off the coast near the hamlet of Fimreite in the long and narrow Sognefjord in today's Sogndal municipality, Sogn og Fjordane county. Magnus had several large ships, but none as huge as the Mariasuda, which Sverre had built. Because of its great size, the seaworthiness of the Mariasuda was rather poor and it would only be useful within the narrow fjords. The ships in the fleet of King Magnus were lashed together, creating the appearance of one big fleet.

While the Mariasuda held up half of the enemy fleet, the rest attacked the outlying enemy ships. Sverre Sigurdsson sent his ships into battle in squadrons, to charge and overwhelm on one ship at a time, forcing the Magnus' men to jump over to the next. As the battle proceeded, the remaining ships became extremely crammed, and then started to go down because of the weight. King Magnus V was reported to have gone down on one of the last of them.

After Magnus' death, King Sverre became the sole sovereign of Norway.
