Story

Have you ever worked a bowdrill? No? That is both great for you, but a shame you have not tried it. The bowdrill was the method of making fire. You would have a long, slightly curved stick with a cord along it. This would wrap around another stick and with some downward motion, you would saw across. This created ember for your fire. But it takes a long time and requires patience. This represents the need for fire, an immensely important thing for the norsemen, but that it takes time.
