Fifteen hundred years ago...
:00:48
... most of Europe had abandoned
its old beliefs...

:00:51
... and turned to the Christian faith.
:00:54
Only in the North did the people
hold on to the gods of their ancestors.

:00:59
The most powerful
of these gods was Odin.

:01:02
He reigned among
the stars in Valhalla...

:01:05
... and his ravens gave
him wisdom and memory.

:01:10
But whilst the fire of the
ancient powers faded...

:01:14
... a wondrous tale arose that captured
the hearts of the people.

:01:19
It told of a blacksmith
who slew a mighty dragon...

:01:22
... and won a legendary treasure. ;
The dragon gold.
