I've been using the Shakespeare translator to test the fluidity of some expressions. Looking to find the right narrator and what sort of historical voicing nuances to use. More than a voice but someone that is deadpan with no humorous inflections or connection with audience. Just finished with AI which had some good suggestions avoiding cliches and understanding the nuances.
SCENE 1 đđ❤
Visual prompt. Birds from the Baltic Sea are heard while panning over ice covered runes much like the standing stones on Gotland Island. Gronigers rune from 950 AD is shown. á¨áá áá¨ážá ááˇ
Scene opens when Polena Rangers seem to magically appear out of a deep forest path.
“In the year 1313, after crossing the frozen bogs with the usual caution, the Polena Rangers emerged from the forest.
Narrator : The year is 1313, and after carefully crossing the frozen bogs on horseback, the Polena Rangers emerge from the evergreen forest with their friends following behind.
Po lee na I'm suggesting these friends are Templars who were all presumably Unalived by 1307. So people who KNOW history get that cultural reference. They trot along the beach to a pair of
ships on the horizon. A song like "Islander by Nightwish. Barely discernible is the Templar Cross. 45 sec.
SCENE TWO đđ❤ Narrator reads all the lines straight. One minute long. the entire scene shows Groniger chiseling out runes on a big stone 363 (33x11) years before scene one. This scene takes place in 950 AD. In scene 2 Ocean is higher, shoreline slightly different but recognizable with short trees in front and giant evergreens further back. A beach three horses wide. Slowly, Groniger carves runes and we see sunrise/sunset occurs 3 times during the scene, meanwhile the narrator says
“Groniger started the Bloodaxe clan in the mid 900's and they lived in the eastern fringes of Viking lands, and the Baltic Sea was their ocean. The family clans hath lived amongst the fjords in Sweden and doth vacationed on Gotland Island and the coast of Latvia near the Gulf of Riga and in present day Lithuania near the Courish Spit. There was a goldsmith they knew in Jomsburg and that is near present day Polin Poland near Gdansk.
there are other rune stones covered in ice except the one Groniger was working on.

He's a fucking idiot lol
narrator Kernave, Samland and
Jomsborg were among the towns visited by Groniger. Mostly, he and Dagmar raised
their five children: Gronyeth, Gakanrth,
Gronierss, Gronstangr, and Gakhorken, in the western fjords and Snuflesnes
peninsula in Sweden. There were many joyous expeditions to the summer magick
festival on Gotland Island and one tale tells of Gakhorken fighting a mighty
sea monster.
In later years, Gronigers standup comedy gained a giant reputation, particularly at Solstice when he played the mock bishop ( which is a Danish myth I don't have time to explain right now) to standing room only crowds. (A brief shot of Groniger’s standup routine when its mentioned by narrator. Groniger looking about 15-20 years older in front of a small crowd)

Gronyger Bloodaxe 3rd (1011-1105) knew his grandfather
Groniger the rune carver who had finally retired at his sons farm, dying when young Gronyger was three, but not without leaving a distinct impression. Gronyger the 3rd

(1181-1259) told the tale of Groniger Bloodeax 5th.
Manuscripts from his standup Bard routine have survived. And like his ancestors his incisive biting
satire proved even deadly to victims as reports of heart attacks and death
occurred soon after hearing his words. But then heart attacks and death occur
after people brush their teeth, so there. This is very likely a tale that grew
in the telling.
Detailed textures, ancient Europe fantasy realism. Don’t forget Grimhammer.
NARRATOR POINTING TO BOARD Gronyagar Bloodeax 5th 1118-1230? Narrator. Here was a character. He was the first person to say “If I had known I was going to live so long, I would have taken better care of myself” It’s been suggested by arcaneologists that the Bloodaxes trace some of their ancestral lineage to the last of the Druids who went north to hide in the Deep forests. More specifically a band of Druidesses that escaped persecution.
These Druids found refuge with the Axborgan and Oxhorken clans in the 500's when Christian Treachery
was everywhere. Grimhammer was betrayed among other historical events and the Bloodaxes were never much on plundering and invading, so they worked with the land and
travelled widely, and seemed to stay obscure from the ravages of that time.
Members of the clan were sailors of some notoriety. As the Templars came and
went through the 1100's, the Oxhorken clan helped them pack for America
and absorbed more traditions to their secret religion that is perhaps with us
today.

goodbye and walked off. but it’s believed he went north to be a hermit in one
of the ancestors’ caves and may have lived 18 more years to 130 as the story is told . One secret we are trying to unravel is why these people lived so long.

Clans move to the Langue’doc region led by Gronyar Bloodeau Sr. 1181-1259 Changed name to Bloodeau (bloo dough) The Pope slated the heretic Cathars for extinction and they nearly were, many hidden by the Pagan Knights going north to the sacred bogs, whom we'll discuss. But also at that time were the troubadors and their puzzling displays of court life. The Tuetonic Knights and other violenbt offenders made every year more oppressive with their forced conversions to Catholocism.
Eventually in 1305, The Pagan Knights up in Lithuania harbored the last of the Templars who were on the lam and the Templars stayed with the Gakhorken clan in one of the smaller bog islands. By 1307, the remaining Templars were either dead or imprisoned. The Templars plan on reviving the Pagan Knights is about to unfold today in 2026, but that's a cult secret so keep that to yourself. It's hidden here deep in the nonsense where everyone has gone and gotten a snack.

The 13 Sons, the
Bloodaxe Pagan Knights, had to hide their Pagan Viking roots, and the name was
Frankified to Bloodeau. The 13 brothers became protectorates of various
downtrodden and persecuted groups of people. Paying lip service to the
conquering chritians, they kept their distance and savored every moment in
life traveling between the Eastern Baltic and the Languedoc area of France.
Instead of Bloodaxe,
however, his children were re-named Bloodeaus, and later Brousseau when they
migrated to Canada. They rode their horses from France to Lithuania and to Tartaria
and the Caucasus Mountains.

As they grew older the sons of the Pagan Knights had an
extraordinary number of strong-willed daughters, daughters who revived some
older goddess rituals of the Oxhorkens while calling themselves the Polena
Rangers, after the famous Empress Polena in their sacred stories. Their sacred
number of 33 riders, was maintained for nearly 200 years. 3 women per unit. 11 units. Venus Diana Hecate in each unit.
These daughters became a mysterious cult of horse-riding women who formed a
“Pony express” of sorts keeping the Oxhorns and Bloodeau’s, Oxborgans and
Axhorkens in communication with each other, riding horses from Languedoc in
present day France to Kernave, Lithuania and on secret journeys to many other
places tracing back to former Atlanian villages, and taking ancient migration routes
to the Black Sea.

Bloodeau seniors firstborn son, Gronyar Bloodeau Junior(1211- 1291) became Duke of Minnew, in a distant unpopulated part of France.
Reported to practice pagan earth worship while maintaining a neutrality between the persecuted Cathars and the crusading bloodthirsty minions of the Pope, Gronyar Bloodeau Junior eventually fled France in 1276 after his wife and several children were beheaded as Christianity fully absorbed France in its Empire, and had nearly swallowed all of Europe in its maniacal maw.
WHATS GOING ON IN THE BACKROUND?
11 đđ❤ The Pope slated the
heretic Cathars for extinction in the early 1200's, and they nearly were, many hidden by the Pagan
Knights and Polena Rangers. Eventually in 1305, They harbored the last of the
Templars who were on the lam and they stayed with the Gakhorken clan.
By 1307, the other Templars were either dead or imprisoned.
They went anywhere the
bloodthirsty religious fanatics were not. They just wanted to live in peace.
Fishing, farming, hunting and gathering in the fruitful and bountiful giving
earth that giveth so much. First the Baltic
Crusade then Genghis Khan came and went, even the Ottoman Empire came within
spitting distance in time. So, they always got the boot in first, and ostracized
the invaders forever. The Mongols weren’t very good forest fighters and were scared shitless by spooky sounds.
narration ::Pagan ways faded further and further out
of view as Islam and Christianity went on their Holy Rampage of Conquest during
the 13 and 14 hundreds. The Baltic Sea and Black Sea stayed connected with the
Polena Rangers travelling between them till 1486, when it is rumored, they left
mainland Europe to live in the islands starting with England, Scotland, the
Faroes, Greenland, and all the way out
to Newfoundland.

NARRATOR READS FROM ANCIENT LOOKING BOOK
“ It is all over now except for the dousing of sacred fires. Research reveals
that Ragnarok doth occured at the turn of the millennium in 999 A.D. with the
fall of the Faeroes Island and the conversion of Eric the Red, and we are the
last vestiges of the truth. The light of the Goddess will go out as the 1,000
year reign of these devils will take our populations through many wars,
creating guilt complexes and taking hypocrisy and forced conversion to
unimagined heights and creating WW3 so they don't go to prison. A bit ‘o
Nostradamus there.
narration “Groniger continues” He wrote: What we must do is to form shadow societies that will promote
peace and abhor violence. We will create traditions of love to help carry the
worthy few to the next millennium when we will emerge with a new age of
consciousness after 1999. Protect the women, the midwives, the herbalists as we
see our sisters burn as witches for what they practice. They say witch like it’s
a bad thing, I’ll never understand.
Herbal health has given way….” Narrator dramatic pause The text ends here and the unknown middle
half of the prophecy can only be speculated about.
His book ends with the final words. "Stay close to our sacred roads along
the rivers and "be as quiet as the elves” his book concludes.
