The Varangian Guard

Dark Windows Podcast ep. 190: This week we start off with reviewing a gift from one of our lovely listeners! Then we get into the Varangian Guard, the core of the personal guard of the Byzantine Emperor and what would basically be an early version of a special forces group made up of an entirely mercenary force, mostly The Rus and Scandinavian Vikings. If the emperor wanted clowns killed, the Varangians were sent in to do it. So grab your armor and spears and get in formation! https://pdcn.co/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/AOR8552863637.mp3?updated=1648772805 Shoot us an email at [email protected] for some killer merch that's listed on our social medias!
