Free at last from my loathsome past...

Ahh...to breath fresh air as a freeman is a new experience for me. My name is TryggR Afastrsson son of Afastr Johanesson from the northern Svear territories. For my entire life I have served the greatly respected and powerful StybbiR Andersson. It was just yesterday, one week after my 24th birthday, that I bought my freedom. It cost me almost my entire savings but I feel that for my families sake it was well worth it. Along with my freedom, Mr. Anderson was so kind as to give me a leather vest, new woolen socks, and a hindquarter of a pig. I am so happy I can hardly contain myself! Although StybbiR gave me the choice, I have decided to stay and serve However, in spite of my independence I have other worries. It is speculated that the surrounding territories are gathering arms for concentrated attacks against some foreign establishment; I know not who yet. I only hope that I can live to enjoy my freedom while it lasts.
