The first season story of this adventurous anime mainly revolves around a Viking lord called Thors Snorresson. He left the battle in the middle so that he can finally live with his family in peace. This makes Floki really angry, and he wants to take revenge.
After some time, Floki visited Thors and asked him to come with him to explore a distant land called Vinland. The main motive of Floki behind this trip was to kill Thors.
The twist in the story is that Thors’ son Thorfinn sneaks on the ship along with him and Floki. Thors didn’t know about this. In the middle of the voyage, they are attacked by a group of mercenaries who are appointed by Floki to kill Thors.
He fights back strongly but ultimately gives up when his son is taken, hostage. After this, Thors is eventually killed by Floki. This incident makes Thorfinn take vows to avenge his father’s death. Later he joins the same group of mercenaries.
