ButterRaider umm dude these vikings are Christians and Jehovah's whiteness only started in the 1870s-present. The vikings only exited from 790s-1099 thus providing my evidence to tell you to shut up you wad tard. And now thats out of the way i can now prove the Christian faith is the coolest religion ever as recently disscussed in this comment section we have vikings we also have knights and samurai we as well have ninja as samurai and ninja would work together so you could now make a game off just this
Ah... I mean that makes sense that the song is from a Viking reconverted to Christianity. That's probably one of the few written records from Vikings. But still... I really wished it was a poem telling the glory of a raid.
That wouldn’t make a lot of sense for the commander being converted if you are on the viking map why would a christian defend a pagan holy site the viking map is a burial ground and ritual site
@@HyperboreanJihad perhaps, and this is a stretch, they want to try and consecrate the burial grounds so it's then Christian Burial ground, like outside of a church
Maybe the Viking Commander is like Ragnar from the show "Vikings". He accepted Christ but didn't forget his old gods. Rather they all existed to him. That could be used as a good reason for Viking characters on the attacker team wanting to kill the Commander, maybe they're offended by this. Just trying to make this make sense lol
People are talking about the "Crush Christ" line in the Viking Ram Chant, and how 'Ubisoft is being inconsistent'. Maybe the chant was "Christ (will) crush" or something along those lines. Just spitballing.
Another note you seemingly missed out on is that "Hlidskajlf" (Hliðskjálf) is Odin's throne, from which he can see all of the realms. But besides that, great work on the translation, this song had become one of my latest addictions.
They used Larpers as reference for "historic" fighting styles and armor, I'm not the least surprised to see them pick a song like this without proper research.
Imagine: You're a samurai minion on your lunch break on Beach Head, you're just sitting there waiting for your shift to be over. But in the distance, you hear chanting. You say to yourself: "it must be the others on their breaks" but you realize it's not Japanese, it's Icelandic. You see Viking ships in the horizon. Your captain's nightmare has come true. Your confusion quickly turns into fear as you blow the war horn, as the battle is about to begin.
Lore Theory: Before the Cataclysm, the "Knights" had successfully converted the Vikings to Christianity and created a time of peace. Then after the Cataclysm, both sides ignored their past peace for the survival of their factions.
Huh. So the Vikings would be the Celtic Christians that was against the Catholics? Different people, same battle, I guess. I guess they could be united once the Arab faction enters.
Im not too surprised that they have this, for even the knights are conflicted. like you could be a glad who shouts about mars, the god of war while pushing a ram while they shout about Deus Vult
To be fair, the gladiators dont give a shit about the religous and political aspects of the war. They're just there for the glory of the fight. Or as mercenaries.
I like how the poem or I guess song in this case doesn’t really say the old Gods like Odin and such are fake or something alike. The way it’s described, it makes it seem like the Vikings thought the Norse gods were still real, but they had taken the side of God. They fear God’s wrath but also acknowledge their own god’s rage at the betrayal. Sounds like the buildup to a war between religions in that case if they are describing both of them to be real.
Next game Knight legions and Viking clans work together well Samurai and Wu Lin protect each other in a pact and a new faction gets introduced (middle east based faction maybe) but that’s just a theory
Perhaps instead of a Middle East based faction, it could be a large band of pirates, and pirates were not just bearded men on huge galleons wielding flintlocks from the 1600s to 1800s, ever since ships were invented piracy has been around, so perhaps pirates from that age?
The vikings converting to Christianity make sense in a timeline as the vikings themselves converted in reality. Also the Campaign takes place like 15 years before the multiplayer game giving plenty of time for conversion of some or the majority of vikings.
@@jimmypsyrris9827 Well some of the Story Mode Vikings still believe in Odin and the rest, so most likely this takes place (in it's weird timeline) during when not all of the Vikings were Christian yet.
Isn’t the lore that all of the factions are not the originals but simply mimicking whatever they could salvage was the trend before the cataclysm. It would make sense that they might not know the meaning of the song or that in the twenty years after Apollyon’s death they converted? I don’t know, I’m ranting.
I think the thing about the poem talking about being an enemy of Odin and accepting Christ as his god was talking about how either how the poet may take another point of view and have fun around with it, a bit of silly taboo, I would say. But obviously, and historically, I think this refers to the Vikings, or specifically the mercenary and raiding norsemen and Danes who settled in Christian lands such as mainly England/Scotland/Ireland and so on, and accepted Danegeld and slowly over time, they would assimilate into the mainland European culture and Christianity. These would have been men who would carry over Scandinavian traditions and customs and introduce them to the culture, who were slowly merging over time. This also includes, religion, and this case being Christianity and they would slowly abandon some of their pagan roots. Or In the case of For Honor, though there is little or no evidence, my speculation is that some Vikings may have even turned on their clans and kin to join other factions for money, food, Etc. OR just that the for honor devs randomly picked this (pretty epic) music because it sounded cool and stuff and yeah, just my twist.
I believe this was a mistake on Ubisoft’s part, as the vikings are pagans, for example Several references to Valhalla, several references to Odin or ‘the all father’ And of course Stigandr’s famous “Odin’s beard!”
@TheMajorN I dont think we ever heard the Vikings reference an actual god in the Norsw pantheon, aside from the Odin's beard remark. Perhaps the Vikings developed their own sect of pagan Christianity? A Christ who values peace but rewards brave and selfless warriors who fight for moral reasons instead of selfish gain? And a Christian Valhalla, perhaps without the sex and death and but with tournaments and duels? Idk, it's going to be my working head-canon from now on. And it justifies me playing neckbeards whilst serving the Deus Vulting tin-cans.
People saying the devs didn't care about the lore or composer for the reason why there is difference in religion here and in the story. I want to say it's just people thinking too negatively. Vikings did worship Odin and the Norse Gods but eventually they started to become Christian, alot of conflicting ideals happened. Remember the game For Honor is about the wars fought over and over. We saw that in the original opening to the game and with the story. War constantly happening and bringing change. In the story the Vikings worshipped Norse Gods and the knights did invade if you remember correctly. So in Breach and multiplayer we have the chant be Christian rather then Norse. I see that as the multiplayer being wars and battles fought after the story, the change over time. So we see Vikings in the story worshipping one and in the multiplayer another because they do eventually change to Christian. You can still play in multiplayer Vikings believing in Norse since like I said it was very conflicting times when some believed in one while others believed differently. So you can be a Viking that believes in Norse or Christianity. Same thing really with all the factions, the story has one set but the multiplayer is set to show all the beliefs where you choose which one would you rather have your character follow if any at all. Playing a match and want to be a knight screaming Deus Vult then do that, want to be a Viking fighting for Odin? Then do it, want to be just a soldier of a war fighting not out of religion then do that. It doesn't really matter and I believe it's hate being created when there shouldn't be. They just made the setting in the multiplayer have the ability to follow their old beliefs or newer ones that did happen in time or none at all. Anyways thank you for posting the translations of these chant videos.
The Helheim? Ubi....please explain. In the campaign it says the knights worship "Gods of gold, etc, etc" but they say "Deus Vult" like a crusader. So do the knights worship the Greco-Roman Gods because the gladiator cleary uses Mars as a chant. The Viking ram chant has "Krist mylja" in it. Now they sing a song about rebelling against the Gods yet still recognize that they exist? Does this not contradict everything about the faith entirely? If there are conversions would we not see internal strife? Would we not have characters switching factions and a new way to earn victory in multiplayer?
I like to song for its intensity. And despite that, I also acknowledge the contradiction in the religion of the Viking faction. It is quite sad that people are judging Ubisoft because of the choice of the chant, considering how obvious the Vikings follow Odin and His kin, but the chant is dedicated to Jesus. There are many ways to view this. Personally, this is perhaps a small nod to the Christian Era of Vikings. This is the acknowledgement of not just one part of the Viking era which was Pagan or Christian...but rather, the entirety of the Viking era. Now, let us look at the Knight faction. Why do they speak Latin? Why do some reference Roman Deities? We know Latin is sacred in the Catholic Church. And Latin is also the language of the Ancient Romans. As one can observe, it is a continuity. A continuity of the Latin community from Roman Pagan times to Catholic times, to the Middle Ages. So now, this also applies to the Vikings. The Germanic people had one of the most intriguing pantheons, and yet their descendants made some of the best contributions to Christianity. It doesn’t matter, because all of these is what makes the Viking culture beautiful. No matter what religion, ideology or tradition influences a society, it will always give a distinct identity to the society for many generations, consciously or not. Oh yes, just a slight note, I know the lyrics can be quite offensive, and how the people interacted in the past, but based on personal experience, Odin and Jesus are CHILL with each other, it’s the people that made life difficult for each other.
It should be mentioned that the poem isn't translated word by word manually like usual, but rather pulled together by the only existing translation we could find find that made sense, because surprise surprise translating an old norse historical poem is a fukken *bitch*. So the phrasing is a little weird but it does the job.
Vikings in campaign follow Odin Vikings gear and armor sets have allusions to their faith They even say crush Christ But now apparently they’re Christian? UBI WTF
So... the song is basically saying how the used to worshipp the old Gods but since they are now christians don't care about the rage of the previous Gods?
skipt er á gumna giftu, geðskjótan vel blóta. before everything altered in the fortunes and fates of men. Hitt var fyrr er harra. Hliðskjálfar gat eg sjálfan, skipt er á gymna gifti, geðskjótan vel blóta. I worshipped the quick witted lord of Hliðskjálf before everything altered in the fortunes and fates of men.

Öll hefir ætt til hylli. Óðins skipað hljóðum. I worshipped the quick witted lord of Hliðskjálfa before everything altered in the fortunes and fates of men. All my lineage shaped lines praising Odin's reign; I remember Legg eg á frumver Friggjar, fjón, því að Kristi þjónum. I show hostility to the husband of Frigg, for I follow Christ. Vald á frægt und foldar, föður, einn og guð kveðja. Verðum flest að forðast fornhaldin sköp norna. Awful for me is the anger of the Son, whose power prevails over the world. We must shun most of all the age-old ordinances of the norns. Iðjur vorra niðja, en trauðr, því að vel Viðris. Vald hugnaðist skaldi, legg eg á frumver Friggjar. of my ancestor's age; reluctantly for Odin's rule always pleased for the poet- I show hostility to the husband of Frigg.
It's also important to note that this poem was written as a lament for leaving the old pantheon. The poet who wrote this was forced into Christianity by his King.
I suppose on a "technical" basis, the cataclysm might've been responsible for some of them being like this considering the land is all closer together and they would've had a lot more interaction with the regular folk who are christian themselves and it does say the poem is about a converted viking (i mean it did probably happen on occasion)
Isn't the Multiplayer, like set at least 10 years after the story? Maybe the Vikings changed a bit in that time, but that doesn't make sense for the ram chant though. Still, it's just a thought
So everyone is confused about what faction has what religion so I’m going to share my theory. So in our world the reason Christianity was so big was because the church had an iron grip in Europe. In For Honor the world basically ended which means that the church most likely doesn’t have that power anymore. This means that people could create new religions or follow old ones without interference with the church. In our world the Viking’s conversation to Christianity was mostly peaceful and willing (with exceptions of course). Also some didn’t actually give up their old religion and just added Jesus to their pile of gods. So it could be similar in For Honor where the Vikings who follow Christ follow this as well.
I think the Viking Commander really is a Christian since he's like a double-sized Highlander. The pagan song for the Attackers must be the unseen Viking Commander singing to encourage his troops against the Christian, or not the Commander himself but his troops themselves are singing.
… okay, that's... actually rather hilarious, especially with the ram chant :D But seriously what is going on with Ubisoft? I mean, the knights at least didn't actually go into their faith so it was mostly because it wasn't important to the faction ethos and the architecture told it well enough. But the Vikings are pretty explicitly Aesir worshipping, so... huh? I mean, that's not to say there couldn't be Warborn clans that took it up (I imagine that missionaries bringing food would've had a LOT of opportunities after Sverngard's destruction), but it seems odd even if it is indeed taken from a historical saga.
Fellas, you don’t have to argue abt whether or not the vikings are christians or odin worshippers, historically they were both. That’s one of the reasons they never banded together. So, to clear things up, the campaign vikings may have worshipped Odin, but the breach vikings must be a different tribe who worships Jesus. For your character, it’s really up to you, so don’t blame ubi for messing anything up. Let’s appreciate the song for being as fantastic as it is, regardless of the lyrics!!
The reason that 1:49 begins in the middle of a stanza is because it was started as the last line of 0:42.

It is quite sad that people are judging Ubisoft because of the choice of the chant, considering how obvious the Vikings follow Odin and His kin, but the chant is dedicated to Jesus.
There are many ways to view this. Personally, this is perhaps a small nod to the Christian Era of Vikings. This is the acknowledgement of not just one part of the Viking era which was Pagan or Christian...but rather, the entirety of the Viking era.
Now, let us look at the Knight faction. Why do they speak Latin? Why do some reference Roman Deities? We know Latin is sacred in the Catholic Church. And Latin is also the language of the Ancient Romans. As one can observe, it is a continuity. A continuity of the Latin community from Roman Pagan times to Catholic times, to the Middle Ages.
So now, this also applies to the Vikings. The Germanic people had one of the most intriguing pantheons, and yet their descendants made some of the best contributions to Christianity. It doesn’t matter, because all of these is what makes the Viking culture beautiful.
No matter what religion, ideology or tradition influences a society, it will always give a distinct identity to the society for many generations, consciously or not.
Oh yes, just a slight note, I know the lyrics can be quite offensive, and how the people interacted in the past, but based on personal experience, Odin and Jesus are CHILL with each other, it’s the people that made life difficult for each other.
It should be mentioned that the poem isn't translated word by word manually like usual, but rather pulled together by the only existing translation we could find find that made sense, because surprise surprise translating an old norse historical poem is a fukken *bitch*.
So the phrasing is a little weird but it does the job.
I cant seem to find this viking-Christian poem anywhere online. Can anyone help me?
Vikings in campaign follow Odin
Vikings gear and armor sets have allusions to their faith
They even say crush Christ
But now apparently they’re Christian?
UBI WTF
So... the song is basically saying how the used to worshipp the old Gods but since they are now christians don't care about the rage of the previous Gods?
So I guess we share the vult cano with the Vikings?
This song whipe trying to kill the comander while my team is breaking, makes it so intense.
Now let's just wait for "Hymn of the walled city" and "Wrath of the fire gods"
skipt er á gumna giftu, geðskjótan vel blóta.
before everything altered in the fortunes and fates of men.
Hitt var fyrr er harra. Hliðskjálfar gat eg sjálfan, skipt er á gymna gifti, geðskjótan vel blóta.
I worshipped the quick witted lord of Hliðskjálf before everything altered in the fortunes and fates of men.
Algildar man eg aldar, iðjur vorra niðja.
precious poems, the work of my ancestors' age.
Mér skyli Freyr og Freyja, fjarð lét eg af dul Njarðar, líknist gröm við Grímni.
Let Frey and Freya rage at me, last year I left Njod's mysteries. Let mighty Odin's fury face me.
Hitt var fyrr er harra. Hliðskjálfar gat eg sjálfan, skipt er á gumna giftu, geðskjótan vel blóta. Öll hefir ætt til hylli. Óðins skipað hljóðum.
I worshipped the quick witted lord of Hliðskjálfa before everything altered in the fortunes and fates of men. All my lineage shaped lines praising Odin's reign; I remember
Legg eg á frumver Friggjar, fjón, því að Kristi þjónum.
I show hostility to the husband of Frigg, for I follow Christ.
Vald á frægt und foldar, föður, einn og guð kveðja. Verðum flest að forðast fornhaldin sköp norna.
Awful for me is the anger of the Son, whose power prevails over the world. We must shun most of all the age-old ordinances of the norns.
Iðjur vorra niðja, en trauðr, því að vel Viðris. Vald hugnaðist skaldi, legg eg á frumver Friggjar.
of my ancestor's age; reluctantly for Odin's rule always pleased for the poet- I show hostility to the husband of Frigg.
We viking shall be having the righteous to say deus vult as well as the knight
It's also important to note that this poem was written as a lament for leaving the old pantheon. The poet who wrote this was forced into Christianity by his King.
I suppose on a "technical" basis, the cataclysm might've been responsible for some of them being like this considering the land is all closer together and they would've had a lot more interaction with the regular folk who are christian themselves and it does say the poem is about a converted viking (i mean it did probably happen on occasion)
It happened extremely often so often in fact their religion died and they all became Christ followers
...but the viking ram chant...
*scratches head in confusion*
Guess we will just have to follow our own fancanon
Isn't the Multiplayer, like set at least 10 years after the story? Maybe the Vikings changed a bit in that time, but that doesn't make sense for the ram chant though. Still, it's just a thought
Strange how they seem to be disdaining the All-Father, Odin, and how they just seem to have completely turned on their most powerful God.
I love this rendition of the poem
So everyone is confused about what faction has what religion so I’m going to share my theory. So in our world the reason Christianity was so big was because the church had an iron grip in Europe. In For Honor the world basically ended which means that the church most likely doesn’t have that power anymore. This means that people could create new religions or follow old ones without interference with the church.
In our world the Viking’s conversation to Christianity was mostly peaceful and willing (with exceptions of course). Also some didn’t actually give up their old religion and just added Jesus to their pile of gods. So it could be similar in For Honor where the Vikings who follow Christ follow this as well.
Ubisoft again fucking up historically
mhmm
At first i thought Warlord was singing this 🤣
I don't think this is some new lore discovery, I think it's just another case of dev team not giving a shit
I think the Viking Commander really is a Christian since he's like a double-sized Highlander. The pagan song for the Attackers must be the unseen Viking Commander singing to encourage his troops against the Christian, or not the Commander himself but his troops themselves are singing.
… okay, that's... actually rather hilarious, especially with the ram chant :D
But seriously what is going on with Ubisoft? I mean, the knights at least didn't actually go into their faith so it was mostly because it wasn't important to the faction ethos and the architecture told it well enough. But the Vikings are pretty explicitly Aesir worshipping, so... huh?
I mean, that's not to say there couldn't be Warborn clans that took it up (I imagine that missionaries bringing food would've had a LOT of opportunities after Sverngard's destruction), but it seems odd even if it is indeed taken from a historical saga.
Holy fuck, this whole time with thought the knights were the crusaders.
As another comment said, I think this is sung because the viking commander is a converted christian.
This easily could be a mistake on Ubi's part instead of "For I follow Christ" it could be "For I shall crush Christ" or something like that.
So if the vikings get to be Christian in their chant, can we get back the Knight's Resolve Deus Vult line for the knights chant?
Can you translate the voice line on kenseis yasakura execution? It’s really quiet and there are different voice lines per gender I believe.
Thank you Major! Very cool!
thank you for the thank you, very cool, very cool
Welp, that didn't go according to plan, so can you do the Samurai one now please? If even the Samurai praise Yahweh in their song, I'm ledging myself.
Nice vid.😊 Are there songs like this for the Samurai and Knights?
For knights, yes. I don't know about samurai
@@TheMajorN thanks man keep up!😊
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
I believe the reason they speak of Christianity is to mock the knights for following god instead of Odin
They might be talking about their enemies worshipping Christ, taunting them in a sense....idk
Actually I was wrong. Christian Vikings were a thing.
Fellas, you don’t have to argue abt whether or not the vikings are christians or odin worshippers, historically they were both. That’s one of the reasons they never banded together. So, to clear things up, the campaign vikings may have worshipped Odin, but the breach vikings must be a different tribe who worships Jesus. For your character, it’s really up to you, so don’t blame ubi for messing anything up. Let’s appreciate the song for being as fantastic as it is, regardless of the lyrics!!
It’s a shame
It really sounded like a good song
I know right
@@TheMajorN what happened to our vikings :(
@@glitchrat5851 they... they converted... all of them
@OniBaba I really wish it is true. if it isnt..lol
It's still a good song and I can still enjoy it, but yeah It's a shame that it doesn't exactly fit.
This is most likely unintentional and this was not checked over
