They have this song, and then they have "A Sprengisandi", which although sounds dark and depressing, is ironically a lullaby. Icelandic music is weird, but in a good way.

The elves didn't fail to kill him. He was martyred. Scandinavian mythologies are the only ones of which I know that Christians were martyred by their old gods/protective-ancestral spirits.
I have travelled quite a lot in many beautiful place but for some reason Iceland really caught me off guard, it felt like a really special place, almost like another planet. When you read about the place history, you can only admire the people who settle on such a harsh land back then, it created a special culture for sure.
Iceland and The Faroe Islands and Norway are the safest countries in the world, and The Netherlands and Sweden and Denmark also - I love Icelandic and Gothic and Norse etc!
I was doing research for a fictional continent and Iceland fits it perfectly, all the other continents are basically a mash up of different things (Italian features with the language being a combination of Spanish and French while also being located in a swampy area??) So I really want to see what would work

A viking is simply a person who "goes to viking". It's not even a job title or military rank. It's basically like referring to someone as a "participant" - you're only a viking WHILE you're conducting viking activity - i.e. raiding and pillaging.
And people like you who would diminish any and all threats to them are absolutely foul & vile, (among other things) would you say the same about another culture in the world who's way of life and people where under threat, betcha wouldn't and I think I know why.

Hence why the elves are now with an L in their species name.

This song is actually Danish called Elveskuld and it's been translated all over Nordic countries.

A very interesting take on the theme of martydom in Christianity.

It's NOT a "viking" song. It's an icelandic song. Stop throwing around the term viking. It's very annoying
Never.
Right. Vikings we're just Scandinavians navigators, not even a people

Everyone who can enjoy nordic culture only coupled with the pretense that its somehow under threat is pathetic.
And people like you who would diminish any and all threats to them are absolutely foul & vile, (among other things) would you say the same about another culture in the world who's way of life and people where under threat, betcha wouldn't and I think I know why.
