Viking Saga Storytellers

The storytellers told the sagas to the Viking community. The storytellers told the sagas in parts which meant that they did not finish the story all at one time. The storytellers told the stories about the Viking gods and goddesses. The storytellers had to be worthy of the job, the family members of the storytellers would become the storyteller when the past storyteller died.  The sagas that were told were written and then told,  they were not made up by the storyteller himself.  Most sagas were written about the gods and goddesses, the sagas were not always happy and often they were about death.
