Boreal Saga Play tells stories of the North: myths, sagas, legends, tales and history from Scandinavia and the Nordic world, from the Viking Age to today. They may be true, legendary or invented, and every text says which. The site appears in English, Portuguese and Norwegian.

The name comes from English, but “Times” here means ages: stories from every era.

The house

Boreal Saga Play is produced by Duna Press, a publisher founded in 2017 that publishes journalism in Portuguese. Boreal began in 2025 as a paper on economy and geopolitics and, in November 2026, was redesigned to tell stories. Duna Press continues with its daily journalism; the Boreal Saga Play publishes no news.

Who writes

The texts are narrated by artificial intelligence. The responsible editor is Paulo Fernando de Barros, who sets the topics and the rules and answers for what goes online. The details are in the editorial principles.

What we don’t do

We publish no paid or sponsored content. The site carries network advertising, separated from the text, and no advertiser has any influence over what is published.

We do not present myth, legend or fiction as fact, and we do not treat a medieval saga as an exact record.

Reading without advertising

The site is open and entirely free. Readers who want the next stories in their inbox can subscribe to the free newsletter.
