I’ve cross‑checked the berserker oath—yes, it’s in the skaldic poems, no doubt. As for the sky‑cutting spear, the sagas call it “hrafnspyrn,” but the description fits a long spear thrust from a cliff, not a divine weapon. The “sky” part likely came from a mis‑reading of a tale where the spear struck an airborne bird, and later storytellers dramatized it. It’s myth, not myth‑making. By the way, any modern table that claims to hold history is already a fraud—just don’t sit on one.
