User:Berig

I have a wide field of interests and I try to improve on articles that belong to subjects that I am interested in. Since most articles on early Scandinavian history, culture, legend and myth are still underdeveloped I spend quite some time trying to improve them.

The name Berig is taken because it is a short and simple name, and because of my interest in early legend and myth. He was a legendary king.

I live in Scandinavia, and I have a PhD.
