Njal Gets Burned is a satirical Alternative Character Interpretation of Njal's Saga, found on Kivutars Klassics. Aside from gags, none of the major (or even minor) events are changed, and it usually follows the original almost line by line. Except...Everybody is completely insane.No, more than the original.Gunnar Hamundarson is a paragon of all manly Icelandic virtues, and Njal Thorgeirson is a lawyer who can see the future but not grow a beard. Can anything come between their famous friendship? Will Njal ever stop prophesying doom? And what will result from the scheming machinations of the likes of Hallgerd Long-Legs and Mord Valgardson?In-progress as of January 2022. | |

Although Earl Hakon is known as the Bad, he still thinks burning Hallvard in his house is a bit much. | |

Punch-Clock Villain: Eyjolf Bolverksson, Flosi's initially unwilling lawyer who doesn't think much of the burning, but gladly pulls some very dubious tricks to pervert justice when he is bought. | |

Only Sane Man | |
Njal Gets Burned (Fanfic) / int_24321e44 | comment |
Only Sane Man: Hall of Sida. Though he certainly has his Cloud Cuckoo Lander moments (for instance, he thinks Christianity is based around worship of the Archangel Michael), he's the strongest advocate for peaceful resolutions and one of the few people respected enough by both sides to have a chance of pulling it off. Runolf is also known as "the sanest man in Iceland," and usually provides sound advice, though he doesn't do as much as Hall. | |

Njal Gets Burned (Fanfic) / int_2bcd8194 | comment |
Loyal Animal Companion: Originally belonging to Olaf Peacock, who gave him to Gunnar, Sam the dog is said to be the equal of a human warrior in a fight. He's also clever enough to know who his master's real friends are and who's working for the enemy, and brave enough to heroically give his life warning Gunnar of an impending attack. | |

Spoiler Title | |
Njal Gets Burned (Fanfic) / int_41be2c1b | comment |
Spoiler Title: just like the original, but punnier. Njal is doomed to fall victim to a house-burning - a rare and shocking event, even in medieval Iceland. At one point he tells Gunnar that his cause of death will be something no one would expect, but given the title, even Gunnar is able to figure it out. | |

Funny Foreigner: Hallvard the White, who's extremely pushy about getting Gunnar to visit his native Norway. When he gets there, everyone else is perfectly normal (for an Icelandic saga), and Hallvard's cousin Olvir tells him to drop the act. | |

Parental Favoritism | |
Njal Gets Burned (Fanfic) / int_88933ad4 | comment |
Parental Favoritism: Njal openly favours his foster-son Hoskuld over any of his biological sons, even going so far as to state this out loud in court. Obviously, his sons resent this, and it gives Mord a wide opening. | |

Dehumanization | |
Njal Gets Burned (Fanfic) / int_8ab096bd | comment |
Dehumanization: Played for Laughs, as Icelanders all agree that resident or visiting Norwegians are Redshirts, not people. Killing them is not considered illegal. note This is because under medieval Icelandic law, the right to prosecute a killing fell on the next male kinsman. If that person was back in Norway, the killing probably wouldn't get prosecuted at all, and hence it was de facto legal to kill Norwegians in Iceland, although if the killer travelled to Norway he might well face consequences. | |

Overly Long Gag | |
Njal Gets Burned (Fanfic) / int_a188ac4b | comment |
Overly-Long Gag: Medieval Icelandic law really did require fairly detailed descriptions of wounds that resulted in lawsuits. This prompts Gizur the White to repeat a paragraph-long description of Thorgeir Otkelsson's fatal wound multiple times in a row, every time he mentions a new charge against Gunnar. | |

Everyone Has Standards | |
Njal Gets Burned (Fanfic) / int_b4a6ae4c | comment |
Everyone Has Standards: Killing people in open combat is all fine and good, but several people balk at house-burnings. Gizur and Geir refuse to burn Hlidarendi during Gunnar's last stand, although they do pull the roof off (it doesn't achieve much). Although Earl Hakon is known as the Bad, he still thinks burning Hallvard in his house is a bit much. | |

His brother Kolskegg proceeds to chew him out for getting to this point, and then walk out. Njal then fatalistically comments on the consequences he foresees for Gunnar's choice. | |
