The story goes that when the Vikings came to Ireland to trade slaves and raid, a Berserker named Thor attacked a pagan community with such violence and brutality that a pagan witch cursed Thor; causing him to be refused entry to Valhalla, doomed to walk the earth for all eternity, feeding on the souls of his victims.
As the Vikings left the coast with a boat full of slaves, they discovered that their slaves had been brutally massacred with their eyes removed!
The Vikings went in search of Thor, who by the time they had found him, was no longer a proud Berserker, but instead, a twisted beast with huge horns, dripping with the blood of the slaves that he had so violently slaughtered, and thus, Thordang was born. They fought the beast tirelessly until eventually they overpowered him tossed him overboard. Legend has it that Thordang washed up somewhere on the Irish coast; now believed to be as we know it, Northern Ireland.
Some say that he still to this very day, walks the Glen's of Antrim in search of victims to feed his endless thirst for souls in the hope that he will one day collect enough to be given entry into Valhalla that he so desperately craves……
