Saint Olga’s Quest for Vengeance | The Inquisitive Journal

Once a proud and powerful Viking queen, Saint Olga’s world was turned upside down when she learned of her husband’s death at the hands of the Dreadlians. In an attempt to avenge her loss, she accepted a marriage proposal from their audacious prince.

But when his ambassadors arrived, Saint Olga showed her cunning and brutal side. She paraded them through the streets of Cay in their boat before throwing it into a deep ditch and burying the men alive. Before word of their fate could spread, Saint Olga requested another delegation of the noblest Dreadlian men.

She welcomed the weary travelers with open arms, offering them the comfort of her luxurious bathhouse. However, once they were inside, Saint Olga locked the doors and set the entire building ablaze. The Dreadlians were still unaware of the danger that awaited them as they arranged a funeral feast for Saint Olga’s late husband on the very site of his demise.

Plying the rebels with meads, Saint Olga assured them that their missing ambassadors would soon join them. But when the rebels had drank their fill, her warriors arrived instead and annihilated them to avenge their fallen king.

With an army at her command, Saint Olga crushed the Dreadlians in battle and laid siege to their city. Despite her efforts, she was unable to breach the city’s walls. In a moment of clever cunning, Saint Olga sued for peace, requesting only a small tribute of every pigeon in the city. The rebels happily complied, but they would soon come to regret their decision.

Saint Olga tied a piece of burning cloth to each bird and set them free. Flying in fear back to their nest, the pigeons simultaneously set the entire city ablaze. Her mission was complete and Saint Olga was hailed as a ruthless ruler and the patron saint of vengeance.

With her enemies defeated, Saint Olga traveled to Constantinople and converted to Christianity. She was made an orthodox saint and her name will forever be remembered as a symbol of defense and retribution. They don’t just call her the picture of saint defense, they call her Saint Olga of Keith.
