If your fate was to live in the time of constant war, you could learn from both sagas the importance of community and the value of camaraderie. The warriors in both books are instructed on how to protect and support one another, and to stand up against injustice and wrongdoing. They are also reminded that even in the face of conflict, kindness, compassion, and forgiveness are necessary qualities for survival and prosperity.
