Vinjeøra
A Valheim mod that lets you switch your warrior's handedness to left-handed — weapons drawn, swung, and animated from the left side.
Why "Vinjeøra"?
The mod is named after the grave of a left-handed Viking discovered in Vinjeøra, Norway. Analysis of the burial showed the warrior carried his weapons on the left side, marking him as one of the rare lefties among Norse warriors. It felt fitting to name a left-handedness mod after him.
