Kai passed out & road on a sled, Flovgaard died (again), but some of us made it through. Isolation: we showed up & Bjornhild Solvigsdottir, the queen of the tribe, was preparing to leave the camp with us to go raiding the Elk Tribe’s village. Verona confronted her with, “hello, Mother”. The Queen denied having a child, at which point Verona told the story of how she was cast out into the sea of moving ice as an infant sacrifice to Arel, ensuring Bjornhild’s immortality.
