live, he discovers, much to his horror, that all of his
friends-women and children included-have died in their tracks and
tents, As he buries his friends, he vows to befriend the forest
dwellers and make a new life for himself in Vinland. The many
tribes who dwell in the dark spruce-forested woods are constantly

end to the fighting and to establish peace among all of the warring
factions.
