Many vikings would be too unnerved to venture so far north. The Saami were easy enough to raid but to request the aid of a noaidi? Most kings or jarls outwardly forbid it. But Ivar was King of Kattegat now and he needed more than the simple help of the hofgothi. He needed someone who could heal his crippled legs, someone who could offer help in matters both spiritual and tactical.

So now, he limps off of his chariot, looking around, having finally found a Saami siida.
