South of Vinland An alternate history wherein the Greenlanders who settled in North America persevered, and through word of mouth inspired a large-scale migration to the "new lands." In a land called Nyr Eikland, surrounding what we call the Chesapeake Bay, the frontier settlement of Nalhafjord becomes a proving ground ripe for the rise of a hero. A tale of a fisherman discovering his destiny. Vidarr Eilofsson, "The Giant of Nalhafjord," lives a reclusive lifestyle. All he wants to do is fish in the mornings and whittle in the afternoons. But, when a longship rams the fishing docks, and Vidarr helps defend his home from the invaders, he gets a taste for battle and joins the army. A trial by fire. Vidarr is posted at the most dangerous location in Nalhaford, the Northwest Guardhouse. After the guardhouse is razed, a scarred and twisted Vidarr is eager to return to the king's service, and King Crook-Tooth has an extraordinary vision for his new folk hero.
