After sorting out the wrinkles in time caused by the SG not knowing how to tell the time, we start back in play in Summer 1236
Vincent takes delivery of the replacement ship, the Tethys from the shipbuilders of Visby. He has already arranged a commission and is retained to escort Vifil (local Galdraman) and Thord Thurlsson to the Faeroes to welcome a visiting magical dignitary, Sven Svensson, a Viktir and nephew to the Duke of Tronheim. Valeri, Gunther Karl and Orlaith decide to tag along.
To pass the time they discuss the various magical traditions of Iceland. They have
Galdramen
who bargain with the Landvettir which are a kind of local spirit (the Galdramen are a type of Sahir from The Cradle and the Crescent, and thus will not be gone into too much detail in this campaign)
Learned Galdramen
Attached to the cathedrals, and are skilled at making charged items very quickly (the Learned Galdramen are Learned Magicians from Hedge Magic)
The Seithkona
These are the local wise women, who are the ones agitating for proxy voting at the Hreppur, (The Seithkona are Folk Witches from Hedge magic)
The Viktir
Rune magicians, int the tradition of Einar Gammilsson (public enemy number... ooh quite high). (The Viktir are the Viktir from Hedge Magic)
These four traditions have been assembled in Iceland in the Raudskinna pact, so called because it was written up in a book bound in red leather.
On meeting Sven they discover that he is in hot pursuit of a Muspelli, named Heidi, who had been recently plaguing Trondheim with wolves. She had been probably killed, but Sven was being sent to trace a lead that she had escaped to Iceland.
He is quite tetchy and grumpy, and spends most of his time with Thord, who seems quite charming and respectful.
On the way back they encounter a giant Devilfish engaged with a pod of Orcas. Gunther manages to might strip it from afar and the only survivor of the pod is an injured baby orca that Valeri takes a shine to.
Sven gives the orca a charm to tie round it, so as to heal its wounds. He clearly does this to demonstrate that his magic is Mighty and to show off, as possibly Gunther was a bit flashy.
They sail home, and Sven disappears to hunt down his quarry.
Gunther trades the 5 Perdo Vis from the beak of the Devil fish for 1 Cr 1 Re 1 Me and 1 Pe
That winter the magi decide to do a bit of Castle rustling, and manage to free the Gray Bull from the Northern Dominion Aura, by making Martin smell like a Heifer in oestrus whilst slipping in a bull disguised by a moon duration CrIm spell, so that the rustling wont be noticed. The great grey bull escapes, and Martin only escapes its amourous intentions by flying really quite fast.
Next session starts in Spring 1237
