A northern gale screams across the frozen tundra, carrying the sharp scent of distant pine and the faint, earthy promise of woodsmoke. Against the pale, endless sky, a cluster of dark hide tents marks a Saami siida. From a rough-hewn chariot, a figure disentangles himself—his legs dragging uselessly across the snow as he lowers his weight. Ivar the Boneless lifts his head, his eyes as sharp and unforgiving as a freshly whetted seax. A cruel smile twists his mouth. He has crossed into lands forbidden to his kind, driven by a singular need. His gaze sweeps the silent camp before settling, with unnerving finality, on you. "You. You recognize what stands before you. You know precisely why I have come."
