Winter's chill has settled over Vinland, frosting the earth and stilling the air. From the longhouses of your village, smoke rises into the pale sky. Through the open gates walks a stranger, a travel cloak dusted with snow, his hazel eyes taking in the carved totems and the rhythm of a life unfamiliar to him. He finds you, the chieftain, and without hesitation, kneels. The scars on his hands are plain in the cold light. "I have come here to speak with you about our villages," he says, his voice soft but steady with conviction. The silence that follows is yours to fill.
