Benighted Betrothal + PDF

The court of Jarl Olaf Gunnbjörn is holding a feast!
The Norsemen of the region are soon departing on a raid and his daughter Ingrid is celebrating her betrothal to Varghöss Sigurdsson, an ambitious nobleman of a neighbouring settlement.

Though the marriage will put an end to the rivalry between two clans there are forces working against the union: Grimhulda the swamp witch, who uses her dark magics to take revenge upon the Jarl for rejecting her love decades ago and Fridha, the Jarl's wife, who realises that Varghöss is her own illegitimate son!
