==Chapter 4== "''Lest They Not Come Home''" Rook and Iver decide that Frostvellr is unsafe for the Skogr caravan whether inside or out, and head for [[Wyrmtoe]], pushing through long stretches of frozen waste. They arrive to a cold welcome, but are treated courteously by an old Varl warrior named [[Krumr]], who instantly recognizes the legendary Varl hero ''Yngvar'' in [[Iver]]. The Varl of Wyrmtoe join up, eager to fight the Dredge, and the combined Human and Varl caravan decide to make for [[Grofheim]]. Along the way, a small Varl party led again by Fasolt informs them of the fate of Grofheim, when a tremendous earthquake shakes the foundations of the mountains. Pursued by Dredge and earthquakes, the caravan makes a desperate run for the [[Godstone]] of [[Hadrborg]] being fortified by Varl. With nowhere else to go, the Skogr caravan is directed to the Varl fortress-city of [[Einartoft]], where they are admitted only when Iver vouches for the human refugees. Once safely inside, Rook and Iver join a War council attended by the Varl king [[Jorundr]], Hakon, Krumr, Eyvind and (optionally) Yrsa and Prince Ludin. The situation is soon revealed to be desperate: Under siege by Dredge forces led by [[Dredge Stonesinger|Stonesinger]]s, the Varl try to hold on to the ancient bridge connecting the city-fortress to the Varl lands in the north. With Jorundr outright refusing to destroy the bridge so as to stop the Dredge, the heroes are forced to fight. In this attempt, Iver sacrifices himself fighting the Dredge commander, [[Bellower]], and is mortally wounded. Eyvind distracts Bellower just as he is prepared to deliver the killing blow, when the giant [[Serpent]] (possibly responsible for the earthquakes) emerges and scatters both Varl and Dredge. * '''Important story-branching events''': Rook accepts [[Onef]]'s offer to join-up, as they are leaving Frostvellr, or not.
