A high-seas chase...

After wintering with the Runemaster alfs of the Shrouded Village, Einarr is finally deemed 'safe' to leave the village and rejoin the Vidofnir. But the alfen High Roads have become unstable, so he has to find another way back with his new friends. It seems as though they've hit a stroke of luck when an old friend of Einarr's father makes port. At least, it seems like they've found a ride back to Kjell.
But, not long after they set sail, a ship of the Order of the Valkyrie appears on the horizon... and starts following them.
