11	325	I gazed upon the Ubars: squat, brilliant Chung; narrow-faced, cunning Eteocles; tall, long-haired Nigel, like a warlord from Torvaldsland; and Sullius Maximus, who was said to write poetry and be a student of the properties of various poisons.	10
13	512	By the end of the second month the flag of Bosk, carried by one ship or another, was known from Ianda to Torvaldsland, and from the delta of the Vosk to the throne rooms of Cos and Tyros.	10

3	11	I saw a blond giant from Torvaldsland, with braided hair, in shaggy jacket; a merchant from Tyros, hurrying, perfumed and sleek; seamen from Cos, and Port Kar, mortal enemies, yet passing one another without thought in the streets of Lydius; a black woman, veiled in yellow, borne in a palanquin by e...	10
3	46	Three with which I was familiar from various voyages, were Tabor, Teletus and, to the north, offshore from Torvaldsland, Scagnar.	10
3	109	Those of Lydius pretend to much civilization, and are fond of decorating their houses, commonly of wood, with high, pointed roofs, in manners they think typical of Ar, of Ko-ro-ba, of Tharna and Turia, but to settle points of honor they commonly repair to a skerry in Thassa, little more than forty f...	10

12	105	Moreover, no one jarl held great power in Torvaldsland.	10
12	204	I recalled, with savage understanding, with an understanding as sudden and terrible as that of a lightning flash over Torvaldsland, that this Hesius, this tavern keeper of Laura, had, free of charge, as a gesture of good will, included wine with the shipment of girls to my camp.	10
18	31	Yet on the trackless beaches, lining the western edge of the great northern forests for hundreds of pasangs, below the bleakness of Torvaldsland, it would not be easy to make rendezvous.	10
18	452	The much smaller craft of the men of Torvaldsland, clinker built, with overlapping, bending planking, are more seaworthy.	10

18	467	It is, for example, extremely difficult to ram a ship of Torvaldsland.	10

10	314	We saw thralls, too, in the crowd, and rune-priests, with long hair, in white robes, a spiral ring of gold on their left arms, about their waist a bag of omen chips, pieces of wood soaked in the blood of the sacrificial bosk, slain to open the Thing; these chips are thrown like dice, sometimes sever...	10
1	632	If Samos were correct that 'Kurii' was a Gorean corruption of the name of such animals for themselves, and that the word was used in Torvaldsland as a designation for beasts, then it seemed not unlikely that such animals were not unknown in Torvaldsland, at least in certain areas, perhaps remote one...	10

10	624	I did not wish, incidentally, even if I could, to give him a gift commensurate with what he had, in his hospitality, bestowed upon me; the host, in Torvaldsland, should make the greatest gifts; it is, after all, his house or hall; if his guest should make him greater gifts than he makes the guest th...	10
17	285	It seemed first a ghastly infection, a plague; then it seemed like a fire, invisible and consuming; then it seemed like the touching of these men by the hands of gods, but no gods I knew, none to whom a woman or child might dare pray, but the gods of men, and of the men of Torvaldsland, the dread, h...	10

2	321	The four men of Torvaldsland carried the huge body of Ivar Forkbeard up the steps of the altar, on the crossed spears.	10
2	329	Such men, these, would be the hardest of the hard, for only the largest, the swiftest and finest might win for themselves a bench on the ship of a captain, and the man great enough to command such as they must be first and mightiest among them, for the men of Torvaldsland will obey no other, and tha...	10
2	332	I noted one of the men of Torvaldsland.	10

2	357	I suddenly saw the large man of Torvaldsland, he of incredible stature, seem to come alive, eyes wild, screaming, veins prominent on his forehead, mouth slobbering, striking about himself almost blindly with a great ax.	10

3	10	I heard the harsh war cries of Torvaldsland.	10

3	30	I released the ax of the man of Torvaldsland, and removed my blade from his throat.	10
3	31	"Do not strike him," I told the man of Torvaldsland.	10
3	44	Two men of Torvaldsland then held the giant by the arms, and lowered his ax, and, gently, turned him away from the people.	10
3	56	The men of Torvaldsland turned to face me.	10
3	61	"Are you of Torvaldsland?" "No," I told him.	10
3	67	Suddenly behind me I heard a war cry of Torvaldsland.	10
3	78	It was a salute of Torvaldsland.	10
3	83	"Hurry! The people of the town will gather!" Swiftly, tearing hangings from the walls, prying loose sheets of gold, pulling down even lamps from their chains, filling their cloaks with cups and plates, the men of Torvaldsland stripped the temple of what they could tear loose and carry.	10
3	100	The men of Torvaldsland are fond of such women.	10
3	116	To enter the circle, if one is a female, is, by the laws of Torvaldsland, to declare oneself a bondmaid.	10
3	119	Howsoever she enters the circle, voluntarily or by force, free or secured, she emerges from it, by the laws of Torvaldsland, a bondmaid.	10
3	132	It is taken by many to mark the border between Torvaldsland and the south.	10

3	171	Two of the men of Torvaldsland had, from their left shoulder to their right hip, that their right arms be less impeded, a chain formed of slave bracelets; each pair of bracelets locked at each end about one of the bracelets of another pair, the whole thus forming a circle.	10

4	8	Without it, much of Torvaldsland, bleak as it is, would be only a frozen waste.	10
4	9	Torvaldsland is a cruel, harsh, rocky land.	10
4	16	There is often not enough food under any conditions, particularly in northern Torvaldsland, and famine is not unknown.	10
4	18	It is not strange that the young men of Torvaldsland often look to the sea, and beyond it, for their fortunes.	10
4	19	The stream of Torvald is regarded by the men of Torvaldsland as a gift of Thor, bestowed upon Torvald, legendary founder and hero of the land, in exchange for a ring of gold.	10
4	30	The men of Torvaldsland sometimes guide their vessels by noting the direction of the waves, breaking against the prow, these correlated with prevailing winds.	10
4	35	The men of Torvaldsland do not use it.	10
4	39	Even fog banks, and the feeding grounds of whales, and ice floes, in given seasons, in their own waters, give the men of Torvaldsland information as to their whereabouts, they utilizing such things as easily, as unconsciously, as a peasant might a mountain, or a hunter a river.	10
4	40	The ships of the men of Torvaldsland are swift.	10
4	44	It was a board made for play at sea, and such boards are common with the men of Torvaldsland.	10
4	49	The Kaissa of the men of Torvaldsland is quite similar to that of the south, though certain of the pieces differ.	10
4	58	It did not take me much time to adapt to the Kaissa of Torvaldsland, for it is quite similar to the Kaissa of the south.	10
4	67	His wiliest tricks, of course, I knew, he would seldom use, saving them for games of greater import, or perhaps for players of Torvaldsland.	10
4	69	In the long winters of Torvaldsland, when the snow, the darkness, the ice and wintry winds are upon the land, when the frost breaks open the rocks, groaning, at night, when the serpents hide in their roofed sheds, many hours, under swinging soapstone lamps, burning the oil of sea sleen, are given to...	10
4	77	The sun, for Torvaldsland, was hot.	10
4	85	The Spring Equinox, incidentally, is also used for the New Year by the Rune-Priests of the North, who keep the calendars of Torvaldsland.	10
4	149	As he approached the bondmaids they shrank back from him, fearing him, as would any bondmaid one of the men of Torvaldsland.	10
4	151	I recalled how disappointed she had been in the men of Torvaldsland, when, heads hanging, they had accompanied the Forkbeard to the temple at Kassau.	10
4	154	She now saw the men of Torvaldsland in their mightiness, in their freedom, and strength and power, and she, a stripped, fettered bondmaid, coffled, feared them.	10
4	172	The average ship of Torvaldsland is, by custom, bailed once a day, even if the bilge water does not necessitate it.	10
4	174	Many such ships, however, are sailed by the men of Torvaldsland, particularly late in the season, when the ship is less tight from months of the sea's buffeting.	10
4	222	The men of Torvaldsland had not sought the whales.	10
4	314	When food is low it is not unknown for the men of Torvaldsland to use a bondmaid, if one is available on the ship, for bait in such a manner.	10
4	318	It is regarded as second only to the five-lash Gorean slave whip, used also in the south, and what among the men of Torvaldsland is called the whip of the furs, in which the master, with his body, incontrovertibly teaches the girl her slavery.	10
5	34	Twice yesterday, in long games, until the Torvaldsland gulls had left the sea and returned inland, I had failed to meet the gambit.	10
5	55	"It is a name of Torvaldsland," he said.	10
5	56	"Are you not of Torvaldsland?" "No," I had told him.	10
5	66	"The men of Torvaldsland," I assured him, "are not overly popular in the south".	10
5	68	"The men of Torvaldsland," I told him, "are similarly respected in the south".	10
5	169	Their shields, like those of Torvaldsland, are circular, and of wood.	10
5	242	I had less confidence in the weights of the man of Torvaldsland.	10
6	8	Men of Torvaldsland reefed it high to the spar.	10
6	56	I surmised, as is common in Torvaldsland, most of the cattle had been driven higher into the mountains, to graze wild during the summer, to be fetched back to the shed only in the fall, with the coming of winter.	10
6	75	The Forkbeard then, to the delight of those on the bank, who cheered him, as the serpent edged into the dock, addressed himself delightedly to the oar-dance of the rover of Torvaldsland.	10
6	209	The brand used by Forkbeard is not uncommon in the north, though there is less uniformity in Torvaldsland on these matters than in the south, where the merchant caste, with its recommendations for standardization, is more powerful.	10
6	312	In Torvaldsland, fine timber is at a premium.	10
6	314	If a man of Torvaldsland must choose between his hall and his ship, it is the ship which, invariably, wins his choice.	10
6	317	It was filled with the mead of Torvaldsland, brewed from fermented honey, thick and sweet.	10
6	322	This reduces its exposure to the north wind, which is particularly important in the Torvaldsland winter.	10
6	329	Ventilation is supplied, as it is generally in Torvaldsland, by narrow holes in the roof.	10
6	368	"Why did you come to Torvaldsland?" suddenly asked Ivar Forkbeard.	10
6	397	The Kurii, of course, with which the men of Torvaldsland might have had dealings, might have been removed by as much as generations from the Kurii of the ships.	10
6	402	It was usually regarded as quite sufficient, even by the men of Torvaldsland, to drive one of the beasts out of their own district.	10
6	425	Svein Blue Tooth was the high jarl of Torvaldsland, in the sense that he was generally regarded as the most powerful.	10
6	434	"And thus," said I, "that your outlawry would remain in effect until you were apprehended or slain?" "He hoped to drive me from Torvaldsland," said Ivar.	10
6	448	Yet I admired the audacity of the man of Torvaldsland, though his act, in freeing Chenbar to act against me, had almost cost me my life last year in the northern forests.	10
6	495	Then from his chests, within the hall, he had given me a long, swirling cloak of the fur of sea sleen; a bronze-headed spear; a shield of painted wood, reinforced with bosses of iron; the shield was red in color, the bosses enameled yellow; a helmet, conical, of iron, with hanging chain, and a steel...	10
6	498	I surmised to myself that the help of the Forkbeard might, in the bleak realities of Torvaldsland, be of incalculable value.	10
6	530	She was kicking and laughing, trying to push back from her body the pressing jackets of fur of the men of Torvaldsland.	10
7	38	The ax of Torvaldsland is one of the most fearful of the weapons on Gor.	10
7	108	"Did you think in Kassau," he asked, "that you would one day be dunging the fields of one of Torvaldsland?" She said nothing to him.	10
8	140	She saw that we wore the leather and fur of Torvaldsland.	10
9	346	There was much laughter, and most from the beautiful, nude slaves of the men of Torvaldsland, hot, collared, and eager in their brawny arms.	10
9	380	I heard the movements of chain, the moans of the bondmaids in the arms of their masters, men of Torvaldsland.	10
9	424	I discarded the leather and fur of Torvaldsland.	10
9	476	He had there, in his opinion, an appointment to keep, with Svein Blue Tooth, a great Jarl of Torvaldsland, who had outlawed him.	10
10	6	He was Ketil, of Blue Tooth's high farm, champion of Torvaldsland.	10
10	33	Thorgeir, it so happened, of course, was the only man of the Ax Glacier country, which is usually taken as the northern border of Torvaldsland, before the ice belts of Gor's arctic north, who was at the Thing-Fair.	10
10	37	It is not unusual for the men of Torvaldsland to wear them, though none of Forkbeard's men did.	10
10	50	He had done less well in the singing contest, though he much prided himself on his singing voice; he thought, in that one, the judges had been against him; he did not score highly either in the composition of poetry contest nor in the rhyming games; "I am not a skald," he explained to me later; he d...	10
10	73	Blows are not to be struck at the Thing, but not even the law of the Thing, with all its might, would have the temerity to advise the man of Torvaldsland to arrive or move about unarmed.	10
10	74	The man of Torvaldsland never leaves his house unless he is armed; and, within his house, his weapons are always near at hand, usually hung on the wall behind his couch, at least a foot beyond the reach of a bondmaid whose ankle is chained.	10
10	80	A man in direct fee with the Jarl is, in effect, a mercenary; the Jarl himself, from his gold, and stores, where necessary or desirable, arms the man; this expense, of course, is seldom necessary in Torvaldsland; sometimes, however, a man may break a sword or lose an ax in battle, perhaps in the bod...	10
10	87	They wore them, always, as is common in Torvaldsland, in such a way that the right arm, the sword arm, is free.	10
10	94	Sometimes, in the south, female slaves are dressed in the robes of free women, even veiled, and taken by their masters to see tarn races, or games, or song-dramas; many assume that she, sitting regally by his side, is a companion, or being courted for the companionship; only he and she know that the...	10
10	109	The silk girl was heeling her master, a captain of Torvaldsland.	10
10	113	In the south the southern slave girl commonly regards her northern counterparts as bumpkins, dolts from the high farms on the slopes of the mountains of Torvaldsland; she thinks of them as doing little but swilling tarsk and dunging fields; she regards them as, essentially, nothing more than a form ...	10
10	142	The duel is a device by which many disputes, legal and personal, are settled in Torvaldsland.	10
10	173	"I do not care much for the making of women of Torvaldsland bond," said Ivar.	10
10	175	"They are of Torvaldsland!" "Where is the boy's father?" I asked one who stood next to me.	10
10	186	"She is of Torvaldsland," said Ivar.	10
10	315	If the thrall had been nothing in Torvaldsland before, he was now less than nothing; his status was now, in effect, that of the southern male work slave, found often in the quarries and mines, and, chained, on the great farms.	10
10	317	The Forkbeard had brought one thrall with him, the young man, Tarsk, who, even now, followed in the retinue of the Forkbeard; it was thought that if the Forkbeard should purchase a crate of sleen fur or a chest of bog iron the young man, on his shoulders, might then bear it back to our tent, pitched...	10
10	383	At her waist she wore a jeweled scabbard, protruding from which I saw the ornamented, twisted blade of a Turian dagger; free women in Torvaldsland commonly carry a knife; at her belt, too, hung her scissors, and a ring of many keys, indicating that her hall contained many chests or doors; her hair w...	10
10	576	The ship fell to four raiding vessels of Torvaldsland.	10
10	632	She was naked, except for the Torvaldsland collar of black iron on her neck, with its projecting ring, and the heavy chain padlocked about her right ankle; the chain was about a yard long; it secured her, by means of a heavy ring, to the block.	10
10	649	The gift of a female is sufficiently trivial that the honor of the Forkbeard as my host would not be in the least threatened; further, this was a desirable wench, whose cuddly slave body would be much relished by the Forkbeard and his crew; further, being trained, she would be a rare and exquisite t...	10
10	665	It was, of course, quite unusual in Torvaldsland.	10
11	45	"Men of Torvaldsland," it called, "I speak to you".	10
11	69	The men of Torvaldsland, in the assembly field, looked to one another.	10
11	90	He wore beneath his cloak yellow wool, and a great belt of glistening black, with a gold buckle, to which was attached a scabbard of oiled, black leather; in this scabbard was a sword, a sword of Torvaldsland, a long sword, with a jeweled pommel, with double guard.	10
11	107	The men of Torvaldsland seemed stunned.	10
11	151	The men of Torvaldsland looked at one another.	10
11	171	This was the staple crop in Torvaldsland.	10
11	174	"What will you pay us to cross our land?" asked one of the free men of Torvaldsland.	10
11	180	I, in this time, had come to understand that Torvaldsland stood, in effect, as a wall between the Kurii and the more southern regions of Gor.	10
11	191	I had little doubt but what the Kurii, perhaps organized by Kurii from the steel worlds, were to begin a march in Torvaldsland, which might extend, in a generation to the southern pole of Gor.	10
11	201	The Kurii, I gathered, did not wish to fight their way to more fertile lands south, but to reach them easily, thus conserving their numbers and, in effect, cutting Torvaldsland from the south.	10
11	202	There was little to be gained by fighting an action the length of Torvaldsland, and little to be lost by not doing so, which could not be later recouped when power in the south had been consolidated.	10
11	214	It was possible, of course, that the Kurii would attack Torvaldsland when well within it, without large forces marshaled against them.	10
11	242	But I did not expect men of Torvaldsland to give up female slaves.	10
11	248	The blood of the men of Torvaldsland began to rage.	10
11	272	"I shall take this to my camp," it said, "as a token of the good will of the men of Torvaldsland".	10
11	286	"Do we, free men of Torvaldsland," called out Svein Blue Tooth, "grant permission to the Kurii to traverse our land?" "No!" cried one man.	10
11	310	"In the legends, it is said that Torvald sleeps in the mountain," smiled Ivar Forkbeard, "to awaken when, once more, he is needed in Torvaldsland".	10
12	7	The men of Torvaldsland have in common a code of sound signals, given by the horns, consisting of some forty messages.	10
12	12	There are shield signals, too, however, it might be mentioned, in Torvaldsland, though these are quite limited.	10
12	13	Two that are universal in Torvaldsland are the red shield for war, the white for peace.	10
12	14	The men of Torvaldsland, hearing the blasts on the bronze horns, were silent.	10
12	31	Svein Blue Tooth was of Torvaldsland himself.	10
12	38	This was cultural in Torvaldsland.	10
13	13	The men of Torvaldsland, thus, look across the table at one another, not one down upon the other.	10
13	28	Salt, incidentally, is obtained by the men of Torvaldsland, most commonly, from sea water or from the burning of seaweed.	10
13	30	The red and yellow salts of the south, some of which I saw on the tables, are not domestic to Torvaldsland.	10
13	44	Another tapestry, showing numerous ships, in a war fleet, dated from the time of the famine in Torvaldsland, a generation ago.	10
13	96	In honor such a high jarl must set an example to the men of Torvaldsland.	10
13	108	Then Svein Blue Tooth, as high jarl in Torvaldsland, one by one, tied about the forehead of Ivar Forkbeard the six talmits.	10
13	115	"I frown upon you, and would not let you within the doors of my hall," said Svein Blue Tooth, "because you are the greatest scoundrel and rogue in Torvaldsland!" I could see that this compliment much pleased the Forkbeard, who, a vain fellow, was jealous of his reputation.	10
13	123	I knew then, surely, that he was of Torvaldsland.	10
13	143	Svein Blue Tooth, high jarl of Torvaldsland, followed by his woman, and high officers and counselors, and other followers, then took his way from the dais.	10
13	153	This is common in the halls of Torvaldsland.	10
13	164	In the far distance, the moonlight reflected from its snowy heights, I saw, too, the Torvaldsberg, in which the legendary Torvald was reputed to sleep, supposedly to waken again if needed once more in Torvaldsland.	10
13	183	"If you are washed and readied," said a young thrall, collared, in a kirtle of white wool, "it is permissible to present yourselves before the high seat of the house, before my master, Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland".	10
13	229	The girls, though collared in the manner of Torvaldsland, and serving men, were fully clothed.	10
13	237	I suspected this might have accounted somewhat for the ugliness of the men with the entertainers, not that the men of Torvaldsland, under any circumstances, constitute an easily pleased audience.	10
13	270	It is one thing to cheat one not of Torvaldsland, quite another to attempt to defraud one of one's own country, particularly one's Jarl.	10
13	276	"I did not think there were such riches in all of Torvaldsland," whispered Bera.	10
13	279	With such riches there would be no Jarl in Torvaldsland who could even remotely compare to him.	10
13	281	But the men of Torvaldsland are not easily pleased.	10
13	351	"Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland, meet Hilda, daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar," said Ivar.	10
13	352	"Hilda, daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar, meet Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland".	10
13	425	Then, to the astonishment of all Torvaldsland, and most to that of Svein Blue Tooth, the Forkbeard, redoubtable, after earning six talmits in the contests, delivered to his hall the very wergild no man had supposed it possible to pay, and had then, arrogantly, before the high seat of the Blue Tooth ...	10
14	3	The wooden shields of Torvaldsland no more stopped the great axes than dried skins of larma fruit, stretched on sewing frames, might have resisted the four-bladed dagger cestus of Anango or the hatchet gauntlet of eastern Skjern.	10
14	134	"Attack! Are you docile tarsk that you dare not attack? Men of Torvaldsland, attack!" But no man moved.	10
14	185	His garments were half torn from him but, still, about his neck, on its chain, was the tooth of the Hunjer whale, dyed blue, by which men in Torvaldsland knew him.	10
14	221	"Are you of Torvaldsland?" he asked.	10
15	66	In just the past few days we had encountered, even in far Torvaldsland, two Earth females, suitably collared, Peggy Stevens of Connecticut, Honey Cake, and the girl, Leah, of Canada.	10
15	245	The trap, laid for an enemy by a boy of Torvaldsland many years ago, was still effective.	10
16	160	The men of Torvaldsland, unlike most Gorean men, do not permit themselves tears.	10
16	191	From among the weapons at the foot of the couch, from one of the cylindrical quivers, still of the sort carried in Torvaldsland, I drew forth a long, dark arrow.	10
16	230	I am not even of Torvaldsland, but it was I who was present when the arrow of war was lifted, at the side of the couch of Torvald, deep within the living stone of the Torvaldsberg.	10
17	53	I wondered if I myself, this morning, in Torvaldsland, in bleak light, would die.	10
17	101	They had failed, several days ago, in the Thing Assembly, to intimidate the men of Torvaldsland into furnishing them provisions for their march.	10
17	105	During this time, a hundred pasangs to the south, Svein Blue Tooth had set the rallying point of the men of Torvaldsland.	10
17	252	I saw then Svein Blue Tooth, the mighty jarl of Torvaldsland, lift his own head, but it did not seem, then, to be him.	10
17	330	The thousands of the men of Torvaldsland, on either side of the valley, made ready.	10
17	337	"The men of Torvaldsland," they cried, "are upon you!".	10
18	10	Any girl found remaining in the pen by a man of Torvaldsland, seeking her own safety, unless she had been ordered there by a free attacker, was to be summarily slain.	10
18	11	I was pleased to note that the women feared more the men of Torvaldsland than even sleen and Kurii.	10
18	44	I saw the huge, little-known man of Torvaldsland, who had joined the host late, calling himself Hrolf, from the east, who had come from the direction of the Torvaldsberg.	10
18	174	Almost as one the girls, crying out, flung themselves to their bellies among the bodies and the charge of the men of Torvaldsland, missing not a step, took its way over them, striking the startled Kurii with an unimpeded impact.	10
18	378	Thyri would wear her collar well for a master such as Wulfstan, once of Kassau, now of Torvaldsland.	10
18	381	Ivar Forkbeard, followed by Tarl Red Hair and Wulfstan of Torvaldsland, heeled by the bondmaid, Hilda, picked his way toward the burned, looted tents of Thorgard of Scagnar.	10
18	578	Too, of course, the weight of such blows, particularly with the long, heavy swords of Torvaldsland, take their toll from the striking arm, as well as the fending arm.	10
18	629	Arrows of Torvaldsland found the slaughter pleasing".	10
18	632	"Several," he said, "but I think the men of Torvaldsland now need fear little the return of any Kur army".	10
18	635	They had learned, and so, too, had the men of Torvaldsland, that men could stand against them.	10
20	172	With him were Gorm, Ottar and Wulfstan of Torvaldsland.	10
21	5	The girl, in her need, pressed herself against the coarse woolen tunic of Torvaldsland.	10
21	27	She now had new tasks to which to address herself, cooking, and churning and carrying water; the improvement of her own carriage, and beauty and attractiveness; and the giving of inordinate pleasure in the furs to her master, Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland; if she did not do so, well she kne...	10
21	72	"Outlawry," said he, "once proclaimed by the hall of Blue Tooth against the person of Ivar Forkbeard, he of Forkbeard's Landfall, is herewith, in this hall, in this place, in the name of Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland, lifted!" There was a great cheer.	10
21	90	"Know this, that from this day forward, Ivar Forkbeard stands among the Jarls of Torvaldsland!" We stood and cheered the fortune, the honor, that the Blue Tooth did unto the Forkbeard.	10
22	33	"Tarl Red Hair," had said he, "with this talmit accede to Jarlship in Torvaldsland!" I had been lifted on the shields of shouting men.	10
22	38	I had lifted my hands to them, standing on the shields, a Jarl of Torvaldsland, one who might now, in his own name if need be, send forth the arrow of war, summoning adherents; one who might, as it pleased him, command ships and men; one who might now say to the rough, bold seamen of the north, as i...	10
