The Elder, a forsaken one of the Black Forest, haunted its boughs until the 126th day of the world. Charleif, Asbjorn, Okkrleif, Lóa, Hel, Gofraid, Kætiløy, Mikael, Rosir, Imogen, Fjällhnot, Sködir and Rakel went after it. Rosir struck the hardest blows, dealing 756 wounds before The Elder felled Rakel. The hall’s fire burned higher that night. The road onward was long.
