You board a knörr named the Elliði out of Stavanger, Norway bound for Þorlákshöfn, Snæland. Her boards are packed to the gills with various sorts of goods and supplies. She is also carryng various animals, most tied to the deck rail: (2) Sheep, (1) Goat, (3) Chickens in a crate, and (1) Norwegian Buhund. Some of you board her to travel abroad, some seeking adventure, and some running from one thing or another. Your sea legs are well established when you enter Port Þorlákshöfn 14 days and 8 hours later, stopping only briefly at Torshavn in the Færøerne islands.
The knörr begins to disembark and her captain, Ásmundr Ingolfsson, moves to the bow and begins to shout at his crew pointing here and there with a serious air of intent, “Stow seglið og losa farm ! Ég hef grot af öli til pund mér piltar. Göngunni til nú. The crew quickly get to business apparently not willing to incur whatever wrath the good captain might set upon them.
Several rough looking sea dogs shuttle you off the Elliði without delay and set to their given tasks. Your legs refuse to accept the rigid unmoving nature of terra firma and threaten to topple you like a wee child. You soon find your footing though and manage to move along the dock.
A rough and thoroughly worn sign rests on a rickety wooden pole in the center of the dock.
Further up along the dock and set off to the right side on dry higher ground is a small Turf hut with a wide wood-framed entryway. A double-wide wooden door stands ajar giving view of a dimly lit interior.Notice: (in common tongue)
Avery an’ all, be you a man, be you godt’fearin’, press yer firmness agin yond hut and announce yer trade.
