They didn't make much sense of most of the book but found out that the localisation of the island where that vase could be used was only in the memory of a human transformed into a stone statue and kept in the appartement of an elf in the elven city of Abalonne.Meanwhile, one of the characters met his elder brother who explained to him that he was going to fight for Abalonne, as money was short. The characters decided that their best option was to travel to Abalonne and join the elves in their battles againt the Northmen (pseudo-vikings). They knew that they would cross blades with their friend, the paladin Svana who had decided to leave a few weeks ago to join her people against the elves.In Abalonne, the characters were well received buy the Grand Duke, who promptly took the Treaty on Things of the East but promised to offer them help. He insisted that the characters participate in the defense of the city.One character and the sidekick of another character chose to help defend the (small) western gate of the city. They were facing a small group of  Northwomen leaded by Svana. The character decided to go easy on Svana but had no pity against her crew. The Northwomen managed to bust the gate, but were quickly cornered.The other characters join in the defense of the port, where the big Northmen fleet was. Things did not go well for the Northmen, who were losing much warriors, especially when one jarl and his followers turned tail (only to be quickly killed by a warboat that was invisible).It looked like a landslide elven victory, until the characters heard a huge rumbling, than another. About thirty frost giants attacked the elven city, reducing several building in rubbles. The chaos caused by their attack and the elves' need to divert troops to fight these newcomers let the Northmen regain their momentum. The city was soon engulfed in chaos, as three factions were fighting (or fleeing) each other.</blockquote>
