The first day was a hardship, with wind and wave working against them, and they clawed their way up the coast as best they could. That night was harder and all hands were woken twice to man the oars - once to avoid being blown into a rocky reef and once to gain sea-room when the northern shore loomed in the darkness. By the following midday, it was decided to spend that night on the island of Ice Peak.The frozen island southeast of the Sea of Moving Ice was named for the snow-capped promontory that dominated its northern half. Most of its inhabitants lived in a few settlements clustered around the twin bays on the southern shore. One of those settlements was home to a member of the crew, a short broad northman named Tharfin. He promised, in his usual friendly manner, that his townsfolk would serve them a feast. He did not lie.Typical of the settlements on Ice Peak, the main street of Bjorn's Hold was paved with logs laid side by side, and its buildings were low wooden structures with pitched roofs covered in sod. An enormous longhouse was the town hall at the top of the winding road, and the town chief Teffan Bjornsen had two large mountain goats put on a spit and offered wine and beer in exchange for their story.</blockquote>
