However, one day the village is destroyed by a Viking attack and Einar’s life changes completely, thus starting a new age of war and rage. Einar is ordered by Ketil, to work with Thorfinn to exploit a vast forest.

When one of the guests, raises his sword at Thorfinn, the leader of the guests, the “Snake”, appears and rules the place.
