		Although Thorvald was killed in this battle, he turns up in later stories, one indication that the sagas are far from reliable historical documents.

		Although Bob wasn't much of a Viking warrior like Thorvald (heck, he wasn't much of anything since he was so short), they were good friends and enjoyed each other's company.
		There was a sign nearby that read "LEIF ERIKSSON WAS HERE." The place was completely uninhabited except for a village of natives in the distance.....and Thorvald and Bob WERE NOT going to take their chances.

		The Christian King of Norway, determined to eliminate the Ancestral Troth from Norway, causes Thorvald, a 'Heathen' to be banished after a killing which is deemed to be a murder.

		The main theme of the novel is the foreseen victory of Christianity that comes together with an establishment of royal authority, that both have no tolerance of the religion of their ancestors.
