Hakon refuses as they are only a short way from Grofheim. Further down the road, the human survivor awakens, reveals that he is a Mender called Eyvind and implores Hakon to go back for his companion, Juno. Amassing their courage, the Varl cut through the Dredge once more, an the caravan hastily retakes its course towards Grofheim. Turning to leave, they find out that large numbers of Dredge have trapped them in Ridgehorn. On the top of the tower, they discover the bodies of two humans, one of them alive. In an impulse, Hakon changes the course of the caravan and strikes for Ridgehorn, where they find the fortress destroyed and littered with Dredge bodies. South of the Hanged Man, a small Varl party dispatched from Schlid and led by Fasolt informs Hakon's caravan that great number of Dredge are pouring out of Ridgehorn, a fortress on the west coast, north of Strand. Nevertheless, the help offered by him and his bodyguards, Yrsa and Bersi, is welcomed. His relations with Ludin are tested due to the Prince's arrogant behavior. Hakon, kendr to the late Vognir, assumes command of the Varl caravan and proceeds on the march towards Grofheim, encountering many Dredge en route. Rook has to decided whether to force their way into the city or camp outside, even as the Dredge are closing in. Arriving in Frostvellr, they are faced with another problem: The city is overcrowded by refugees and the governor has shut its gates to anyone trying to enter. The Banner along with the leadership of the caravan are soon passed on to the unwilling Rook by the Chieftain's wife, as he is unable to perform his duties. The Skogr Banner is salvaged from the Great Hall and, under it, the small caravan flees for Frostvellr, the closest walled city, swelling along the march as many people decide to join with them under the shadow of the Dredge menace. Iver, a solitary Varl and old friend of Rook, and Egil, a boy around the same age as Alette, assist in defending the village until it is decided that they have no choice but to evacuate. Fleeing with all haste, they return to Skogr and alert the Chieftain and his wife, Oddleif, to the impending attack. Rook and his young daughter, Alette, encounter a lone Dredge whilst hunting in the woods near Skogr. Choices only affect supporting characters.
