The range south of Iskjerne Bay...
A few days after Jól, some of the Norse settlers from Iskjerne Bay would set out on their own adventures. A few of them went over the hills into the eastern mountain range, while several families decided to sail west into the North Ellarian Gulf and into the Empyrian High Seas where the Göthic prince Úlfric Ellrulfsson and his leidang of Úlfhéðnar had ventured long before them on the Ormbátur, a famous dragon-headed longship which disappeared into those very same bluegreen waves. King Sigurd had killed Prince Úlfric's father Ellrulf Trygvirsson after being wounded by him during the Battle of Bravellir, when King Ellrulf was already very old. Now that Sigurd Hring was the King of the Geats, he would saction one of his own longships to explore the islands again, hoping for better luck than the kings before him. He sent a familar vessel into the high seas, the Nuörmbátur and its familar crew of vikings. Furdørn Ivansson, Engöll Corysson, Stryder Alvirsson, and the new earl, Hethel Svensson, all of whom had previously served Prince Úlfric and Jarl Hürgor the Archer during their victory against the Argosians, and who now served the House of Munso following Sigurd's victory over the previously reigning House of Ellrulf, were now heading back into open waters once again.
Prince Hrollaug would lead his own small party of Norse explorers on horseback down through the southern range of the Weargtooth Mountains, looking for other suitable lands to explore and settle. This mountain range was difficult to navigate, being full of narrow passages and steep rocks. But after a week or so, Prince Hrollaug's band reached the highest peak and peered out over the entire Gaian continent of Ellaria, catching a glimpse of the new world in all of its splendor and beauty. Winter Solstice had ended and now that the weather was getting warmer, Hrollaug gazed up towards the vast blue sky only to see something like a parahelion. There in the sky above were 3 suns, something that Hrollaug was not a stranger too. "Sun Dogs" he said, pointing up at the three suns as the horsemen continued on, descending down the mountain into Kadota Peaks through a rainbow waterfall and towards the Ellarian Empyrian Coast.
