In the snow-covered lands, the transportation of choice is the dog sledge, and so good dogs are prized by all the tribes.
Bjorn Sigurdson is the eldest son of the chief of the Sigurdson tribe. He is, at 23, already a fierce warrior.
Wulf Sigurdson is his younger brother, and more of a hunter than Bjorn. He is 20.
They were on an extensive hunt when they lost their way and, after two weeks in the wilderness, found some Fromgard tribesmen that gave them food and two men to guide them a bit on in return for almost all possessions of the two Sigurdson men.
Then, they were trapped by the Rathgar tribe: The four men were captured in large nets that the Rathgars threw over them.
Now, the two Fromgards and the two Sigurdsons are tied up in a tent awaiting their fate.
