"Well you've seen the size of the camps when we came in last night." Helgi said. "Probably a few thousand people gathered here."

The Ylgermet crew numbered a little over a hundred Companions right now and each other crew of Companions should be of a similar size, if not larger, thought those that lost a lot of men during the fight against the Orcs were no doubt understaffed. Other than that there were the levies from the different holds. Some were more numerous than others, with the yellow banners of Hvitstrad and the blue banners of Ostmark being the largest number flying over the camps.

Jofrodr had never been to a war before so he didn't know if that was too much or too little, though he figured it was a large army. ''The Companions of old defeated the elves with only 500, right? We have a few thousand.''

Elisiv entered her tent. "Dawn has come and gone. You promised to show me around so why don't we head to the city?"

Skorm was waiting in the feast hall, where the long tables had been arranged into a U shape, with the Jarl's high seat being in the middle of the curve.

For the past few minutes it had been a constant stream of warriors entering the hall and taking whatever seat Holma pointed them too. He recognized a few faces among them. Harald's vassals: Chief Vilbaldr,	Chief Jænis, Guðbjǫrn the Younger, Húnbogi Woodham, Otto Bultaðr and	Thane Jóngeirr. They all had seats to Harald's right. There was Harald's cousin, Hjörvard Sea-King the heir of Saarthal and his entourage of a few of his father's vassals. Skorm also recognized some of the Companions present: Captain Bodvar Little-Bear, Captain Orvar Darkhammer, Captain Gunnar Battle-Born and most important of all Harbinger Randagulf Begalin. There were many others, even some mages there, but Skorm didn't know them.

A greater collection of warriors I've never seen in my life. The thane thought. Skorm's seat was right beside the high seat to Harald's right. He couldn't believe that he had received such a prestigious position, even as a thane he shouldn't be this close when there were nobles among the crowd that would deserve this seat more.
