Relan had riden alongside Bodvar's party until they reached Vindhelm, where the Captain and his men parted from the smith and continued along the road to Yorgrim. It had taken them only two weeks to get to the city so Relan had gotten to work before the Stormhawks even reached Dagastar. He had more than enough time to make the shield and sent it on a ship to the city before they arrived there, as a merchant vessel would take about 4 days to reach Dagastar from Vindhelm.

Relan could rent some workspace in the city to do his smithing work. There was avaliable space in the Stone Quarter's markets. He might even be able to convince one of the city smiths to loan him their forges.

"Oh, then this must be quite the departure. Østmark is all forests and tundras, while Hvitstrad is nothing but plains and farmlands." Elisiv noted.

Their convoy rode through the drawbridge of the second gatehouse and then up the hill to the third gatehouse. That gatehouse was the only one that was closed. Guards were stationed outside and they called to the group as they approached. "Halt, state your...ah, Harbinger."

Randagulf peaked up from the back of the carriage. "Greetings, Mikel."

The guard said. "I heard that you left to fight some Orcs."

"We did and we were victorious. The Companions never fail a quest." Randagulf replied.

The guard's eyes sparked with enthusiasm. "Oh, you'll have to tell me about it over some mead."

Randagulf chuckled. "I could use some fresh mead. We'll grab a few mugs together this week."

The guard nodded. "Certainly, sir." He turned up to the gatehouse and yelled. "Open the gates! The Harbinger has returned!"

The Companion convoy rode into the walled city district.

The guard raised a hand for them to wait as he went to confirm that information with one of the Companion leaders.

When the Jorrvaskr envoy confirmed that the two Stormhawks did fight alongside them, the Dagastar guards let them into the tower courtyard.

"Wait alongside your comrades then." The guard told the duo.

Dagastar was located in a tundra climate so even as the snows of winter were lessened as it came to an end, the cold winds of the tundra never went away.

"Do you think they will try to cheat us?" Jofrodr asked Helgi. He was quite concerned about his reward.

"I have never met this Jarl Skuld, but I doubt she would dare to anger the Companions. If combined, we are a military force strong enough to overpower any hold's guards." Helgi replied.

After a few minutes, Jafnhárr came back out and said. "Please, follow me. Jarl Skuld wishes to present your reward personally for your work in protecting her people."

"Finally." Jof muttered with an irritated sigh.

The Companions headed into the Tower after the steward.

Kane rushed into the clearing of the hamlet only a few moments after Skorm. By then, Skorm had already ridden into battle with his waraxe drawn.

"Who are those?!" Kane asked Agrunac. As a Cyrodiilic, he had never seen that armor before. Though one thing looked clear. The elegant design of the white-black armor was very elvish.

"Snow Elves." Agrunac replied, having ridden beside Styrson. He drew his steel sword. "Come on, Styrson. We need to help Skorm. If the elves have mages among them he will be defenseless against their spells."

Agrunac was the first to follow Skorm into battle, with Kane drawing his sword and snapping the reigns of his mount seconds later.
