(The harbor isn't visible from the Tower of Dawn's courtyard as it is walled.)

The Companions were led down the Tower's throne room, which was located on back of the first floor, where Jarl Skuld Shield-Bearer was awaiting them.

The throne room was rather large, taking up an entire first level of the tower, but the three group of Companions and the Stormhawks had to pack together a bit to all fit into the space in front of the Jarl.

"Jarl Skuld." Captain Rolf spoke first, as the senior ranked member of the bunch. "We return from our quest."

"Rolf. I hear that Heimir and Tranin are dead." Skuld said on her throne. She wore expensive orange clothes. Her family's relic shield was displayed above her ornate wooden throne.

"They are. I am now the Captain of the Nidhoggr." Rolf replied.

"Congratulations, I suppose." She said dismissively.

"We're here for our reward." Jofrodr blurted out. He wanted to get right to the point.

Skuld frowned at him. "I am well aware, Companion. You will get your reward, hower....I am also aware that you lot let the Orcs burn down my village, Silfrisin." she retorted.

"You don't mean to hold that against us?" Helgi asked.

"Of course I will." Jarl Skuld pulled out the report from the Harbinger. "I hired you to kill the Orcs and protect my hold. You may have defeated the stronghold, but you still let them torch my lands. I must take that into account."

"Well I'll have to show you around then. It is my hometown, so I know all the good spots in the city." Elisiv said.

The convoy rode into the stables beside the city entrance and dismounted.

"We'll walk the rest of the way. The carriage can't make it up to the Winds District due to the stairs." Elisiv explained to Kal.

"Will you be staying at Jorrvaskr with us?" The Harbinger asked the female mercenary.

Skorm rode right at the nearest elf and slashed his axe at the foe.

The elf jumped back and lifted his shield, blocking the human's war axe.

There were a half-dozen Snow Elves in elegant white armor. Their attack seemed to have just started as there was only one dead farmer on the ground and a wounded fleeing housewife.

"Stay back!" Skorm told the wounded woman. "We'll protect you!"

"My husband!" She cried out, gesturing at the downed man by the elves.

He had seemingly tried to defend his home with a firewood axe, which hadn't worked out too well.

"We'll do all we can for him, just stay back!" Skorm ordered. He turned his horse around to face the group of elves. ''Fucking elves....damn them. We're outnumbered.''

Kane and Agrunac joined up with him.

"What's your plan, Skorm?" Agrunac asked.

"We drive them off." Skorm hit his horse's sides and sent it into a sprint right at the enemy. ''We're mounted, we'll use that to our advantage. ''
