Jofrodr returned her a smile.

He wasn't a strong believer in the afterlife in Sovngarde, having been raised under a different religion on Solstheim, but he understood the pious nature of the mainlanders when it came to these things.

The Harbinger's warband labored for several days on end on the longboats, cutting down trees, stripping them of bark and crafting them into the hull of several longboats. They were Karvi, small longships made for crews of around 30 men each.

Jarl Hildr's men at the tower fort of Nilheim assisted them with the construction, as it took heavy manual labor.

"Maybe not against human archers, but these are trained Paladins of Auriel. Their feeble shields won't protect them against our arrows." Nesiro stated.

The elven archers were at attention on the battlements, keeping an eye on the treeline for the inevitable human attack.

Gauldur approached the Jarl, who was crouching in the undergrowth of the trees as he studied the elven fortress from a safe distance.

"Jarl." Gauldur called to him.

Harald looked back at the old mage. "Good, you're here. I have need of your skills."

He explained his plan to the Arch-Mage in detail.

"That will require quite a bit of coordination." Gauldur noted as he reflected on the plan. "It will be difficult to pull off effectively."

"But can it be done?" Harald asked.

Gauldur nodded. "All our mages are trained in basics of defensive magic. I will inform them of the plan and have them form up behind your shieldwall when the time comes."

"This damned waiting is killing me!" Jarl Ivar complained loudly at his position in the right flank. "When is that brat going to call the attack?"

Thane Egil mostly ignored his cousin's complaining. Jarl Ivar wasn't a brash individual, well not entirely brash. He knew when to think and went to fight, having done plenty of both in his time as Jarl of Hvitstrad. ''He's just uneasy with a unbloodied boy leading the vanguard. It isn't a position normally given to someone so wet behind the ears.'' The thane figured.
