Olaf Haroldson The leader of our merry band is
Jarl Olaf Haroldson. Dahrg de Belne centres on his far-famed and
highly profitable cloth and clothing business. Like any prosperous

Lady
Ragnhild Sigmundsdottir Jarl Olaf's wife is Lady Ragnhild
Sigmundsdottir. She runs the business while Olaf is away fighting
or on the occasional sea voyage. She is responsible for the day to day
running of the settlement, and this is signified by the great bunch of
keys she carries hanging by a chain from her belt. She is a
skilled weaver and embroiderer and an expert in dying and spinning
textiles. She also swings a mean battle skillet...

Haroldsson, and like most teenage girls is something of a
handful... She is a talented musician and singer, and has also
inherited her mother's expertise with the battle skillet!

Jarl Olaf's trade goods around the British coast, to Iceland and to the

share of fighting - and the occasional bit of piracy, just to keep in
practice.... Thorfinn is a Norse pagan.

skilled leatherworker - he has undertaken many commissions for the

Lady after leaving his home city of Jorvik in a hurry...
