The imagery of Finland and Kvenland
The book opens with sight imagery describing the physical location and boundaries of Finland and Kvenland. The author writes, “There was a king called Fornjot who ruled over Finland and Kvenland, the countries stretching to the East of what we call the Gulf of Bothnia, which lies opposite the White Sea.”
The search for Goi (Gor’s sister)
Gor is determined to locate his lost sister, and his search is best described using sight imagery. With his brother and other relatives, they go different routes to find their lost sister. The author writes, “Gor led his ships out of the Gulf and into the Aakand Sea, exploring all of the Svia Skerries and every island in the Baltic, then on the Elfar Skerries and from there over to Denmark, searching every island. He called on his kinsmen, the descendants of Hler the old of Leso Island, then went under away again, but there was still no trace of his sister.”
The Vikings imagery
Herald Fine-Hair's sailing to destroy the Isle of Man into ruins motivated his desire to reign supreme and control a larger territory. Consequently, Heralds' sailing is described using imagery. The author writes, "These Vikings used to raid in Norway over summer, and they had Shetland and Orkney as their winter base. Harald concurred Shetland, Orkney and the Hebrides then sailed all the way to the Isle of Man where he laid its settlements in ruins.”
