"Athalbrand is a man without shame," he said.

"Steinar is a viper whom I have nursed in my breast, a viper that has bitten the hand which saved him from death; aye, you men of Agger, you have a viper for your lord.
Iduna is a light-of-love upon whom all honest women should spit, who has broken her oath and sold herself for Steinar's wealth and rule.

I swear by Thor that, with your help, my friends and neighbours, I will be avenged upon all three of these.

But for such vengeance preparations must be made, since Athalbrand and Steinar are strong.

Moreover, they lie in an island, and can only be attacked by sea.
