Warning
Be sure to do all you can to avoid the fire. Once you’re exposed it will burn for a few seconds, and will likely kill
you without the use of a ration. If you do catch fire, quickly perform a roll to put it out.
The first two supplies you’ll find immediately to the east and west of the shoreline, located either side of the first
house that you encounter between them. You’ll find another stack of supplies directly behind this house, and then
some more at the back of the settlement, to the southwest. The last stack is directly in front of the southernmost cen-
tral building at the back of Nottfall. When all the supplies are destroyed, the arrival of some ships will be noted to
the north.
Before you go to the docks to meet the ships, take some time to loot Nottfall. You’ll find a treasure chest in the first
central house that you reach from the shore, and another in the house immediately southeast of that. This second
house won’t have any open doors, so you’ll need to enter from the open window as you approach from the northeast.
If you have any trouble finding the treasure, just use Odin’s Vision to highlight it.

(1 of 5) Use the window from the northeast to enter the second house.

With both chests looted, make your way southeast to where you destroyed the second to last supply stack. Here
you’ll notice an entranceway leading into a small cave, at the end of which you’ll find a barricade. Jump over the
walls either side of the door and collect the Book of Knowledge to receive the melee ability: Throwing Axe Fury.
Equip the ability from your inventory and then make your way to the docks to meet the new arrivals.
When you reach the docks a cutscene will follow, during which you’ll be introduced to Harald Fairhair, the legen-
dary (and possibly mythical) first king of Norway. Go through the motions of the dialogue (it doesn’t matter which
you choose, the outcome will be the same), at the end of which the quest will complete.

Trivia
Although the existence of Harald Fairhair as a genuine historical figure is debatable, it is generally accepted that
Norway became a (relatively) unified kingdom in c. 872 CE. If Harald really was the first king of Norway, this
would make him only 22 years old at the time.
