Two centuries after the outlaw Erik the Red had misnamed this treeless ice-covered island "Greenland", ten emaciated Norsemen clambered out of a rowboat and onto the pack ice. The clubsmen expected to harvest the first available meat of the year, but instead they found only a volley of Thule arrows. The Skrælings (the Thule and Tunit tribes) have superior numbers and Arctic survival skills. And if the Thule kill off the Norse and Tunit, they will rule Greenland alone.
