- Jarl Godbrandur: In the beginning of time, the Æsir made the world and lit the fire of life. Then they hammered man and woman so the clans could grow. Stronger than the sinews of bears is the bloodbond that now binds you.
- King Olafur: Godbrandur says our god is invisible, but he will soon come to us! Your god is but a trunk of wood, blind and deaf!
- Jarl Godbrandur: My daughter is of Odin's kin, from the time when he visited Norway! Odin will avenge this!
- King Olafur: That lump of wood will avenge nothing.
