Chapter 211: Himinbjörg

"Come on! Work harder!" Bjorn bellowed at the Skardians, who were carting the stone the dwarves needed. 

Harik had ordered the creation of a defensive city on the coast near the Silverfang Mountains. He wanted to ensure any invading foreign armies would have a hard time using the same mountain path that Parthus had. Bjorn squinted at the mountains where large dwarven towers had appeared. Each of them was placed so that fires could be lit to send a warning along their line of enemy ships. 

However, it was the huge commanding statue of Exile that stood at the peak of the mountains that filled Bjorn with joy. It served as a memorial of the battle against Parthus, as well as a warning. The statue seemed to look down on the city and out to sea at the same time. It sent the message that Exile was always watching over them.
