"Aye lad," Arngeirr said, "I remember the wiseman fondly.  His name was Balder Sigurorson, an old gentleman from my village."<br/><br/>The hugeman pondered Korsarro's suggestion.  "I believe, however, that Balder told me all he knew.  And the Hugelands are far away from here.  A journey from our home is perilous, as I told you all before.  Balder would be risking his life to leave his home, especially at his age.  I fear he would die before he ever reached the Forbidden Temple."<br/><br/>"I fear," he continues, "That the only course of action would be to see what these sashes do when one is exposed to them.  As a gentleman, I should rightly volunteer for such a huge task.  And as my father's son, it would be wrong of me to allow any other to take on this huge risk."
