Discussing a Fellow Named Harald Forkbeard
Darby is an older man of unknown tribe in an unknown location. He has a discussion with a young man by the name of Fell. Darby tell Fell about the villain Harald Forkbeard and that Fell would do well to avoid him.

"“Harald Forkbeard? You’ve never heard of Harald Forkbeard?” The old man, who had introduced himself as Darby, gave me an incredulous look. “No,” Fell responded. “Should I?” “You should if ya know what’s good for ya!” Darby leaned back in his seat and studied him. “Look at ya, all bright-eyed and nice. That’s how he’ll get ya!” “What do you mean?” “Oh, sure, he’ll befriend ya, make ya feel like he’s a trustworthy fella. He’ll have ya believin’ that he and that little Terrible Terror of his, Leopold, are strong, upstanding Vikings. But he’s only ever looking out for himself and Leopold. He’d sell ya out if it means making a scrap of money or savin’ his own skin. He’ll side with ya when you’re winning, and then the minute it looks like the other side is gettin’ ahead, he’ll switch over to them.” Fell let out a low whistle. “He sounds like someone I don't want to cross,” he said. “And that’s just the beginning,” he grumbled. The old man leaned towards me, “You haven’t heard of Nikora Stormheart, have ya?”"
