Here, on this wind-scarred rise,
once stood the longhouse of Gunnar Hámundarson,
wolf-hearted chieftain,
fairest of warriors,
whose fame rang from fjord to farmstead.

Many came against him—
great companies of armed men—
and still he stood,
and still they fell.
Often only a few were left alive
to bear witness
to the storm that was Gunnar.

But in the end,
betrayal reached him where no blade could:
his scheming yet beautiful wife, Hallgerður Langbrók,
denied him even a single strand of her hair
to twist into a bowstring.
For want of that bowstring,
Gunnar fought the last fight,
beneath this very sky.
and he fell where you now stand.

His grave mound rises here—
but Gunnar is not here.
His spirit drinks among heroes,
in the golden hall of the slain.

And the song that echoes over this place—
“Kala,” by Danheim—
carries the memory of the old ways
into our own.
