Along the way, they encounter a particularly impressive villain<br> named Thorolf Sledgehammer and his clowder of ornery cats.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">With the district safe from evil-doers, the<br> saga shifts to the next generation.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">This section begins with the sons of Thorstein<br> Ingimundarson, Ingolf and some other guy. <br> Ingolf Thorsteinsson is the important one. He’s the handsome Don Juan of Iceland who<br> melts hearts and enrages menfolk across the north of Iceland. Ingolf may be a<br> bit narcissistic, but he backs up his boasts with impressive feats of derring-do<br> (see picture above, and note the rock strapped to his chest).</span></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">The final generation is represented by Thorkel Scratcher,<br> who we discussed briefly in Hallfred’s Saga Troublesome-poet.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">Despite his humble origins as an illegitimate<br> son abandoned to the elements as an infant, Thorkel Scratcher rises to become<br> one of the great figures of Iceland.
