Jarl Harrgrimmrr’s realm consists of the Islands of Bygthtun, Landoudoney, and Videy. He rules over 2,494 souls and has a fylking of 831 warriors. His long ships carry two thirds of the trade goods from Batiskakna to the kingdoms of Hardrada and the northern coast of Beorgumende. This route is less dangerous than that of Jarl Eyskjald since the islands shield the coastal waters from the worst of the storms that come out of the northwest. Jarl Harrgrimmrr still has to contend with the pirates; especially since they are more likely to sail the calmer waters of the coast.
Bygthtun is a small island with only two fishing villages on it. Their fishing boats often help foreign traders with deep draft vessels who run onto the shallow reefs.
Landoudoney is uninhabited and all are forbidden to go there. Once, when the Vagothians first settled these lands, a small fishing village was established here. Soon, the people became very ill. Healers were sent but they became ill as well. Those that returned to Videy in turn brought the foul plague with them. None were allowed to leave either Landoudoney or Videy for a month. When healers returned to Videy, they found that all had died. Videy was resettled, but nobody has ever returned to Landaudoney for fear of the plague.
Videy is the main island of Jarl Harrgrimmrr’s realm. The settlers here have done well since the plague. It is also the home to Jarl Harrgrimmr’s stronghold. The island is so close to Sutheimr that a bridge spans the 2 miles gap to connect the island to the coast. There are strongholds on either side of the bridge. These strongholds are to both protect Videy from Vigaferli invaders and to protect Vangar from the return of the plague.
Jarl Harrgrimmrr’s stronghold is called Gambrivi. Jarl Harrgrimmrr is a grumpy old man who seldom leaves his stronghold. He clings to the old ways of the vikingr when you took what you wanted. This business of trade settles poorly with his honor and he leaves these tiresome tasks to his sons.
The bridge connecting Videy to the coast is the only one of its kind known to exist in the world of Kelleemah. Many visit this bridge to simply marvel at it. The bridge is named Bruhaf. The stronghold of Eyborg sets on the island side while the stronghold of Bruborg lays on the coastal side.
