Excerpt from Thorgils

Treadholt lies in the South-west country between Markfleet and Cogsound. It is all pasture thereabouts, deep and good land; but behind that, the tumble of rock begins, great rocks brought down from Eyjafell in old days; and after them the heather and peat hags mount upwards to the fells; and over the top of the fells are waste and desolate places, rent apart by crevasses and deep ghylls; and if you have heart enough to carry you on, beyond this region lie the snowslopes which will take you to the top of Eyjafell itself.

But all that was a long way from Treadholt where Thord Domne, or Timber Thord, as we should say, lived, and where Thorgils and his brother were born.
