Music/Arrangement/Production/Vocals/Lyrics by Achazia

In the freezing Norwegian winter of 1581, the plague claims the lives of seventeen-year-old Silje Arngrimsdotter's entire family. Homeless, starving, and caring for two newly orphaned infants she names Sol and Dag, she heads desperately toward the blazing funeral pyres beyond the city gates of corpse-littered Trondheim.

There, she discovers a young man being tortured by the Bailiff’s men. In the shadowy forest, she encounters a mysterious and captivating stranger named Tengel. He asks for her help to save the young man, Niels Stierne, whom the Bailiff’s men falsely accuse of being Heming, the infamous Bailiff-killer. Together, they devise a plan and successfully rescue Niels from his tormentors.

In return, Tengel promises to ensure the safety of the two children. He leads Silje to a farm owned by Benedikt, a painter, where she finds refuge.
