The Island Atheist

While exploring the extinct volcano known as Snidhall Isle, you may hear shouts near a small shack. Investigate and watch a warrior sprint towards a balding man with little to protect himself with. Step in. You can:

• Watch or help the warrior cut down the man, after which you’re shooed away and the quest concludes.
• Stop the warrior by challenging him to combat. Afterward, speak to the man you saved. He is Ivar, and the warrior’s sister ran off with him rather than serve the Goddess Freya. Ivar doesn’t believe in “that rubbish about the gods” and desperately wants to reunite with Irma. To do that, he needs evidence to show the priestesses; about the holes in the principles of religion. Agree to find any texts that may aid his cause, and be on your way.
