Jordan Korg lies abed, not dead, not quite alive. In his dreams, he rides on a distant mountain. Great golden doors open in the sky. He could hear the great warriors, singing happily as only dead men truly can. He walks toward the light. The door closed before him. Shall this be his fate? Locked out of Valhalla, despite all his great deeds? He is a Sea Rover and he is Christian."
In the realm of the living, his wife, Queen Ella, goes to the oracle, and has a question with the oracle:
Oracle: What do you want?
Queen Ella: I want to know if a woman will succeed to the kingdom of Kattegat. Will a woman take the throne of Kattegat?
Oracle: you mean after the death of Jordan Korg?
Queen Ella: Yes
Oracle: Yes, I have seen it. A woman will one day rule in the Kattegat.
Queen Ella: Will it
