...And another Detour!
They took the Rus Trade Route huh...not through The Mediterranean. Okay, what kind of adventure could our heroes go though in the Land of The Rus around 1018-1019?

However in the first place, they have to go through the Gudrid problem...and there is no guarantee there wouldn't be more unfinished business with Canute through Denmark...
