Elíasar saga, part 3, LotRiPS WiP

Title: Elíasar saga, or 'The Saga of Elijah', Chapter 3/?
Author: sarka
Rating: This chapter R, for mentions of violence and character death. And also a kiss.
Pairings: Nothing yet, but will develop into Orlijah.
Warning: Character death in this chapter. Two, actually, though one of them is relatively insignificant. No gory details, so don't worry about that, and it's not a main character.
Disclaime: If they were mine, they'd wear eyeliner at all times.

Summary: A viking AU. Elijah is the Lord of a homestead in newly pioneered Iceland around 900 AD, when his uncle comes home from a voyage bringing treasure, spices and exotic slaves.
Notes: Authors notes are made as they are required, through very interactive footnotes that were a pain to code. A link will take you to the note elsewhere in the document, and a link there will return you to what you were reading.

Author's note: I apologize most profusely for the long, long wait for this chapter. I got distracted by several things, including an exchange student program in a different country. I've had a new, more thorough beta for the entire thing, so the first two chapters have been minimally updated as well. Eternal love goes to salixbabylon, for the aforementioned help. Now, I hope you like it; you've waited long enough!

Also, note that my story is eligible in the WiP category for the slashy_oscars... /self-pimp.
