Now Shal'vor's forces soon learned about the Icelandic safehaven, and decided to crush it as a show of force. They sent a decent sized fleet, expecting to come back with news of success. Unfortunately they had miscalculated several things. Firstly, the warlord was still alive, and his gift of sight was a powerful asset. Secondly, the Icelandic Warriors knew the waters far better. Thirdly, I leaned was a haven for persecuted magic users, and Shal'vor's armies sought out and murdered magic users, believing them to be unholy, which meant they lacked magical assistance. Needless to say it was a horrific loss for the hordes, and it forced them to reconsider the idea that the takeover would be easy. In the following years they tried unsuccessfully hundreds of times to take the area, as you can see on the map.
