	In 872, on the request of Styrbjorn, Harald and his uncle traveled to [[Nottfall]], one of Kjotve's camps that had been raided by Styrbjorn's children [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] and [[Sigurd Styrbjornson]].

	Circa 889, Harald was planning an expedition to [[Iceland]] to support his friend [[Ingólfr Arnarson]] through the harsh winters, when he received word that Eivor, by now ''jarlskona'' of the Raven Clan in England, would come to visit for three weeks. Not long after receiving the news, Harald was surprised when Eivor and Sigurd arrived at his longhouse while he, Guthorm, and his advisors studied a map, but nonetheless welcomed them as friends.

	While Sigurd was excited by the prospect, Eivor declined, explaining that she had only come to Norway to bid farewell to her friends, as she intended to leave England and travel further west past Iceland. She then said that she would like to spend the day in the company of those she loved, telling stories from [[Isu Era\|long ago]], with both Sigurd and Harald understanding what she was referring to. Realizing that the company around him would think the resulting discussion to be madness, Harald awkwardly dismissed them with a laugh and spent the night sharing stories with Eivor and Sigurd from their mutual distant pasts while drinking [[mead]] and eating roasted [[whale]].<ref name="~~FarewellFairhair~~" />		While Sigurd was excited by the prospect, Eivor declined, explaining that she had only come to Norway to bid farewell to her friends, as she intended to leave England and travel further west past Iceland.
