Meanwhile, Frideswid, who served as a nun in the city's forum, was tasked to purchase and round up slaves in order to be disected and disposed at the city docks, spreading fear amongst the population.[1] In time, the sect's plan was discovered by Tryggr, who was given a letter detailing their activities by a mysterious individual known as the "Poor Fellow-Soldier of Christ".

However, he was defeated and killed by Eivor.[5]
