Vinland, also known as Saint Brendan's land, is the area of coastal North America, near what is now Turin, New York, explored by Norse Vikings during the Middle Ages. Leif Ericson first landed there in around 1000 CE and is commonly accepted to be the first European to set foot on the continent.[1]
However, centuries prior to Ericson's arrival, Vinland was visited by Brendan of Clonfert, a Celtic monk from Ireland. He believed he was undertaking his God's will in his pilgrimage from Norway, but in fact was being compelled by the legacy of Aita to access the Grand Temple and free the captive Juno, though he ultimately failed to unlock its entrance.[2]
About a century before Ericson's landing, the Order of the Ancients mounted an expedition to the area chasing Isu secrets but their efforts were undone by Eivor Varinsdottir, who later explored the region and met the Iroquois people living in Karonhiakèn:iate' and around the forest of Kahrhakén:rat.[2]
