Olaf's first honest work was just about to be a failure. Just about - if Cedric hadn't arrived.

When God walked among men...

Olaf met the man who was to change the course of his thoughts later in his life: God.

Olaf's story starts many years before his birth: His grandfather Gilbert Briarsson, out of pure cowardice, acts the way that he is deemed a hero by saving many lives, thanks to which he is provided a royal decree and becomes neither free not a serf. Then, fate favours him and we are just about to learn how.
