Clues to the Land of Fables
No Expiration
Stockholm Adventurer's Guild
We have another request from the same requester for further research into Vikings travels. The job is to confirm the path the saga claims they took to Vinland and find some clue as to where it was.
Now that we know the location of World's End, we're very close to confirming the path to Vinland.

[IMG:01] 1. From Another Point of View
The Viking who found Vinland was one of Eric the Red's children. His adventures are also recorded. You might go and see if Olga has that record as well. Perhaps you can find a clue by seeing it from another point of view.
[IMG:01] 2. The Later Sagas
He's probably talking about the saga that was written based on the saga of Eric the Red. But there was a reason that they reused the old stories.
And that is that what Eric the Red did, could never be done again.
[IMG:01] 3. Aspirations
This saga adds fantastical elements to the travels of Eric the Red, making it larger than life. It shows the difficulty of what Eric did, something that even after time passed and technology advanced, was something none could repeat. Or just maybe, his adventures were a fairy-tale to begin with.
[IMG:01] 4. Recognizing Vinland
Both sagas share one point in common. Both speak of the ships losing their way after being blown off course by a storm when relocating to World's End and ending up in Vinland. If we study the currents, climate, wind direction and all of that around World's End, we may be able to pinpoint Vinland's location.
[IMG:01] 5. For Those Who Can't Achieve Their Dreams
Lately, I can't help but think that the sagas are written as "Dream". It's not the explorers themselves that wrote their tales, but those who wanted to see them as heroes or idols. In other words, the sagas were written by dreamers, not doers and is a record of wishes not facts.
[IMG:01] 6. If the Sagas are Dreams
We storytellers are the same. We tell the stories of unachievable dreams as if they were our own.
And if these sagas were written by those who were simply trying to share their unrequited dreams with whoever would listen, then Vinland may not exist.
[IMG:06] 7. Searching for Clues
A saga was written based on the saga of Eric the Red. According to Olga, the reason they rewrote the story of Eric was because the travels of Eric were something that, even with more modern knowledge, no one has been able to duplicate. To find the truth and find the place, we will find that other saga. It should be near here.

Saga of the Greenlanders ★★★★ (Treasure) Exp:780 Fame:324
A tale of Erik's entry and life on Greenland, as well as that of his children. Includes the tale of Thorfinn's western explorations. Part of it seems to be based on the Saga of Erik the Red. But unlike the former tale, this one seems to be slightly exaggerated.
