Acquiring a Guide

Berengar stepped down from his battleship and onto the docks of the Reykjavík harbor. Where he was immediately greeted by the local population, who gazed upon the large steel vessel, and the strangely dressed men with a mixture of awe and terror. 

Even the simplest of minds would understand that with their medieval level of technology, there was no conceivable way they could harm this warship which had appeared in their harbor during the dead of night. 

Though Berengar was fluent in many tongues, he did not understand the Icelandic language. Thus, he required a translator hired from the Kalmar Union to speak with the people of this island. Which he was quick to make use of.
