b'Though Svarfdaela Saga itself is behind us, the story of the inhabitants of the Tumultuous Valley continues. In this episode, we follow Thorleif Asgeirsson, one of Klaufi\'s killers and the brother of Yngvild.\\nAs you\'ll discover, Thorleif has that independent spirit that Icelanders carry with them into the courts of Norwegian rulers. He\'s also got a talent for poetry, which serves him well both at home and abroad. But his real talent is magic, which he learned from his uncle and father. All of this combines for some interesting encounters with Jarl H\\xe1kon Sigurdsson.\\nThis short story is both shocking and hilarious. It\'s got everything you could ask for, including a young man chasing his hopes and dreams, a robbery, some senseless violence, black magic, plenty of poetry, and even a golem-like construct with a vengeful heart.\\xa0 Oh, and it\'s pretty funny too. Needless to say, it\'s one of our favorite \\xfe\\xe6ttr.\\nJoin us as we explore the Tale of Thorleif Earl\'s Poet!\\nRichard Cole\'s "French Connection, or Thorr versus the Golem."\\nListen and then share your thoughts on our social media:\\nSagathingpodcast on Facebook\\nSagathingpodcast on Instagram\\nSagathingpodcast on Bluesky\\nSagathingpod on X (Twitter)\\nSaga Thing\\u2019s unofficial official Discord\\nMusic Credits\\nIntro Music - from \\u201cDeath Awaits\\u201d by Billy Malmstrom\\nPoetry Music - "Morgana Rides " Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\\nOutro Music - From \\u201c\\xd3\\xf0inn\\u201d by Krauka'
