EventAcross the pillars
The Northern Kingdom Found
The country the legend described is real, and the column has reached it. Beyond the second great lake, in the country the Innu call only the cold land, there is a settlement of perhaps three thousand fair-skinned people in long fur cloaks, speaking a language no member of the column has heard before but with words the Latinist on the staff identifies as Old Norse. They have a council-house roofed in copper and a small ceremonial chamber in which gold-work of obvious northern European workmanship is displayed. They have known of our arrival on the coast for two generations and have been waiting for us to find them. The chronicler writes through the night. Target Leader sends for reinforcements at dawn.

historical_info = seven_cities_saguenay.3.historical_info The legend of a surviving Norse population in the Canadian interior has never been substantiated, despite occasional claims to the contrary. The Norse settlements in Greenland were abandoned in the fifteenth century; no archaeological evidence supports any Norse continuity into mainland North America beyond brief contacts a century or two earlier. The persistence of the legend in French exploration of the country is best explained as a transplanted version of the Norumbega and Vinland stories, which themselves descended from a single set of medieval Icelandic sagas whose actual geography had been forgotten by the time the legend reached the French court.
