Plot
Hordaland was first seen at Gorm's house, where he asked her to bring out the good german wine, but she was spacing out, so he told her again. Askeladd found her name strange, sounding like a place in Norway, and Gorm explained that he was from that area and family of some lord, but they lost a war and the family went to ruin, and he was able to buy her this year.

Later that night at a feast, Hordaland dropped some food on the floor, which angered Gorm and he started beating her with a whip, demanding if she knew how much food cost. She was later ordered to bring dinner to Thorfinn, who had chosen to remain on ship guard duty. When she tried to wake him, he mistook her for an enemy at first, causing her to drop his food. As he ate, she asked him if he is a thrall too, since they seemed alike, but Thorfinn told her he was a free warrior and that if he was in her position, he would have killed Gorm and fled. She though idea awful and wondered that if she were to run, where would have she go to, questioning if there is a place without slaves.
