130.21 This writing was given to me about Northland, also called Skeanland:
During the time when our lands sank down, I was in Skeanland. This is what happened there.
There were great masses that bulged forth from Earth’s surface like boils. Then they burst asunder, and from the cracks flowed a substance like glowing iron. There were mountains whose crowns collapsed and tumbled downward to decimate woods and towns. I myself witnessed one mountain [131] being torn from another and sinking straight down. When I went there afterwards to look, a lake had come into being.
When Earth had recovered, a military leader from Lindasburg came with his folk and a maiden who proclaimed everywhere that the Magy was responsible for all that we had suffered. They were constantly on the move and their host grew stronger. The Magy fled. His corpse was found. He had killed himself.
Next, the Finns were driven to a place where they were permitted to live. There were some of mixed blood, who were allowed to stay. But many went with the Finns. The military leader was elected king. The temples that had remained intact were destroyed. Ever since, the good Northmen often visit Texland to consult the mother, though we can no longer consider them true Fryas.
In the Denmarks, it was surely the same as with us. The navigators, who proudly call themselves 'sea warriors' or 'sea campaigners',[1] had boarded their ships and afterwards returned.
Hail!
