Summary of Events:
Chapter 19:
Thårijn was working on forming armour and talking with Äthelröd about how exactly he'd gotten injured. Æliyäu then, after visiting Helännä, went to visit Thårijn and they got into a rather heated argument, with Thårijn even threatening Æliyäu with his sword.
Chapter 20:
Thårijn came upon his half brother Geøg on his way home from working and found out about Øbjen being concussed, and found out that everyone believed it to be Thårijn's fault, but it had happened on the day of Thårijn's falling off of Græshädå, and Thårijn had no memory of it, but then Æliyau told them he had been involved in the altercation in which Øbjen had been concussed. After getting home Æliyäu went to his dad's library and was looking at a scroll of art and discovered it was a map of Kænjiøs as it had been at its peak.

Excerpt of the Day:
""Brothers, what is this argument?" Bæjern's voice, sounding as if he were a father coming upon sons arguing, asked.
Both Thårijn and Øvin looked at Bæjern.
"Have you gone mad!?" Øvin exclaimed. "We are not brothers!"
"That is not what I meant," Bæjern replied. "You are both my brothers, whether it be in full or half blood."
Øvin exhaled angrily, but said nothing. Thårijn was tempted to smile at his half brother's mistake, but he restrained himself.
"Øvin, Geøg, Götrude, and our father Øbjen — among others I'm sure — claim that I accosted our father and rendered him nigh bedridden for many weeks," Thårijn replied to Bæjern's question. "And they say I did it with this armour I forged and just finished this day on the day that I fell from Græshädå — before I'd begun to construct this."
"It was not Thårijn," Bæjern said. "He was unconscious, weakened by his injuries. I sat at his side and watched the doctor treat his wounds. Father injured himself in an argument with Æliyäu, son of Pætter."
"And why did you provoke my father?" Øvin asked.
Thårijn turned and saw Æliyäu — in white as usual — standing in the doorway looking at them.
"I tried to show Øbjen that he and Thårijn have a great likeness," Æliyäu replied. "But Øbjen got into a state of agitation, and he attacked me, even throwing me down onto Thårijn's legs as the doctor worked on him, but I got myself to my feet and Øbjen in his rage threw back his head and his forehead made contact with my collarbone."
Æliyäu raised up his hand and pulled back the collar of his tunic to reveal a still-fading bruise on his right collarbone.
"I believe he underestimated the difference in our eight," Æliyäu said.
"Yes," Bæjern said. "Our father was in a fit of rage, and like many times before he injured himself whilst in it. However, because of his age and the nature of his injury it has become a more severe injury than many of those he has incurred in other rages."
Thårijn looked at Æliyäu and suddenly recalled the bruises he'd seen on Æliyäu's face on the day that Æliyäu had come to visit him while he had been recovering, those had been from the hands of his father. His father must have been quite enraged.
Suddenly Thårijn was off balance and completely without ability to right himself, a hand caught him and Thårijn got back to his feet, nodding his appreciation to Bæjern — who had helped him up.
Øvin was gone, Thårijn heard the sound of a door slamming."
