Boersgard - the beginning | Chapter 7 The Banner Saga Guide

The view on Boersgard

After you reach the city of Boersgard the action may go in either of the two ways. If, at an earlier stage of the journey, you have stopped in the village of Reynivik and helped Sigbjorn defeat monsters, he will join the conversation between Iver, Rook and Bolverk (the chief of the Ravens). As a result, you will be allowed into the city immediately. If you, however, stopped in the village of Reynivik and/or have not helped Sigbjorn, then Bolverk will not want to open the city gates at first and it may turn out to be necessary to fight monsters.

Wait until you are allowed into the city. Bolverk will soon go to meet up with Eyvind and, if Sigbjorn reached Boersgard with the party, he will join the abovementioned characters and you will never see him again. (as a result, he will be unavailable in the future fights). I recommend that you visit the Market and buy all the supplies that you need, which will be scarce, unfortunately. Apart from that, make sure that you promote your heroes. Finally, go to the docks and listen to another conversation between Eyvind, Rook, Alette and Iver.
