After speaking with the people of Burland and venturing through the underground passage to Straithbaile in the north, Ragnar encounters the amnesiac [[Angus and Aigneas|Angus]] in the town jail. Reduced to the mental ability of a child due to a tremendous shock, Ragnar returns to Burland and brings Angus' wife [[Angus and Aigneas|Aigneas]] to return the man to his senses.
