Legend tells that Tuisto, the father of the Halsteins, once had a boar by the name of Sæhrímnir who was stolen by the Northmen and butchered for a feast. The next day Sæhrímnir was reformed and attacked the Einherjar who of course thought this was great fun and slaughtered, butchered, and ate him again. This went on for nine days until Tuisto made his way to the hall of these dead and drunken ruffians and fought them all and took back his damn boar home. This little story tells us much of how the Halsteins view the Northmen.
