» Tue Feb 18, 2014 4:11 pm I was reading through "The Five Hundred Mighty Companions" and noticed something I had never noticed before. I saw this passage and thought it was interesting:
"By tradition, the Boat-Thanes were allowed to race for the vanguard of their High King, and Morgan the Red and his longboat Drumbeater took the foremost before crashing into the hazards of the Broken Cape in 1E68, no souls aboard surviving except for Olaf the Dog, a berserker who had been to Hsaarik’s Head a thousand times or more and knew leaping magic. He jumped from the wreckage all the way to Skyrim, landing on Olaf’s bridge. He was burnt there for his cheating by the students of Haafingar, which now happens every year"
In my sleep deprived state, it seems to me to be similar in nature to the Burning of King Olaf, which the Bards College does annually as well. During the quest where you have to retrieve King Olaf's Verse, one of the parts of the story that the PC can make up says that Olaf was Numinex.
If Olaf One-Eye and Olaf the Dog are the same person, and if Olaf One-Eye is a dragon, then it would make sense how he was able to jump from the wreckage all the way to Skyrim. It's because he flew.
Just thought I'd fling this at the wall of the lore forum to see if it would stick.
