He'd probably just stay at ours...his farming skills are not up to solo farming. But yes, he'd of course be welcome to stay. I think he may feel obligated to go home, though.

Then we should talk again with him, before he makes a choice he will regret later.
Maybe we should also try to play matchmaker for him, i am sure the Valley is full of ladies who would want a piece of the brooding and misterious foreigner with an heart of gold.

He left after the Trollmen Attack happened

Of course there's the problem that he's limited in cultivation and culture if he stays. Like, he's very Not Norse, you know? He gets more sympathy from the vikings than from his own country, but that doesn't change who his own sympathies are with.

Did he do anything at all during the Trollmen attack?

I don't think we need to specify that. We aren't forcing him to come on this trip, he's clearly welcome to stay with us.
There's a lifespan issue with him becoming involved with a Norse cultivator. He'll be alive hundreds of years from now barring violence and they will not. Plus having the woman you're in love with try to set you up is, uh, awkward.
That's certainly an issue, but on the other hand, his life span is, conservatively, 10 times a normal human one. Him spending the next 24 years among the Norse (for a total of 30) is, as a portion of his life, the equivalent of spending about 3 years for a real person.
He was in the valley but not actually on the farm during it.

But where did he go? Is he just wandering Norway now preaching to the heathens?

Not to mention, getting distance from Halla might be good for Gabriel's heart.
Like, while I'd vote for including Gabriel in the family, I don't think that's likely to happen.
Some distance, and a chance to find a love interest that will love him back should be good for Gabriel.

I have no idea if someone has made this comment before, but doesn't that make Gabriel the (tolkien-esque) Elf among humans?

Tragically, I think both Abjorn and Gabriel would have cultural hangups preventing this. Plus the previously mentioned lifespan issue, of course.

Tragically indeed.
As you said maybe he feels like its his duty to return to Wessex, so we should remember him that if he wants he is always welcome to return.
Maye his wife will convert, or maybe they will simply tresure their time togheter and move on. Who knows.
But you are right, it would be pretty awkward try and play matchmaker for Gabriel.
I suppose if we want to see him again, we can just set up a trade deal with his family. They give us Blessed Coal we give them something else in return. So we can keep meeting Gabriel as friends and allies.
I at least want Halla to taste the Blessed Coal once.

No, women can be cultivators, just not Knights. They can still be Nobles or presumably pursue Clerical cultivation as Nuns. At least, from what we've seen and heard.
At some point during the trip if it seems needed, sure.

It may interact very positively with Stoker State.
Nuns can't marry anybody.
Unfortunate, i was already planning to turn Halla in a Harem Protagonist.

Right. But neither can Priests and Nobles sure can. I actually did a whole post talking about how this meant a majority of Nobles were likely women since all the Knights wives and daughters were Nobles as well as all the male Nobles and their wives and daughters.
Technically, everyone (including society) would probably be fine if she and Abjorn shared a girlfriend. She'd officially be Abjorn's concubine, but people would be fine with it. I'm...dubious this is gonna happen, but it technically could.

Being pursued by tons of people, ignoring it, then ending up monogamous with First Girl (or First Boy in our case) is very traditional for harem protagonists.
So, how many people are actualy in love with Halla?
We have: Abjorn, Stigr, Gabriel, that guy from the wolf hunt who flirted with her (don't know if he counts), maybe that boy who tried to kiss her when they were babies (Svenn right?).

So you're saying Gabriel needs some stripey socks and a crop-top?

The people from the Wolf Hunt don't count, but Folkmarr was also interested at one point.
And a willingness to wear them and date Abjorn. None of which he possesses.
I don't know, i think she would need the even better version of that trait to compare to Hellen of Troy. Something like Beautiful trait level 3.

There was also the Troll. And Tryggr was interested before he found out we were married.
