In The Confederates the story is named after 8 avaricious chieftains who form a league among themselves, for the sole purpose of lining their pockets by unethical, if not illegal, means. Their attempt is foiled by an impecunious old farmer who, ironically, uses bribery to defeat corruption and secure his son's rights.
One of the essential themes of Hen-Thorir is epitomised in the saying 'Evil comes of evil men.' A miserly landowner refuses to sell his spare hay to others in need, and his selfishness leads to a series of bloody events, including murder, arson, treachery and battle.
