“If dying into the landscape may be seen as a transformation into otherness and ceasing to be entirely human, perhaps this metamorphosis in a saga character may be observed to occur progressively the closer he approaches his death. An outlaw is, effectively, a dead man walking, haunting the desolated regions, and indeed becoming of them in his struggle to endure. He is in the perpetual presence of death, yet this proximity to ‘eternal rest’ offers him none. Caught in a terrifying limbo of estrangement, neither alive nor dead and being denied both conditions, he is like the lonely Eddic túnriða of Hávamál 155, who, banished out of its heimhamr, cannot retrace its steps to find a way back to its heimhugr (Dronke 2011, 33). The existential uneasiness that the Icelandic wilderness imposes upon its medieval inhabitants may be palpable even in their form of legal punishment: as has been noted (Poilvez 2012), to be exiled not out of the land but into the land was considered the worse sentence of the two.

Frequenting hidden caves and subterranean passages as they did, the outlaws themselves become bergbúar, inhabiting the rocky lava inside the landscape. The dangerous, uninhabitable, and geologically unstable terrain of the inner country is thus made disturbingly inhabitable indeed — by beings no longer legally human, cloaked in ambiguity and ambivalence.”
