==History==
Although Hailin was not physically present in Lambholt during the investigation of the murders caused by Old Stickfingers, Hailin as Vadrik's husband had a subtle but significant impact on the story, influencing Vadrik's motivations and actions throughout the narrative.
Vadrik undertook the journey to Lambholt largely because of his connection to Hailin. The call for help came from Hailin's birthplace, making the mission personal for Vadrik. Hailin encouraged Vadrik to take on the adventure, suggesting it would clear his head and help him focus on his studies, acting as a motivating factor for Vadrik. This advice kept Vadrik determined to complete the task despite the dangers. Vadrik’s longing to return home to Hailin was a recurring theme, indicating the emotional support and comfort Hailin provides. This desire to return to Hailin underscored Vadrik's determination to survive and complete his mission.
Hailin's quirky habit of singing strange rhymes, like the one about Old Stickfingers gave Vadrik a sense of normalcy and warmth amidst the danger. The fact that Hailin was born in Lambholt connected Vadrik more intimately to the village and its people, making the story's stakes more personal for him. Hailin's familiarity with the local folklore, such as the nursery rhyme about Old Stickfingers, indirectly helped Vadrik understand the cultural context and the local fears, enriching his time there with deeper local color and tension.
