I like the new art! Very excited.
Rahaksenwe will be one of the very last new characters I got to add to the PFS continuum as its line lead, and I'm super happy about how her art turned out, too! Especially since she's part of establishing how big Arcadia is; there's a reason she doesn't have the same garb as some of the other depictions of Arcadian residents we've seen, and that reason is that it's a huge continent with lots of diverse cultures. We'll get to meet a couple of them in this adventure, and hopefully that'll open the door to meet even more down the road :)

Any other scenarios we should play before this one, Michael?

It won't hurt to have played the following adventures just for some background, but you don't need to have played anything to enjoy this one!
Pathfinder First Edition- 10-19: Corpses in Kalsgard
Scenario 1-10: Tarnbreaker's Trail
Corpses in Kalsgard is set against the backdrop of Sveinn Blood-Eagle sailing off to Valenhall; experiencing that can add some context to his presence in this scenario.
Grehunde's Gorget introduces the PCs to the idea that not all linnorm kings survive the journey and helps add to the sense of scope and danger in this adventure.
Tarnbreaker' Trail is a direct follow-up to the events of Grehunde's Gorget and has parallel themes of the Ulfen culture interacting with the Indigenous cultures they share territory with.

The addition of a separate pdf with the map is great, but please when doing maps in future content have the borders be on the sides of the squares. Having fractions of squares on a map makes importing them into some VTT programs a lot more work, as you need to shave off those extra pieces first to line up the grid.

Shave them off? I just use alt and move maps to right spot on the grid. The maps don't actually need to perfectly align with the grid
Yes they do, because a map of any significant size with just a few pixels off will cause exponentially bigger errors the further out it goes from the square you use as your baseline. It took a significant amount of time to align some of the Extinction Curse maps properly because for some reason the squares around the edges weren't squares, they were inexplicably longer than they were wide, and this map similarly has boxes around the edge that aren't square. Importing Flip-Map pdfs (which have perfectly aligned borders) is super easy, because you can just set the image size to (squares X 50px) and then set your square size in the VTT to 50px, a process that takes less than a minute.
It's not like I'm making some insane request, I'm asking that maps be as big as the amount of squares they require, no more or less. My assumption is that it's just something that hadn't occurred to anyone involved in the process, because it certainly never occurred to me until I was preparing games in VTT. If it is actually way more work than I expect they'll likely ignore the request, but there's no harm raising the issue.

I have had this issue as well.
