The opening of the book sets the stage for the exploration of Finnish warriors, beginning with a preface that emphasizes the importance of remembering national heroes, especially in times of adversity. It mentions how wars often reveal exceptional personalities willing to sacrifice for their homeland. The first narrative describes Matti Kurki, a leader among the Pirkkalaiset, who celebrates a successful expedition return but soon faces a looming threat from Novgorod raiders.
