La Saga de un Drengr Escaldo: Las disputas del Gélido Norte.

Chapter 15: Sombras del pasado

  Sombras del pasado Tras la traición en el puerto, Vidar capturó al rezagado... Abandonado por los traidores que habían robado el barco y cargamento. La noticia se propagó como pólvora mojada en hidromiel, y la tripulación sobria comenzaba a masticar el peso de la traición. El capitán Þórigg ardía de rabia, incapaz de controlar su impulso por descargar su furia contra el prisionero. Vidar lo detuvo con firmeza: —Cuando yo termine con él… será todo tuyo —dijo, apoyando su mano sobre su hombro. Vidar entró al cuarto con calma gélida. El prisionero, apenas un campesino convertido en bandido por...

Chapter 20: Chapter 20

From Toby, The Monster Hunter by Knifeslayer
Toby, The Monster Hunter

Dawn came thin and pearled over Swansong, the lake wearing a veil of breath. The city’s bells were still shy of their first peal when the docks filled with men who moved like a tide—not in ranks, exactly, but with the practiced agreement of people who had marched together long enough to feel the same pull. Nets slapped wooden pilings. Ropes creaked. Gulls wrote rude letters on the wind. Ser Maxwell and Ser Sid stood at the rendezvous with the four squires and the page, Thom, whose pony looked personally offended by all the noise. The air smelled of pitch...

Chapter 10: 10 - Phantoms

Everything stood still in his eyes, which were still active. Alhen saw a dark fog; he saw dark phantoms of the creatures that lunged at him; their mandibles snapping where his body would have been if he hadn’t rolled away. Alhen ran towards the exit, sprinting as fast as he could. The only thought in his mind had to do with how to survive this situation.

Chapter 11: Bonus Content - The Pantheon

Excerpts from the Journals of the Thrice Cursed Warlord: In the course of my path, I’ve come across conflicting accounts of the Gilded Era; while there are myriad tales echoing a longing and nostalgia for that dead time, few, it seems, care to apply a scholarly focus to the accurate recording of history. As such, from my own experience, elders and timeseers, artifacts, and what little recorded history survived the catastrophe, I will strive to elucidate our shared past in my journals.  First, I will document an enumeration of the major pantheon. Everyone knows of Galae, the Worldfather. It is...
