The laceration to his chest sent an ache across his core. But, Elvish medicine was renowned throughout the realms, and for that Angantyr was grateful that his sole companion was privy to its secrets. He stood up to his knees to drag himself across the sand over to the treeline, where the shade...

Angantyr's mind drifted through time and space, through stars and dreams and prophecies foretold by war gods long ago. He had left his body behind on the shores of that lonely sandbar. Instead, his spirit travelled to meet its master, the spinner of his fate that gifted him a worthy death. He...

Kakamolan's belly split open to create a yawning abyss behind sharp wooden teeth. The fish disappeared underwater, leaving only the visage of its destruction in its wake; a ship now entirely cleaved in half. Angantyr gripped the stern railing tightly as his half of the ship lurched and began to...

Angantyr had known gods to be fickle beings, as did anyone who interacted with them on a regular basis. Magic, too, especially of the Dwarven kind, was not easily tossed aside, especially not by a mere primal, uneducated warrior such as himself. The Dwarves wove sorcery and fate together in a...

The Kakamo'lan lurched to the left and right as the storm raged on, pelting Angantyr with harsh clouds of rain droplets. The dark horizon of the ocean moved underneath the ship, and the large Nordenfiir sank to one knee after having completed his task. Finally, it could be over. There was a...

"Keep back!" Angantyr called from across the ship's deck as Soriel's silhouette appeared in the doorway of the captain's quarters. Between them, rain fell and marred both of their views of each other. Whatever gods one took as their own had surely heard the clarion call aboard the Kakamo'lan...

The crowd fell silent as the junior officer regaled Soriel with the details of the event. Angantyr grimaced, blood still dripping from his beard, and then straightened up from his hunched, defensive position. Jariny had told the events accurately. The blade, still sheathed, moved back to its...

At the sound of the gong, the throng of sailors parted for Soriel. The curtain of men drew back to reveal the two behemoths wrestling amidst a broken table, scattered food and tarnished silverware, clearly fighting over the blade. The noise did nothing to stop their brawl, as neither would...

The ship lurched again with the passing of a wave, as men sat in the stygian cabin awaiting orders. The orders did come, though not from a voice that Angantyr would expect, for they emanated in the treble of a woman's voice, who looked as if she had never seen the back of a sea port, so...

The ship's hull groaned and sputtered the speech of waves licking against its keel as the Kakamo'lan cut a swath through open ocean. Angantyr could sense that they were getting into deep waters now. It had been some hours since they'd set off from port, and his new career as an oarsman aboard...
