And I, Hildur of Greikar, have wandered almost through it whole.\u003cp\u003eFrom my native fjord in icy Skallagaard to the melancholic cities of the Old Empire in the Eastern Continent. From the wide prairies of Oxania to the colony of Azatgrad, where the world ceases to be civilized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have seen many things. Some of them quite mundane, others unusual and even extraordinary. I have met all kinds of characters: bold and craven, mean and kind, generous and tight-fisted; each of them the protagonist of their own tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo sit with me by this cozy fire.

This is what happens when Beowulf, the Arthurian cycle, and Byzantine conspiracies are mixed with a hint of Middle-earth and the Lovecraftian circle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josune Amboage,Víctor Gondra \u0026amp;.
