Post 8 (Beyond the Maps): The Northmen
In the uttermost north, beyond even the kingdom of Belenus,
icy mountain peaks look down on the Coldlands. The Coldlands are not on our
maps, not even the borders. The Alamiri do not venture even to Belenus’ home,
let alone past it. But rumors come to us – from foreigners, adventurers, and
far-travelers, brave, reckless, wild men.
Winter is
an early-comer and a late-goer in the Coldlands. In the months of its supremacy
it is fierce, scouring the country with frozen storms and bitter cold. The
Northmen are pale in their looks, as if somehow brought to conformity with the
ice and snow. Their eyes are blue, their hair and skin very fair.
It is said
that the Northmen worship gods of war and thunder with superstitious rites,
that they wear the pelts and fangs of animals, that they know nothing of
letters and reading. They are called barbarians.
Are they? I
suppose we shall know if we ever see them. I don’t know why we should see the
Northmen; the Coldlands are so far away. But the chances of the world are
strange. Maybe we will someday know the Northmen after all.
