Blood of the Wolf: The Call

Prose Fiction Inspired by the Norsing Home Valheim Server

Official Art from Iron Gate Studios. Art by Mats Minnhagen.

There is tell tale

of a fisherman on the outskirts

of the land of the undead

who has heard the call

of the moon-kin in the dark of night.

As he casts out his lure

the beasts howl and cry

with the rising of the full moon,

far from their abode

in the misty mountain tops.

But what he whispers to his kinsmen

when he has returned with a full net

is the horror of what he hears

before the moon wakes with the night:

the screams of men

echoing out in agony

as the darkness of the land

swallows them whole.

You must save them

before it is too late,

He tells the Vikings at his table.

The longer we wait,

the louder the call becomes.
