Historical Lovecraft: Tales of Horror Through Time
“Ansgar was long-descended from that noble hero Leif the Lucky and so, Ansgar ruled at Brattahlíð on Eiriksfjord, just as his ancestors had done since Eirik Thorvaldsson first tamed that savage place. Ansgar was as strong of mind as he was of arm, and fair in his dealings, and so, when it was decided that a council should be held after some time without one, the other rulers of that land agreed that Brattahlíð was a worthy place to hold the Althing. Men came from Hvalsey and Vatnahverfi and even... Herjolfnes, and among them were kingly men with kingly gifts, but also among them came Volund Deep-Friend, slinking up the steep slope of Brattahlíð like a lean wolf looking to steal from a camp of men.Volund Deep-Friend was not trusted, for he had named the island he settled on the western coast ‘Hymirbjarg’, claiming it was the point from whence the giant Hymir launched his boat to fish for the World Serpent with the old god Thor. It was not only Volund’s talk of old gods that earned him scorn and hatred, for it is fine to tell stories of the old times, but there was rumour that Volund still held such things sacred, that he had not taken to the true Lord, but still bowed before heathen altars.MoreLess
