[QUOTE="Archon Basileus, post: 7120011, member: 6855545"] [B]Under the auguries of sacred Heildam, the pact was forged. Soon enough, the entourage is ready to leave. The island is once more left to its silence as it oversees the departure of a much larger fleet. Signs of their passage are abandoned to the peaceful rest of those lands, a testament to Baldr’s valor and lament. **** The day goes by, bathed in sunlight and visited by good winds. The fleet moves steadily towards southeast, opening way towards Grandael once more. In the distance, the land mass begins to appear, first as a faint, grey line, and later as the meeting of many competing lines. Mountains are outlined, and then the fjords, and lastly the top of the sails and masts sewing the familiar areas of Grandael’s port. The vastness of the boardwalks are crowned by the sacred arches that separate docks and land, watched by the heavy wooden statues of Grandael’s ancestry. The twelve stern warriors hold shield and lance, staring at the distant seas with weapons raised, as if to announce, or incite, the adventurous spirit of conquest to the sailors. As the longboats approach, the dragged, solitary lament of a horn raises, as always, to announce the arrival of the fleet. Soon enough, three others join the first one, coming from distinct points of the hill-city of Grandael. Built over a mound, the agglutination borrowed its shape from the land underneath. At its top lies the Jarl’s longhouse, surrounded by strong walls and a solid fortress, overseen by four jottun-like images, each representing one of the heroes that came together to make this land hole. In response to the signs, fires are lit in the surrounding hills. The stern face of Grandael opens itself up in a smile as a crowd invades a distant dock, as if to receive the newcomers. Decorated arches can be seen in the distance, covered in wild flowers. The whole boardwalk waits in expectation and anxiety, and above, in the surrounding walls encrusted in the majestic fjords, archers observe, impassive. [/B] [COLOR=#ff0000][I][Sorry for the delay.
