Hervor claims Tyrfing
Part of the 13th-century Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks, the shieldmaiden Hervor goes to the mound of her late father to claim her inheritance, the legendary sword Tyrfing. Knowing of the curse laid on his sword, her draugr*-turned father Angantýr tries his best to dissuade her daughter from claiming the weapon...
* A draugr is an Old-Norse undead creature, usually but not universally malevolent.
“One who wanders | towards those mounds,
alone through the night, | nighs his death.
Look! Oh my - | the mounds are alight!
The earth is on fire, | flee for your life!”
- Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks, Iceland, 13th century -
It's still a bit noisy, but I can't bear any longer rendering time than the 2 hours it already takes Perhaps if I've got some time to spare, I will upload a less noisy image.
