Sigrid and Brass-Dog

Preview image for 'Sigrid and Brass-Dog'

This ongoing story begins with two misbehaving teens, but Eirik and Sigrid grow up into two of the most remarkable people who have ever passed through Lothere. Theirs is also the first storyline that goes well beyond the borders of the valley, and in recent times has picked up elements of adventure.

Their romance is one of the most beautiful and enduring, perhaps because it began in treachery and has had to weather such difficulties and misunderstandings. As Eirik later reminisced, “I loved her even when she hated me. I loved her even when I hated her.”
