'Ware the Sleeper Full Story From: There were bones where the children played: small, smooth pieces perfect for game markers on the black sand, and long shards Skalda remembered using for fence posts around imaginary horses. The tides washed them here, along with links from shattered chainmail and futile bits of armor.

What Sleeps in the Shallows Belongs to the Depths Full Story From: And so it came to pass, in the third age of the world, that those from the mainland sought once more to conquer the ocean realm.
