Just a glimpse of a villain's lair in a Norse myth. Cold, craggy, barren, isolated, overlooking a vast and restless ocean. Simply Sturm und Drang ("Storm and Stress", German Romanticism). So I had to put it here, like the description of Templin Fortress last autumn, to show you what kind of settings I like. Secluded settings: royal courts and outpost communities, fortress prisons and cave castles like this one, estates, encampments, and pirate ships.
(By Annie and Eliza Keary)Thiassi's castle in Jotunheim (frozen regions):
It was called a castle; but it was, in reality, a hollow in a dark rock; the sea broke against two sides of it; and, above, the sea-birds clamoured day and night. There was a gloomy chamber,
shut up from the fresh air and sunshine, and yet, perhaps,
it was safer than being allowed to wander about Jötunheim,
and see the monstrous sights that would have met us there.
