The First Shades of Zek Vol. I

As the war on the Plane of
Earth ended, King Beltron
Wulfnor began to lose his grip
on life, foregoing the
comforts of his palatial
fineries in Valdeholm, he
spent his last hours in
Krithgor. He wanted to spend
his last moments near his
giants and all the Rallosians
who served in the war. He had
lived a full life and seen
much and was ready to give his
flesh and spirit to Rallos Zek
and pass the throne down to
his son, Odeen.

After spending many hours
behind closed doors with his
son, the loreseekers were
brought to prepare Beltron for
his final breath and to secure



safe passage into the
afterlife. The giants believed
that upon death, they would
live once again as warriors at
their maker's side. They
never feared death because of
the honor it would bring them
-- to stand next to their
warlord, Rallos Zek, was
something many giants looked
forward to.

Finally, Beltron's last breath
escaped. Odeen removed the
crown and placed it on his
head as the loreseekers
blessed him with all the
strength and courage of his
father. Then the body was
prepared for the procession
into the House Wulfnor chamber
of the Frostcrypt.

Thousands of giants made the



march from Krithgor to
Valdeholm, the great giant
city to the north. Their heads
held high, proud that their
king would be standing with
his god, they marched for
hours chanting a war prayer
created by the first king of
the giants, King Harfange the
Black, who was said to have
been given it by Rallos Zek
himself.

Svard dor istadd
Alska kerdu vargadrum
Ayx! Ayx!

And so the giants marched,
shaking the hillsides with
their booming voices until
they reached the frozen
Flateye Lake. From here, only
the loreseekers and nobles
were allowed to continue into



the barrow chiseled beneath
the icy lake. From the walls
of Valdeholm above, the giants
all watched as the loreseekers
flawlessly rearranged
themselves in a formation to
march single file into the
crypt. [See Volume II for more]
