8. Jötnar Returns

He is back! As I returned from my survey today, I was stunned to see an enormous pile of great limestone blocks surrounding my tiny Vinterstad. Jötnar’s quest had been to quarry for limestone. His skill with rock is unparalleled. He has begun constructing an enormous wall circumscribing Vinterstad in return for my building Niaafjäll. His speech has improved greatly during his absence, and he tells me his memory is beginning to return.

He has conceived of a grand plan for Vinterstad’s layout, and he has divided it into quadrants with four roads. Each road points to one of the Four Dwarves. The Northern gate is largest, as its Dwarf is nearest. It will be the most splendid of entrances.

I am very pleased the Giant is adapting so well to this new Midgard. I look forward to our future time together.
