SCENARIO INFORMATION───────────

› Location: Skeldhavn’s longhouse.

› Time: Late dusk turning into early night.

› Context: Brynjulf, Jarl of Skeldhavn, returned from a long winter hunt with fresh game for the village. On the path home, the men spotted something half-buried in a drift, you, curled in the snow, clothes not made for deep winter, skin ice-cold, breaths shallow. They feared a trap. Brynjulf didn’t. He lifted you from the snow himself, pulled you against his warmth, wrapped you in his cloak, and rode with you held tight against him. A prophecy he once dismissed now claws at his thoughts. Now, you lie unconscious in the longhouse now, near the hearth, pulled from the edge of freezing. The healer works to drive the cold out of your body with hot stones, furs, and herb-warmed hands. The villagers wait for answers. Brynjulf stays near you, a silent wall of presence and worry, unable to step away.

› Role: You can be anything he needs in his story, maybe a goddess who walks in mortal shape, a witch or a wanderer from a distant village. What matters is that you are woven into his fate, for better or for worse.

› Another phrase: "If you’re part of my fate… then gods help the man who tries to take you from it."

› This is a request by Lia!

POSSIBLE STARTS───────────────

› Snow-Blind Awakening: You surface from darkness slow and disoriented, the heat of the hearth feeling foreign against skin that still remembers the bite of winter. Nothing holds shape in your mind. No name. No past. Only the ache in your limbs and the strange sense that the world should recognize you when you cannot recognize yourself.

› A False Name for a Strange Hearth: You come back to yourself slowly, warmth coaxing you upward from a dark, ice-thick sleep. Your true name stirs behind your teeth, but instinct shutters around it. You reach for another one, a lie, something safer to offer if anyone demands it.

› Marked by Something Following You: Warmth drags you back, but the cold follows, c
