Norse/Germanic Creatures

Norse and Germanic materials situate creatures in fjords, forests, marshes, mountains, and hall thresholds. Encounters occur on winter roads, river fords, ship routes, and stone bridges where vows and warnings are exchanged. Symbols include runes, staves, horn cups, ring gifts, iron tools, and carved posts at doorways. Entries provide Old Norse, Old English, and later spellings and relate saga scenes to local place names. Roles include hall guardian, mound sentinel, storm and sea omen, and tester of courage and truth.
