And the Heavens Burn, A Norse Mythology-based fantasy series

Norse Myth -- (AtHB) Kinsmen Die Ch 35: Vidar is the pits


Listen Later

Welcome to CHAPTER 35 of the Kinsmen Die podcast, home of fantasy fiction based on Norse mythology that’s written and read by me, Matt Bishop.

In this podcast I read my first novel, Kinsmen Die, one chapter at a time. And, with each episode, when it makes sense, I provide some commentary about the source materials I’ve referenced in the text.

Today, we’re back with Vidar Odinsson. We’d last left him about to attack some Jotunn who’d occupied the mining camp in the mountains above Hals. In one of the earliest chapters, one of the miners had recounted the attack on his workers on the road up to that camp. After that attack, the Jotunn had rolled on down the mountain and sacked Hals but not before they’d sent a messenger for help — which is what brought Vidar and his warband to Hals, followed by Odin, Baldr and some Einherjar.
