Ever since birth, Eivor Erikson has been able to commune with the Norse gods through small screens and quests that they gave him -- besting his brothers in sparring, completing his chores on the farm, and obeying his parents in everything.

While examining the papers of my family, I happened to stumble upon this most extraordinary and peculiar narrative. It purports to be the testimony of one Rhaenyra Targaryen regarding the tragic events which befell her family in 116 AU (530 AD by the Valyrian Calendar).

"I am the middle woman. I am the nomad bound to a hearth, the hunter bound to a farm, the mother split down the middle, with one foot in marriage, one in magic. No man has named me, and yet I have a name. I balance a path with steep falls on both sides, and on that path I have come to bring you the strength of my lands and the riches of my shores. Do you accept my offerings?"

Hello!
Welcome to my new writing project: a series of somewhat related short stories set in Ancient Athens, that aim at exploring the circumstances beyond a VERY important, yet oddly never touched by fiction, event. I won't name it yet but I suspect those already well-versed in Classical History will guess soon enough.
I hope you will enjoy my scribbles :)

In times of chaos and corruption, in the badlands where there's no centralized and organized ruling body loved and respected by the mass, humankind would return to their natural, unenlightened self.
Competing for resources in the most brutish way possible, disregarding the rule of law and norms of politeness. The strength of one's fist and the sharpness of one's blade decide everything. Only those who have power have the privilege to speak out against injustice.
Such is the written rule of...
