Shadowy affairs (2)

A frozen land, somewhere among the Heavenly Planes. It is a harsh domain where only warriors gather in mighty halls and regale each other with their tales of valor. Here, they fight endlessly and drown themselves in ale, and carnal pleasures. This is the domain of Woden, a High god and the sovereign god of one of the Northern Church's pantheons.

"Moksha, why have you come?"

Woden's voice boomed across a mighty hall which was the size of an entire mortal city. This was one hall among many in his domain, and he would often travel among these halls to revel with the souls of mighty warriors who have died in his service and have been rewarded with eternal life.

Who knew how many thousands or tens of thousands of warriors were present in this hall, and with Woden's booming voice, the hall had grown completely silent. The sound had been as raucous as an entire city of rowdy citizens, but now was so silent that you could hear the drop of a pin.
