The Battle of the Bloodswamp

The Kri were a people of born warriors, dangerous cold-hearted mercenaries, threatening to drag down the northern regions into a spiral of war and destruction. The spear of Svalinir was cast to eradicate them all, and King Grimwolf leads the united forces from Nordheim into the Battle of the Bloodswamp, where a generation of warriors perishes. All Kri are killed there, men, women, the old and young and the children.
Amid this violence, a woman discovers a baby lying next to a dying warrior. Having recently lost her two children, she decides to keep it for herself despite the death sentence against his people and names the boy Kitt. A blacksmith helps her to preserve the secret.
