As Grognar sharpens his axe, a soft golden glow spreads across the blade, pulsing with a steady rhythm, like the beating of a heart. Ghostly figures of Viking warriors appear in the air around him, their spectral forms standing proud and unbowed. They chant in low, resonant voices, their words carried by a faint breeze. The ground beneath Grognar trembles subtly, and the scent of salt air and pine forests fills the air. To onlookers, Grognar appears larger than life, his presence commanding and otherworldly, as though the ancient spirit of a Hersir has returned to the world.
This transformation stems from Grognar’s unbreakable connection to his past. As he sharpens his axe, he recalls the camaraderie, loyalty, and sacrifices of his comrades. Each motion honors their memory and rekindles his purpose as a Hersir.
