Description acceptable. After returning from this place, a character watches an object “wilt into gory icicles” in a passage that concludes “He who wields power over time and tide: He is the true Lord.” The “burning waters” surrounding this place inspired a later author’s description of “tricksy lights” in the Dead Marshes. A group traveling to this place encounters (-5[1])an old (-5[1])man’s severed head under a cliff. A man takes a hilt from this place after he beheads a corpse, (15[1])whose blood melts a (*) sword “from the (10[1])days of the giants.” A journey to this place is (10[1])prompted by the murder (-5[1])of the (-5[1])wise councilor Aeschere. (10[1])Upon receiving the sword Hrunting, (10[2]-5[2])a man swims down to this place (-5[1])to do battle (10[1])with (10[1])a creature (10[1])who terrorized Heorot after the death of her son, (-5[1])a “descendant of Cain.” For 10 points, give this residence of a monster and his mother (10[1])in Beowulf.
