Note to players: 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” (15[1])in the Dead Marshes. A group traveling to this place encounters an old man’s severed head under a cliff. A man takes (-5[1])a hilt from this place after he (15[1])beheads a corpse, whose blood melts a (*) sword “from the days of the (10[1])giants.” (10[2])A journey to this place is prompted (-5[1])by the murder of the wise councilor Aeschere. Upon receiving the sword Hrunting, (-5[1])a man swims (-5[1])down to this (-5[1])place (10[1])to do (-5[1])battle with a creature (10[1])who terrorized Heorot after (10[1])the death of her son, (10[1])a “descendant of Cain.” For 10 points, give this residence of a monster and his mother in Beowulf.
