Hólmganga by ljóð

Hólmganga: the ancient Scandinavian means of settling disputes through duel.

Considered by some to be a sacred - almost magical - rite, the participants would journey to an island, where deadly battle would commence.

Dungeon synth with Nordic, Gaelic and Germanic influences, among others.

Also inspired by pen and paper RPGs, crumbling castles, caers, keeps, sharp steel, hot forges, THAC0, Infinity Engine, Appendix N and all that good stuff.

ljóð: from Old Norse - sound/song/poem/charm/spell.
