Saga Einn by Imij

Sᚨᚷᚨ ᛖᛁᚾᚾ

Saga, an Imij tale of Norse mythology, has begun with this, the first chapter, Einn. The legends contained in these Imijes are further elaborated upon in the accompanying 'Saga Tales by Imij' (found inside the album download's bonus content only).

Join me as we land to fight giants with the enemy of the wolf in Járnviðr;

- As the dwarves lament the power of heaven's candle in Svartálfheim;

- As we are dragged down to the dark depths of Hlésey by the goddess of the sea;

- As we are strung up until the twilight of the gods with the one who steals from giants (while he plots his cunning revenge);

- When we stand guard at the doom of the gods with the son of nine mothers;

- As we observe the Æsir seek the husband of Queen Rán for counsel;

- As we hear tell of worried and hushed learnings regarding the bog dweller;

- As we watch the daughter of King Völsung condemn herself and the son of a she-wolf;

- When we listen in on a cautionary tale about the giant eagle and his terrifying power;

- When finally, Njörðr hypothesizes to the Vanir what his new wife may have had grievances about, upon her brief stay at Nóatún.

IMIJ THANKS/ᛗᛟᛊᛏ ᚷᚱᚨᛏᛖᚠᚢᛚ:

The Electric Dugong, for crushing everything! Your feedback on everything asked has been hugely appreciated and has helped with the overall devlopment, consistency and standard of Saga. Your recordings have made me lift my game and have bettered Saga and your karma rating must be a solid 100! We have more Sagas to finish...Thanks legend. Respect.

Matty C., your talent is undeniable and hopefully the final live recordings of The Hashishian Bluesmen can be released in the near future.

Philharmonia, resplendent in every way.

Carboner, M.B, Rise, Lizzie and JBL... You've all been stellar on the Saga journey thus far as well.

Snorri, I eagerly await our chats in Valhalla.
