- ―A hunting log of the Beast of the Hills[src]
The Beast of the Hills was a legendary bear that lived in western Sciropescire, Mercia. A tremendous bear, this legendary animal was a sight, due to its colossal size, when compared to the general populations of bears in England.
History[edit | edit source]
In the 870s, Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan travelled around the region of Sciropescire. Along her journey, Eivor came across a hunting log which gave an account of a bear said to be a monumental creature that could pulverize men's heads and was of the size of a Roman bath. Eivor looked around the surrounding area west of the Uriconium Ruins and soon found an underground passage under a hill. Along the passage, she came across many loose arrows and winter chanterelle bushes until she spotted a blood trail. Following it, Eivor slid under an opening in a wall and found the Beast of the Hills in its cellar lair drinking from a large barrel of mead it had torn loose from a rack of barrels inside. After falling over drunk, the creature noticed Eivor and began attacking the warrior, occasionally consuming snakes within the lair to replenish its health. After a long battle, she killed the beast and collected its head as her reward.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The underground lair the bear resides in has no supply of any herbivory replenishments for Eivor's health, thus increasing the difficulty of the fight with the legendary beast.
