Elk of Bloody Peaks
- "I saw the Great Elk. I met my match. I await my death..."
- ―Description of the Elk of Bloody Peaks[src]
The Elk of Bloody Peaks was a legendary albino elk that lived in 9th century Rygjafylke. An enormous stag, this legendary animal was the only one of its existence in the area, excluding the general presence of the typical deer.
History
In the 870s, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan travelled around the region of Rygjafylke after escaping the custody of Kjotve the Cruel's Wolf Clan soldiers.[1] Along her journey in Rygjafylke, Eivor looked around the area of Elgrfors, west of Fornburg, and came across a dead body and note, which stated that a "great elk" had caused the victim's fatal wounds. Eivor came across the great creature at an icy waterfall above the dead body. Upon entering its domain, Eivor startled the elk and the legendary animal roared and then began to attack the warrior. After a lengthy battle, Eivor killed the creature and collected its head as her prize.[2]
Behind the scenes
Regardless what time of day or night Eivor fights the creature, the weather will immediately change to a downpour of snow, decreasing visibility and thereby somewhat camouflaging the elk.
