They Willingly Walk In Darkness, That Hel Will Find No Rest

The merkstaves left their brethren and traveled under the mountains of Niflheim. Oathbound to Forseti, Baldr's son, they swore to guard the one portal through which Hel could escape her prison.

The Mikill Gata (Great Road) runs like an
invisible artery through the mountains
of Niflheim. Beginning close to the
northeastern shore, where the sea is cold
and teaming with life, the Mikill Gata runs
past Loftur the Necromancer’s lair, past
The Mountain King’s home, and past the
watchpost of the great hawk Gnauroq. It
then runs west until it reaches Soltinnbru,
The Hungry Bridge, the cursed portal
through which Hel can cross, if she pays a price.

A new supplement for Niflheim, The Mikill Gata contains information about the merkstaves and their animal companions, the fyldja, as well as gridded maps of key locations along the almost 1,000 mile long Road.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
