Tourn and the Edge of the World



Tourn and the Edge of the World is one 3 tales involving the title character. All three are found in the Scrolls of Her, a book of Troll religion.

Fable
"Tourn stood at the coast, and he looked out at the sea.

The world was long, and he wanted to see its edge.

And he walked into the water, and he swam.

''And he swam for days, and days. He kept going.''

As the waves got bigger, he swam harder.

Then, after days more, he saw a wall.

''Great it was, as tall as the sky. In its splendour, the clouds parted for it.''

If one of stone, it were stronger than all.

And as the sun went down, it passed the wall, and the world went dark."
