Tourn and the Crown of Ice



The Crown of Ice is a tale from the Scrolls of Her, and is well known in the Troll society.

Fable
"One Troll by the name of Tourn, picked up some Ice, and he looked at it.

He felt how cold it was, and he disliked it.

And he thought to himself

'''This ice is cold. So cold it hurts me. All it does is stop us form getting water. Can I make it a good thing'?''

And he began trying.

He wondered if the ice would shield him from dangers, but it was hard to hold and broke easily.

''He wondered if when it melted, it meant more water. But cold it was, still.''

He wondered if he could use it as a knife, but as it cut into some meat, it cut him still.

''Then, Tourn wondered if the ice could make him look special. If it could make him extraordinary.''

''And he carved, from the ice, a crown. One that would fit upon his head and give him power.''

''And he did. And the Crown was special.''"
