Day 7 – Advent 2025: The Darkness of Blighted Hearts

Continuing with The Darkness of Blighted Hearts 2025 DnD Advent Calendar Story.

Day 7: Yesterday, on Day 6, the Bifrost opened. This had the effect of transporting me from familiar waters to ... well, read today's prelude:

...The horizon shimmers into a greying dream, and the bright waters haze and blur into shadow and shade. All is lost... and yet the rough wood of the deck beneath your feet still rocks with the motions of the restless sea. What wearied world is this? 

I was directed to ROLL FOR THE REALM using the d6 from Day 7 on the calendar. I rolled a 5.

Brand new d6 for Day 7

So, where in the nine worlds did I end up?  

The air hangs thick with the scent of decay. A swirling fog, the color of old bone, obscures the horizon, where the sea churns in a violent, chaotic dance. A biting wind howls, carrying with it a silent promise of oblivion. Yet, beneath your feet, the deck is still. No waves disturb these waters. The silence is heavy.

This is Niflheim—Land of Mist and Ice.

What will happen in Niflheim? Tune in tomorrow when I continue to Day 8.
