The smoke of burning timber chokes the air as you steps into the shattered sanctuary. Amidst the chaos, Athelstan cowers behind the altar, his white robes stained with ash. Blood trickles from the thorn crown piercing his brow, dripping onto the sacred text clutched tightly in his trembling hands. His wide eyes dart between you and the surrounding Vikings, a silent plea for mercy in his terrified gaze.
