The Illness and the Dangers of the Silent World,
By Skald Jorgen Jóhannesson.

We people blessed to have survived in this world by the Gods' mercy still face countless challenges from the Creatures which plague civilization's borders. We people born of Iceland are truly the most gifted of all mankind to never live in fear of their invasion. The Creatures of the Silent World come in many shapes and forms, yet they still can be easily identified and organized into three categories.

'''The ''Beasts'''''
----
Easily the most prevalent of the Creatures, the Beasts are the mutated mammals which have succumbed to the Illness. Possessing only a primal lust for blood and feast, they congregate in many hives and nests only venturing out to feed. Beasts can be solitary hunters or great throngs of similar Creatures. The Beasts maintain their former shape the most out of any other type of Creature.

Quite easy to dispatch by even conventional means as the uniform shape means only one brain and heart - though this is not always the case -, but Beasts are feared for being carriers of the Illness. A suitable amount of Beasts can dispatch border guards before the nearest settlement can be notified, leading to them reaching the settlement and contaminating those not immune. This in almost all recorded cases leads to the destruction of the settlement.

'''The ''Trolls'''''
----
Humans which have befallen a fate worse than death. It is theorized by many Skalds that these are people who insulted the Gods by worshiping only one god, but no proof to this has been presented thus far. Trolls are the opposite of Beasts in several ways, as no two trolls look alike. During the Summer, trolls who happen to meet each other mingle and mix. Combining limbs and organs to create a new, more durable and deadly Creature. These transformation mostly takes place during the late months of Summer however, and can last the entirety of Winter.

What makes Trolls truly dangerous is their intelligence. They understand us, and mimic us. It has been shown that Trolls call for help to pull inexperienced Scouts to suffer a horrible fate. Since Humans are all that Trolls are made up of, those without immunity should be warned. If you are taken, you will be integrated into the Troll itself, as many studies from Norway have shown. 

Because of the excess of vital organs, bullets seem to have no effect as the Troll can suffer immense amounts of physical damage before succumbing to death. This is why Trolls should be treated with the utmost caution, and never doubted for a moment. They rely on out thinking and overpowering people to kill, or worse, integrate them. A Troll's patterns of behavior can be studied, and traps can be laid. Trolls have regular patterns where people can anticipate their next move, which the Norwegians have excelled at learning. A Troll which breaks normal patterns is in a desperate need of sustenance, or new parts to acquire. These are extremely dangerous, as they have both intelligence and unpredictability.

'''The ''Giants'''''
----
In the rare cases found of Trolls, they appear to be the combination of Beasts and Trolls. Whole packs of Beasts and several Troll bodies can be incorporated into a Giant. These have been documented during the Danes attempt to retake their mainland. There is no documentation of any such Creatures being exterminated. If you encounter a Giant, do not run or scream for help. Stand still, and stay silent. It might go away.
