Legends of the Skaal will chronicle the lives of two Skaal brothers as each must answer the call in the Fourth Era of Man and Mer. Dragons have returned to the lands of their ancestors, threatening fire and ruin to all; ancient powers stir in the shadows, growing stronger with each passing moment. Daedric forces are uncomfortably close, and redemption for one father's legacy will carve out a fresh story - or set fire to the old one. A Frost Moon hangs high above Tamriel, shedding light on the unseen.
The first book will see the brothers separated by the civil war, and will cover the beginning of the civil war as told by the Stormcloak side (though quests will be out of order).
Frost Moon is broken down into three parts:
Unblooded, Sign of the Bear and Change Moon.
Ages 14+ for violence, language and other mature themes.
When the frost moon high has risen,
The bear from slumber shall wake
Winged death will shun its prison
and men will yield to the snake.
The immortal soul shall sunder
The songs of yore resung
High the mountain shall thunder
and ring with ancient tongue.
Dovahkiin.

Frost Moon and the rest of the trilogy will not always be lore-friendly, in fact it will probably deviate from the lore often as the story unfolds. I will be adding my own ideas to the Skaal and to certain families within Skyrim. So no need to post comments to correct me, I've probably written it that way on purpose. Big thanks to Lissette, TheUnhelpful, Sotek and everyone else who supported me back in November when this story was first getting off the ground.

For anyone wondering where Reidar's two chapters have disappeared to (originally chapters 31 and 34), never fear! You will see them again... In the next book!
After studying my timeline and my author notes, I decided that ultimately the story should start and end with Kjeld, not Reidar. I would rather trim back two chapters than try to tack on some kind of rushed, unsatisfactory ending for this part of Reidar's story.
