My name's Drew Macleod and I can use galdr. What's galdr? You'd probably call it magic. I'm slowly developing my skills and sources of galdr, with the "help" of Archer and a. He's a grumpy bastard, but he's the last remaining daemon, so who else is going to protect Edinburgh from all the bad stuff out there? The angelii? Don't make me laugh. If people in the city had any idea what was going on out of their sight they'd wet themselves and the angelii are as powerful as half-drowned kittens. So it's down to Archer and I to fend off maras, sceadhus, shades, ælves and all the rest of the nasties out there. There's Garm of course, but as he manifests himself as a small, scruffy dog his help is usually limited to sarcastic advice. Thank heavens for Alyssum and Traggheim, herbalist and dweorg artisan respectively. And Jamie, the best mate I accidentally dragged into all this with me.
