abstract	The Sagas is a collection of epic lays that recount the Apocalypse. It primarily consists of "The Kelmariad", the story of Anasûrimbor Celmomas II and his tragic Ordeal; "The Kayûtiad", the account of Celmomas's son, Anasûrimbor Nau-Cayûti, and his heroic exploits; "The Book of Generals", the story of the deceptive events following Nau-Cayûti's murder; "The Trisiad", which recounts the great city of Trysë's destruction; "The Eämnoriad", the story of ancient Atrithau's expulsion of Seswatha and subsequent survival; "The Annals of Akksersa", which recounts the Fall of Akksersia; and lastly, "The Annal Sakarpa", or "The Refugee's Song" as it is sometimes called, the strange account of the city of Sakarpus during the Apocalypse. Despite the scorn of Mandate scholars (or perhaps because of it), The Sagas possess an almost scriptural reputation in the Three Seas. A number of different authors contributed to the Sagas, but only two are named: Heyorthau and Nau-Ganor. The Sagas are stories mostly about ancient Nordic and Germanic history, about early Viking voyages, the battles that took place during the voyages, about migration to Iceland and of feuds between Icelandic families. They were written in the Old Norse language, mainly in Iceland. The texts are tales in prose which share some similarities with the epic, often with stanzas or whole poems in alliterative verse embedded in the text, of heroic deeds of days long gone, "tales of worthy men," who were often Vikings, sometimes pagan, sometimes Christian. The tales are usually realistic, except legendary sagas, sagas of saints, sagas of bishops and translated or recomposed romances. They are sometimes romanticized and fantastic, but always dealing with human beings one can understand.
