The moment I saw your post, I got excited. This threaded perfectly into Gaiur's world. I am such a fan. It is now added to the official tl! (For anyone who hasn't read In the Giant's Shadow, please do!)
This took quite a while for me to get down, believe it or not, so I'm very pleased to hear you think it worked out so well. Honestly, I had to stop a few paragraphs in to really debate exactly how I wanted the Suff to interact with Gaiur and her world, as well as what sort of implications I wanted to showcase in terms of what it is, what it wants, and what kind of limitations it may have.
I forgot to read it when I put out my table, but I have now.
So, Gaiur has survived The Suff. Heh heh. I enjoyed this. By far my favorite Suff story I have seen so far. I can't wait to see what comes next for Gaiur and Varro. I also can't wait to see what comes next from you.
Joseph Weiss, author of Crann Na Beatha, has a fantastic entry that gives us brief glimpses of people from across his world positing on the what's, why's, and wants of the Suff as they encounter what are thought to be some of its victims. The Chronicler's entry is also quite good, as have the variety of poems and hypotheses shared about the creature. It's well worth taking the time to pick through some of the work linked in The Chronicler's timeline.
Oh...beautiful. I wondered how Gaiur of the Axe would respond to the suff.
As always, your descriptions are perfect. I felt the loneliness of the night, the sour and salt of pemmican and berries, and the desolation of the suff.

Considering the volume of quality stories out there, that's quite high praise.
Thank you, Harold. I'm elated that you enjoyed it so much.
You're welcome!
I haven't seen too many versions. Which are your favorites in the Suff multiverse?

This was awesome! We have yet another brave soul that was able to escape the clutches of The Suff.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Great addition to The Suff.
