In a shield wall enough arrows will find every gap and pierce whatever is unprotected. Eyes, throats, shoulders, even legs would all be fair game. An archer wouldn't even necessarily need to aim, though of course it didn't hurt. After all an archer could have three or four arrows in the air at any one time up to eight hours a minute. Though that rate would be hard to maintain for more than ten minutes or so. But with several hundred archers one could blanket a formation.

The Norse weren't expecting the Nasnor archers to show up at the battle. They had assumed their terror raids would have cowed them into submission so they would not send troops to the northern island when King Falkimir of Elgon requested them. It was only Larya's magic that got them through, but that is another story. But the archers arrived and the Norse weren't expecting them especially when retreating after a defeat . They weren't supposed to lose.



This page marks a return to my favorite filter. I've used it on several comics going back to Mask of the Aryans It adds texture and grit to the images as well as defining the color. The original images were all over-exposed so there was a lot of work done to adjust the color. The original intention was it to be the stark light of sunset but instead it just looked like bad over-exposed flash photography.
