Here's the English text of my translation of The Waking of Angantýr (attached in a .pdf). I tend to "tweak" things a lot over time, so if this ever does appear in a publication it might be modified to one or another degree.

As a Patreon exclusive, I've also included the stanzas right before Hervor talks to her father, when she has an exchange with a cowardly sheepherder on the island.

The Waking of Angantýr

It's a return to the most "metal" of the Norse sagas today, featuring the ancient poem in which the warrior Hervor confronts her undead father in his grave and demands his cursed sword.
