Nine more chapters to the end of this cours, and of A Thing of Vikings Book III!

Bewilderbeast: Tidal-Class dragon

Overview: Amphibious-aquatic infrastructural/industrial dragon. In modern economies, they are helpful with construction of aquatic and submersible infrastructure and mining, as well as offering chemical and traditional refrigeration services. Militarily useful primarily in naval defense, as their speed is too slow to keep pace with a modern fleet, but are extremely useful for securing harbors and amphibious landing zones when called for.

Breath Type: Flash-Frozen water mixed with Ammonium Nitrate.

Identification: Medium to Gargantuan size. White, gray or black scales and hide, studded with large blunt spines along the back, neck, and tail, holding up a vestigial pair of wings along the lateral sides of the thorax. Four pillar-like legs. Two large tusks jut forward from the temples, aiding in water streamlining during swimming. Long tail with wide fin at terminal end, supported by more spikes. Overall teardrop body profile.

Strategic Role: Naval auxiliaries, submersible ship protection, mine-sweeping, submarine hunters, logistical support, construction support, amphibious assault support.

Known Weaknesses: Slow speed, semi-obligate aquatic, with larger individuals able to spend increasingly less time out of water without risk of harm. Modern mines and torpedoes can easily penetrate their hide in the absence of armor or countermeasures. Needs to breathe.

Phenotype Cluster: B5F3+SØSØSØT7+T5!

Populations: Moderate, but restricted to coastal and riverine regions, for obvious reasons.

We begin in the Chief's Hut on Berk, where Astrid finally realizes just how far off his game Hiccup is, and Wulfhild helps her do something about it. Over in the Rookery, Eret continues to be struck by the change from dragon trapper to Dragon Tender, and meets two visiting young ladies and their dragons. In his offices in Inbhir Niss, Mac Bethad considers how lucky he's been so far, and how lucky he needs to keep being. Elsewhere in the Alban capitol, Fraser delivers Mildew's letter. Back in the Chief's Hut, Stoick and Hiccup talk over the results of the Bogs' Thing. In Vedrarfjord, now he's up and about again, Fintan walks around the city and gets reacquainted with daily life. In the Chief's Hut again, Esther is present for Stoick's discussion with Bladewit, including a wrinkle from the Bogs' decision which could ease matters for her and the rest of Berk's Jewish population. Finally, from Stoick wishing his granddaughters could meet the older one's namesake, we jump to Good-Cold's nest, where Valka (the elder) thinks about what she's done for her flyers, and tries to imagine what the walkers of Berk have become since Cloudjumper carried her off...

Oh yeah, and there's a new Divine Patronage chapter (has been for almost two days, actually), In which, ostensibly liberated from the confines of ordinary life in the Campbellian sense, the hero receives his first assignment from a completely different Goddess.

Since Villain Wrangler can have some severe variations in tone, I will add that this installment is fun and a little action-y, so clear for reading on a dull or bad day.

A Thing of Vikings
https://archiveofourown.org/works/104089...2#workskin

Another advantage that the Byzantines inherited from the Roman Empire and subsequently refined was the control of information in their bureaucracies. Perhaps best exemplified by their control over the knowledge of Greek Fire, they arguably perfected the use of information compartmentalization, where the weapon system of Greek Fire was broken down into many parts, and no one group had access to the full information required to create and deploy the feared weapon. The knowledge was instead spread between those who had the formula for its creation, the builders and operators of the specialized dromon ships that carried the Fire into battle, the specific chamber used to heat and pressurize it for spraying, the crafters of the siphōn that sprayed it, and the siphōnarioi who used it in battle. No one group in the entirety of the Byzantine government had the full picture of how it was made or used. Thus, even when portions of Greek Fire were captured—such as in 814 AD by the Bulgarians—the enemies of the Byzantines could not make use of the weapon.

After quite a few whiles, there's been an update to The Tyranny of Kinship (a Star Wars AU in which Bail Organa, in a desperate attempt to save his adoptive daughter's life after the capture of the Tantive IV, reveals Leia's true parentage to her biological dad, with moderately hilarious consequences).
