Prologue - The Feathered Fighter

I used to be called Verner Maximoose. But now it seems that I am a bird. Allow me to re-introduce myself.

Call me Caeruleus. Second part of the latin name for Blue Tit.

Come on now, stop giggling.

From my treebranch in Lapland I’ve seen the world change. And for the coming days I will share what I've seen from the very same branch.

But first,

this is my oath:

I swear to keep my patch of the Scandes safe.

I swear to lend my beak, wing or talon to any friend in need.

I swear to use my Blood Magic insight for the good of the people.

Let me remind the reader that the testimony of a deranged mad man now turned into a bird may not always line up with reality. 

I promise to include original artwork in every article with minimum AI-involvement, I aim to release one part every week.

"Was I ever a man or maybe that was just a dream. Anyways, I think I’m better off this way."

Sincerely, Caeruleus

A reminder! Keep your guard up and remain vigilant fellow B.E.E.R enjoyer! Remember too:

• Keep the Nest safe and sound

• Feed the Little ones

• Fight off any evil White storks or Black-tailed-godwits*

• Drink lots of beer, even if you aren’t exactly human

(*If you aren’t a bird enthusiast: these are the national birds of Lithuania and the Netherlands)
