A quotation from Bierce, Ambrose:

«««««
ABSTAINER, n. A weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure. A Total Abstainer is one who abstains from everything, but abstention, and especially from inactivity in the affairs of others.

"I'd call this hell, if it weren't so cold."

"Norse hell was a frozen, place for people who died unheroic deaths."

"Unheroic? We stopped global warming!"

"With nuclear winter. But I suppose we saved the icebergs."

"You mean my toes?"

"Keep walking. It'll help circulation."

"And get us to the equator faster. Will we really find other survivors?"

"If radiation didn't turn them into mutants. Or frost giants."

"That's just more mythology...right?"

Trudging around a frozen outcrop, Temol wondered how they would find anything in such a barren land.
Ahead the form of the Giant Yundall, frozen in battle against the world serpent, broke through the blowing snow. 1 thing was clear: the hermitage of Buelatiga was only for the most of hermits.
It was said the peace & tranquility of this land, so completely devoid of nature, was unattainable elsewhere. But Temol knew the sound of the wind would haunt his dreams.

The was the worst of his kind, living on meager rations and a withering disdain for everyone he met.
The villagers deferred to him out of tradition and respect for their gods. All tolerated him at their tables, but he was never welcome.
Upon his death, he saw that by ignoring his fellow man had turned his face from god.
And now, god would return the favor .

The good news was that Kane’s success had gotten him noticed and recruited by a joint expedition. The bad news was that his new companions were ascetics who scavenged the mountains of the Frozen One. Would his prayers to Rithkaleen protect him in the domain of another deity? Kane shivered in the threadbare coat he had been given and hoped he wouldn’t need to find out.
