I was planning on reading cool passage snipets from sagas whenever I use my inspiration abilities in combat, but I'm discovering that the sagas are much more like histories than an epic like the Iliad or Aeneid. No flare or heroic writing. So other than a few instances of Thor killing giants in the myths of the gods I'm screwed.
So I'm going to run out of material real quick. Any ideas? I'm pretty disappointed in the sagas. What about the Poetic Edda?
