The Draug is greedy for wondrous madhoms with which to bedeck his great barrow-hall. And greedy, too, for a long life of fair, strong ever-youth. And for these he will plunder the Land, and suck the life-blood from the Living, and wield dark Searucraft to live well, live long, and to raise himself above all Life, wreaking waste-land all about him and far and wide, for he cares only for his own life and the things he wants.
Draug: Persian drauga= demon, Old Norse draugr= a monster much like that described here.
Madhom= a treasure. (OEng madhum)
