📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

How do heroic honor and fatal betrayal lead an entire era to its doom?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I first faced the death of Siegfried and Kriemhild's blood-soaked revenge, I was utterly overwhelmed by the grandeur and savagery of the saga. Without any intervention of the gods, human greed, jealousy, and loyalty entwine to forge a vast tragedy, revealing the very essence of the epic. The world of medieval knights, who stake everything for honor, unfolds before us in vivid life.
