Setting

• Time Period: A blend of Viking Age and fantasy/mythic and untamed, where ancient gods, magic, and monsters still roam.
• World Details: The world, Vyrgarde, is vast and harsh. A land of icy fjords, sprawling pine forests, jagged mountains, and dark seas. Villages cling to the coasts and valleys, surviving through battle and the bounty of the land. Ruins of old gods and forgotten civilizations whisper of power and doom. Storms are seen as divine omens, and blood rites hold the fabric of life together.

Lore

The gods watch but seldom interfere. Tribes and clans vie for dominance while ancient threats—dragons, frost giants, and eldritch forces—begin to stir beneath the earth. The balance of power teeters, and warriors like Sigvar stand as a final defense against oblivion.
