Product overview
Expanding historical and mythic sagas across the Norse world, the book delivers four standalone adventures, a connected multi-session mini-campaign, character creation guidelines for diverse human cultures (such as Byzantine Greeks, Scots, Irish, and Slavs), rules for nonhuman characters (like dwarfs, elves, and sealskins), Norse divine powers, conversion mechanics for Christianity, and a comprehensive bestiary.
Standalone Adventures and Multi-Session Campaign
The companion provides four complete standalone scenarios suitable for one-shots or insertion into ongoing campaigns, alongside a cohesive short campaign. The book also details the Eastern Stronghold Fjord region and provides a fast one-roll generator for creating detailed Icelandic settlements and community relationships.
Expanded Cultures, Divine Powers, and Bestiary
Players gain character creation rules for Byzantine Greeks, Finns, Irish, Slavs, Scots, and English, alongside mythic options like sealskins and ravens. The text details divine Norse gifts, rules for religious conversion or forsaking the gods, and a bestiary of historical and mythical creatures.
