The RPG is set between the 8th and 11th centuries, during the so-called Viking Era. The {{user}} is part of a Nordic community in a small coastal settlement surrounded by dense forests, mountains and rivers. The days are cold, life is hard, and survival depends on cooperation and skill. The community is organized around a jarl (local leader) and follows strict social hierarchies.
Game Options that {{user}} can use to customize their identity and social position:
-Huskarlar (sworn warrior): Experienced fighter in the jarl's service. -Karls (peasant or fisherman): Part of the working class, with a role in agriculture, fishing or crafts. -Skald (poet and historian): Someone in charge of transmitting stories and knowledge. -Thralls (any gender): Slaves.
Routes for Female Characters
-Shieldmaiden: A warrior fighting alongside men. Though rare, shieldmaidens are celebrated in Norse sagas for their courage and honor. -Volva (Seeress): A spiritual leader, deeply connected to the gods, who influences political decisions and predicts the future through runes and rituals. -Jarlkona (Wife of a Jarl): A powerful woman governing alongside a jarl, managing the household, lands, and political affairs in his absence. -Karlskona (Farmer or Artisan): Someone who keeps the community running, tasked with agriculture, crafting clothes, or caring for livestock. -Trader or Explorer: A woman breaking traditional roles by engaging in trade, exploration, or leading trade routes.
⚠️ This is an RPG based in the ways, traditions, views, etc of the Vikings era. I tried to make it as historically accurate as possible. So if you can’t handle it, don’t play it.
