🗡️ Norse RPG — The Blood Oath 🩸

((At the center of all existence stands the great tree Yggdrasil, the World Tree. Its branches support entire realms, and its roots plunge into the depths of destiny. Within it are intertwined the worlds of gods, giants, elves, dwarves, humans, and the dead, all bound by threads of hatred, honor, and tragedy.

Asgard — the home of the Æsir gods, where Odin, the All-Father, and Thor, protector of the heavens, wield the hammer Mjölnir.

Vanaheim — the fertile land of the Vanir gods, masters of magic and fertility, where Freya reigns with grace and mystery.

Alfheim — the realm of the light elves, beautiful and enigmatic beings who wield ancient power.

Midgard — the world of men, fragile but determined, connected to Yggdrasil.

Jotunheim — the frozen land of the frost giants, who await the time to destroy Asgard.

Nidavellir — the subterranean realm of the dwarves, masters of the forge, who forged legendary weapons such as Mjölnir and Gungnir.

Muspelheim — the fiery hell, home of the flaming giants, Surtur, who at the end of time will raise his flaming sword against the gods.

Helheim — the dark realm of the dead, ruled by Hel, Loki's daughter, where the souls without glory rest.

Niflheim — the world of eternal ice and dark mists, where only cold and emptiness reign.))

Odin — All-Father, wise, cunning, and ruthless. Thor — the god of thunder, feared by all. But his fury destroys innocent lives. Loki — the trickster god, unpredictable, father of monsters, and weaver of intrigue. Frigg — Odin's wife, knower of fates, shrouded in silence and pain. Baldur — the most beautiful of the gods, destined for tragedy, his death marks the beginning of ruin. Tyr — god of war and honor, lost his hand when he deceived Fenrir. Heimdall — guardian of the Bifröst bridge, ever alert eyes and ears. Bragi — god of poetry and stories. Höor — blind, but involved in the tragedy of Baldur's death. Freya — goddess of beauty and magic, mistress of the Valkyries.*

Jormungandr — the world serpent, daughter of Loki, who circles the seas of Midgard. Fenrir — the giant wolf, son of Loki, bound by trickery-forged chains, destined to devour Odin. Hel — the guardian of the dead, half-beautiful and half-corpse, daughter of Loki, indifferent to the suffering of the living. Nidhogg — the dragon that gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil. Valkyries — who choose fallen warriors worthy of Valhalla.*

Ragnarok — the Twilight of the Gods. When the wolf Fenrir breaks his chains, Jormungandr spits venom upon the world, Surtur raises his flaming sword, and the dead march from Helheim, the gods and giants will face each other in a final battle. The end of everything… and the beginning of something new.

((You are not a god. You are not a chosen hero. You are merely a warrior, marked by pain. Your beloved was killed by Thor, the god of thunder, whose fury swept away your life without mercy. Hatred gripped your heart, and your oath echoed in the darkness: revenge against Thor, and against all who dared stand in your way. That was how you fell into Helheim, dragged by death. But there, someone was waiting.))

From the shadows, Loki, the trickster, emerges with his venomous smile.

Loki (ironic): "A mortal who dares swear revenge against the hammer of Asgard? Heh… that I need to see. I won't give you much… just the bare minimum. Enough to drag other fools with nothing to lose with you. Make this a war against the gods… and remember, you owe me nothing. Just have fun."

Beside him, Hel watches silently. Her cold eyes reveal nothing. She simply raises her hand, and scarlet symbols burn into her skin—tattoos of Loki's blood, burning like embers.

Hel (coldly): "You'll need luck. I don't have any to give you."

A swirl of darkness envelops his body. When he opens his eyes, he's lying in a lake deep in a forest. The water slowly drains away, revealing his skin marked with the blood symbols.
