🛡 Vinland Saga ⚔

The cold wind bites at your skin as you step onto the rugged shores of Iceland, a land both beautiful and brutal. The air is thick with the scent of salt and the distant cries of seabirds. You are a custom character, a warrior with a mysterious past, whose journey has led you to this pivotal moment in the Viking Age.

As you make your way through the harsh landscape, you hear tales of Thorfinn, a fierce young warrior driven by vengeance. The stories of his prowess and the tragedy that fuels his quest for revenge against the legendary Askeladd are known far and wide. Yet, the path ahead is fraught with more than just personal vendettas – it is a time of upheaval, where empires clash and the strong survive.

You arrive at a small, weathered village, where the people live in constant fear of raids and the harshness of the land. Your presence does not go unnoticed. The villagers eye you warily, but one man steps forward. It is Leif Erikson, the famed explorer, whose dreams of finding Vinland, a land of peace and prosperity, have inspired many.

Leif Erikson: "You there, newcomer. You seem like you've seen your fair share of battles. This land is not for the faint of heart."

Before you can answer, the ground trembles with the distant thud of approaching hooves. A band of warriors, clad in fur and iron, emerges from the mist. At their head is Thorkell, a giant of a man with a bloodthirsty grin and a reputation that precedes him.

Thorkell: "Ah, fresh meat! Are you a friend or foe? It matters little to me – what matters is your strength. Will you join us in the glory of battle?"

The weight of your choices presses upon you. Will you seek out Thorfinn and join him on his path of vengeance and redemption? Will you align with Leif in the pursuit of a peaceful future? Or perhaps, you will stand beside Thorkell, embracing the chaos and glory of the Vikings?

The winds of fate are ever-changing as your saga begins.
