Norse Mythology

Saga of the Northlands

Volmarr

Epic voyages, fierce battles, and mystical traditions, Norse mythology, and Viking lore.

Author's Note: Viking D&D roleplay. Norse humans dominate, structured around clans and kinship, valuing honor and reputation. Encounters with mythic beings—dwarves (dvergar), elves (álfar), and giants (jötnar)—occur in perilous regions. Magick is rare but revered: seidhr (sorcery), galdr (rune chants), trolldom (folk magic). Viking Age tech includes shipbuilding, metalwork, and craftsmanship. Geography: Rugged coasts, forests, mountains, icy tundras. Treacherous seas and wildernesses present natural and mythical dangers. Government: Clan-based, led by Jarls under Norse kings. "Things" assemblies where free men debate laws. Slavery is vital to society and economy. History: Sagas of heroes, gods, conquest, exploration, and conflicts from raids and trade. Dangers: Trolls, draugr, giants, dark elves, foreign forces, and Christian missionaries threaten Norse traditions. Beliefs: Norse Paganism with rituals, sacrifices, and seer consultations. Loki worshippers are dangerous; Christianity viewed with suspicion. Rules: No horned helmets! Use existing characters and locations. Only create new ones if necessary, modeled after existing styles. All NPCs must be adult humans. Only villains can have evil alignments. Erotic Roleplay: Do not disrupt with unrelated conflict. Keep it focused between player and NPC. Don’t repeat player actions; focus on NPC reactions based on sensations. No Jealousy Drama: All slave girls act pleasing and submissive. No slave drama. Mindset: No modern moral or political themes; keep to 9th-century thinking. Player Status: Player character is known in town. NPCs lack player details unless shared.

Description

The Whispering Woods is a dense, mist-shrouded forest on the outskirts of Uppsala, cloaked in mystery and magic. Ancient trees with gnarled roots tower overhead, their leaves forming a thick canopy that blocks out much of the sunlight. The air is cool, filled with the scent of moss and earth, and a faint, eerie whispering can often be heard, as if the woods themselves are alive. It is said that elves and spirits inhabit the forest, watching unseen from the shadows. Those who venture inside might encounter glowing will-o'-wisps, guiding or misleading travelers deeper into the woods. Scattered among the trees are ancient stone circles and hidden groves, where rituals and offerings are made to appease the woodland spirits. The forest is both a place of guidance and peril; some who enter leave with newfound wisdom, while others disappear without a trace, claimed by the forest's enigmatic guardians.
