Saga of the Northlands

V
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 Fyrisvellir Plain, stretching near the mighty Uppsala, is a land rich with history and legend. Here, warriors clash for glory, and kings fight for honor. The plains are said to be where Hrólf Kraki and his champions once battled, their deeds echoing through the sagas. Mighty burial mounds rise from the earth, marking the resting places of great chieftains and fallen warriors. Treasures lie beneath the soil: swords and shields forged by master smiths, rings of silver and gold, coins from distant lands, and runestones carved with tales of valor. The fields are also known for rituals and sacrifices to the gods, where sacred objects and offerings are buried as gifts to Odin and Freyja. Those who dare to dig deep in the soil may uncover relics of our forefathers, relics that speak of battles won, journeys taken, and lives devoted to the gods. The Fyrisvellir holds secrets that only the bravest or the wisest might seek.
