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 Iceveil Tribe is a nomadic group roaming the Frozen Tundra, following the migration of reindeer herds. Adapted to the harsh climate, they wear layered clothing of animal hides and fur, stitched to provide warmth and mobility. Their skin is wind-burned, and their eyes are trained to spot life in the icy landscape. They live in portable, dome-shaped shelters made of hides stretched over bone frames, allowing for quick relocation to avoid severe storms. The tribe’s survival depends on hunting, fishing, and foraging for moss and roots beneath the snow. Using sleds and trained wolves, they transport gear across the plains. Spiritual by nature, the Iceveil conduct rituals under the open sky, led by shamans who commune with snow spirits and ancestors. They prefer peace but are fierce defenders of their people, wielding bone-tipped spears and ice axes crafted from the frozen terrain.
