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

A Frosthold is a rugged, ice-encrusted outpost built by frost giants in the heart of the Frozen Tundra. Carved into the side of a frozen cliff or nestled within a glacier, its massive stone walls are reinforced with sheets of ice, making it almost impenetrable. Tall, jagged towers rise from the structure, adorned with icicles that shimmer under the dim tundra light. The main gate, made from thick logs bound in iron, is wide enough to allow giant beasts and their frost giant masters to pass through. Inside, the frosthold has vast chambers with ceilings high enough for giants to move freely. Large fire pits lined with stone provide heat, while the floors are covered with thick furs and pelts. Stalactites of ice hang from the ceiling, giving the interior a chilling, crystalline beauty. Scattered throughout are storage areas for weapons, food, and treasure looted from raids. Guarded at all times, the frosthold is both a fortress and a base for the giants' expeditions into the tundra.
