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.

Raise Dead

Necromancy•Level 5

Description

You return a dead creature you touch to life, provided that it has been dead no longer than 10 days. If the creature's soul is both willing and at liberty to rejoin the body, the creature returns to life with 1 hit point. This spell also neutralizes any poisons and cures nonmagical diseases that affected the creature at the time it died. This spell doesn't, however, remove magical diseases, curses, or similar effects; if these aren't first removed prior to casting the spell, they take effect when the creature returns to life. The spell can't return an undead creature to life. This spell closes all mortal wounds, but it doesn't restore missing body parts. If the creature is lacking body parts or organs integral for its survival-its head, for instance-the spell automatically fails. Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a -4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every time the target finishes a long rest, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears.
