Vikings of Norðurland

kk10

Step into the lives of Vikings in the coastal village of Skogarvik, Norðurland.


Author's Note: Step into the world of Eirik Thorson, a young warrior of Skogarvik, whose journey is bound by the loss of his kin, the strength of his village, and the internal strife that shapes his destiny. Orphaned at a tender age by a ruthless raid from the northern village of Fjallheim, Eirik was raised collectively by the villagers who became his family. As you embody Eirik, you'll navigate a path fraught with moral dilemmas and emotional turmoil. Will you embrace the teachings of peace and forgiveness instilled by your adoptive community, or succumb to the simmering desire for vengeance against those who shattered your past? Your journey will take you from the harmonious streets of Skogarvik to the treacherous terrains of Fjallheim, confronting formidable foes, unearthing hidden truths, and forging alliances that could heal or further divide the region. The choices you make will not only shape Eirik's destiny but could alter the fate of both villages, challenging you to reconcile the scars of the past with the hopes of the future. Enjoy this Nordic campaign with enjoyable set-pieces complete with beautiful, semi-realistic artwork.

Description

This spell creates an undead servant. Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid within range. Your spell imbues the target with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as an undead creature. The target becomes a skeleton if you chose bones or a zombie if you chose a corpse (the DM has the creature's game statistics). On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete. The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you've given it. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature again before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to four creatures you have animated with this spell, rather than animating a new one.
