Land of Fire and Ice
 |
Visit a land of wonders...
a place where glaciers stretch to the horizon¸ where fissures pour forth rivers of molten rock¸ where giants still tread and ancient spirits guard forgotten secrets. Iceland sits on the edge of the frozen sea¸ its people clinging to the coastal lowlands while the interior is still the realm of the giants¸ trolls¸ spirits and fantastic beasts. On the civilized mainland creatures of legend may rarely show themselves¸ but in Iceland they rarely hide. Within Europe the Order of Hermes holds absolute magical dominion¸ but Icelandic magicians go about their business unaware of the Order of Hermes¸ its magi and their pretensions. These Norse wizards concern themselves with the politics of spirits¸ warding against troll raids and wresting a good growing season from Icelands capricious weather.
Land of Fire and Ice gives your troupe the opportunity to explore this wondrous land ruled by the law¸ rather than by a king. Magicians live in harmony with their mundane neighbors¸ but feuds bubble under the veneer of civilization. * A detailed description of Icelands mundane and mystical landscape¸ culture and law * Two major saga outlines and many story seeds * Two magical traditions unique to Iceland¸ the galdramen and the trollsons
