Ultima Thule: Mythic Scandinavia
Ultima Thule: Mythic Scandinavia is the sourcebook of Norway¸ Sweden¸ Denmark¸ Iceland¸ and Greenland. It describes the denizens of these lands¸ delving into their culture¸ rulers¸ customs¸ calendar¸ myths¸ and deities. It talks about their often-violent relationships with Mythic Europe"s other nations - England¸ Ireland¸ Scotland¸ and Russia¸ to name but a few. Scandinavian mythology is covered extensively¸ from otherworldly places to gods¸ creatures¸ and races. Ultima Thule is more than a background manual¸ though. It provides exhaustive rules for Norse character creation. In addition to rules for grogs and companions¸ new mystic companions are introduced. The vitkir are runemasters who draw their might from chiseled and drawn characters of power. A completely new system of magic is presented that allows these characters to loose the power of the runes. Finnish wind wizards are also presented; they provide a new twist on weather magic.
