On Wild Lands and Wild Folk
Welcome Wanderer to the Blood-Clans of Jorikk! The warrior-gods Falkkr and Vorr call you hence. To take up your horn and fill it with ale¸ pour in also the blood of elk¸ wolf¸ and man¸ and drink deeply in oaths of brotherhood¸ war¸ and vengeance. The old heroes call you also¸ ashen-faced from ages long passed¸ to hear their legends sjald-sung in the mead-hall. To feel the heart-stir of memories rekindled by a wolf's howl. Memories borne upon the deepening hum of a war-horn rung out in the dawn¸ and faded by the black stain of blood on a pebbled shore. "We raise our horn to you¸ Wanderer. May the yearning of spirit call you¸ and the pull of wanderlust bring you¸ unto a distant northern shore¸ where man contends with fate and the gods for a name. Skrrol!" This PDF is an introduction to the Blood Clans of Jorikk. As an RPG campaign setting¸ this grim landscape provides a Nordic home all but limitless in its scope and possibility. While integrally part of the greater HackMaster world of Tellene¸ the remote expanse of the Lake Jorakk Wilderness makes it possible to run a purely Nordic story with whatever Tabletop Fantasy RPG system you might like to use. Indeed¸ these books have been lovingly written for any GM or Player wanting to sink their teeth into a setting inspired heart-and-soul by the myth and legend of the Old Norse and the Vikings.
