Legends - Vikings
 |
An expansion which can be used for Dark Age: Legends (available here) or for Dark Age: Bushido (available here)
The formidable Vikings make a fulfilling addition to any Adventure. Brutal but observant¸ intelligent but ruthless¸ the Vikings were an enigma to those who did not care to earn their respect.
In an alternate history where the Viking culture resisted conversion to Christianity¸ their true potential may become revealed. Will time temper the hearts of these fearsome warriors¸ or will a renewed zeal for the Old Norse ways spur them onward?
Included within this Expansion are four new Vocational Axioms (Classes) giving access to 19 new Techniques/Traits. There are also new Weapons and Armour to add to the existing Dark Age armoury.
---------------------------
In 1132 the seafaring peoples known as the Vikings are thriving. Being the last European power to reject Christianity¸ their methods of survival have intensified. Though the remnents of the Danelaw in England are diminishing¸ the Vikings have kept a unified Scandinavia¸ banding together to resist Christendom and those who serve the Pope.
King Magnus IV of Scandinavia has issued a decree that those who who are able to gain a sustainable foothold and restore the glory days of Viking conquest on foreign shores¸ shall be rewarded with titles¸ lands¸ and their seat in Valhalla.
The subject of derision from the rest of the Known World due to the percieved brutality of their methods¸ the Vikings share an uneasy peace with their European and Russian neighbours.
With trade routes secure to distant Eastern lands and settlements as far afield as across the Atlantic Sea¸ the potential for a new Viking expansion is clear.
