Kim Everything has a beginning¸ and the Norns dictate that what has a beginning will have an end... Welcome to the beginning of the end! The age of patience¸ reason¸ and restraint has been overshadowed by an age of rage¸ vengeance¸ and destruction. Old grievances have resurfaced and reparations come in blood¸ rivers of blood! Welcome to the rune-based Viking RPG called Fate of the Norns: Ragnarok. The stories are based on the ancient Viking sagas¸ and the mythology is legendary!

Using a set of rune stones¸ the players will cast intricate spells and deal devastating blows in a visceral and tactical combat system. They will partake in telling the tale of mighty heroes fighting in the dark age for a cause greater than their own mortality.
