Author: Andrew Valkauskas

Brand: Pendelhaven

Features:

• Immersive Viking Saga: Dive into the rich lore and epic tales of the ancient Viking sagas and mythology. The game is deeply researcged in history and myth, making the Eddas (prose and poetic) as well as the sagas (Icelandic, Norse, Danish, etc) canon in the Fate of the Norns universe.
• Runic Game System: Utilize the unique RGS with Elder Futhark rune stones to cast spells and engage in tactical combat. RGS keep math small and simple, so the focus of playing the game are player actions and reactions rather than heavy math rules.
• Heroic Archetypes & Monsters: Each player may choose from 5 archetypes, each with distinct abilities and roles within their adventuring group. The GameMaster (Norn) has 22 monster with deep customization.
• Valor and Afterlife: During your adventures, strive to become a memorable hero of legend… for when you eventually die, there is a chance the Valkyries choose you as the next Einherjar in Valhalla, and you as a player will level up. Player level (unlike character level) unlocks new perks when you creature any future characters.
• Visceral Combat: Engage in visceral, tactical combat that requires strategic thinking and skillful rune casting.
