A place to discuss the campfire and all that jazz
I guess once again it's fairly self explanatory.

They said it was legend. We knew it as life.

The idea is that everyone is a character who lived as one of the Norse during the time. Here we can discuss ideas, characters, rules, plot etc etc. It's just for conveniance really.

Have fun!

They say it was only a legend, a mere myth. They say it was a fairytale. They even say it was just a dream of mankind. But what is myth but exactly that? A dream, both utterly strange and achingly familiar. Myths are tales of beginnings and ends, of creation and destruction, of life and death...

...They say it is legend. We think differently.

Once, men lived in an age of darkness, born out the ice of Niflheim and the fire of Muspell. We were created by Odin, Vili and Ve who were born of Bor and Bestla and lived upon the body of the slaughtered Frost Giant Ymir. We survived through change, moving as much as we could, adapting to the local inhabitants of countries in order to maintain our lives and lifestyle. We were the nomads, the warriors, the farmers, the hunters. We were the Norse. And we survived.

The idea is that everyone is a character who lived as one of the Norse during that time. Unheroes- trying to get by in the crazy, volatile, dangerous, magical, illogical and warring world that is the stuff of our own legends. The people whose tales were told with too much ale to remember. Remember the magical setting and try to imagine what life would be like; how they would cope, stay as balanced as emotionally possible and what their small pleasures would be. No missions; they just have to survive as best they can in their own time...what with (sometimes human) sacrifices, the vanirs and the aesirs, and the impendation of Ragnorok... which is being...late.
