Midgard logo

The Norse hail from the northern kingdom of Midgard, comprising the modern-day region of Scandinavia. They are generally stocky in build, strong, and not quite as civilized as inhabitants of the other Realms. However, when it comes to fighting, the Norse are equaled by none. Traditionally, the races of Midgard do not cooperate fully, but in this time of conquest and danger, they have put aside their differences to fight their common enemies. The Norse races are the standard human Viking, the large strong Troll, the short hardy Dwarf, and the small crafty Kobold.

Norse magic comes almost exclusively from their gods, from Odin, Thor, and Hel. Trolls and Kobolds can also choose to become the wild Shaman, a primitive mental-based magic user.

The Vikings are the humans of Midgard, and as such are tall, hale, hardy, but generally not as civilized as humans from other Realms. The Trolls are large fearsomely strong creatures who make great fighters. The Dwarves are stocky and wise, making good priests and fighters. The Kobolds are smaller than dwarves, but much quicker and more dexterous.

Ours is the harshest of lands, and we are bred from strife and hardship. Aye, and our power is the power of the old gods - of Odin and Thor and all the Aesir - and of the Jotun, the great giants of lore. Norseman, Troll, Dwarf, Kobold, and our more recent allies the Valkyn and Frostalf, have joined knowledge and strength to unite the mighty forces of Midgard, and we all look upon the rich lands of Hibernia and Albion with some eagerness and hunger. They are soft and weak and spoiled by easy lives, and we mean to take their green lands for our own. Our weapons are sharp, our warriors fearless, and we carry the gods' own magic in our hearts as well as our swords and axes. We will crush those who think to stand against us. Our warriors will perform countless heroic deeds, songs will spring up like stars in the heavens, and those that fell will find their place in the glorious halls of Valhalla. Truth is power, and power truth. Remember that, and lift your sword high in defens of Midgard!

Races of Midgard[]

The Norse people are a stout race, hardened by the harsh landscape and cold winters of Midgard. They will fervently fight against any invaders who threaten their homeland. They are an adaptable race that can learn all styles of fighting and most magic types.
The oldest race in Midgard, Dwarves are steadfast in their devotion to the elder gods and finer ales, and are the backbone of Midgard's armies. Originally from deep caverns beneath the earth, this durable race lives and fights alongside the other races of Midgard against the forces of Hibernia and Albion. They are equally good at fighting, healing or hunting.
Trolls, with their rock-like camouflaged skin, emerged from the mountains of Midgard to help their friends, the Norsemen. Trolls are large fearsome creatures with a strong constitution and natural strength which makes them excellent fighters for the realm.
Mischievous, quick, and small, although the Kobolds often act as scouts for the armies of Midgard, many are also attracted to the mystical runic arts. Others sometimes choose to serve as fighters on the front lines of battle, relying on their great speed and dexterity to offset their diminutive size.
Having revolted against the oppressive rule of their brutal Morvalt lords on their homeland of Aegir, the Valkyn now fight alongside their Midgard allies against the forces of Hibernia and Albion. They are a tribal people who excel in the arts of fighting and stealth. They were responsible for teaching the people of Midgard how to call upon the bones.
The Frostalf are distant relatives of the Svartalfar who have been sent in to exile long ago. What started as a chance encounter turned in to a cohesive alliance, and the Frostalf people have chosen to unite with the races of Midgard to protect their homeland from the Hibernian and Albion invaders.
The Minotaur, distinguishable by their bull-like heads atop powerful human bodies, are the remnants of an ancient civilization whose different clans are scattered across the realms. The Uruz-Deifang settled in Midgard. Minotaur are combative by nature and do not shy away from any clash of arms.
