Shores of Astirgard

One thousand thousand moons past, the Skald Kings, demagogues they are, drove our foremothers from the Shores of Astirgard. Our fell rites and degeneracy was unwelcome in their grand kingdom, they said. But as their glorious walled kingdom grew in all it’s loathsome conquering magnificence we did not cower in the filth they deigned for us.

We drew strength from each other and built our own great works. Not just of metal and magic but of story and song. And now, as the seas burn and the Skald Kings’ hegemonic ambitions outstrip their avaricious grasp, we shall storm the beaches of their precious golden city and tear down their fallow walls, burn their stolen thrones, and forge a new future without tyrants. For we are the eternal Einherjar of the Valkyrie Flotilla, and we shall never die because we are the spear held by the spirit of liberation.

The Shores of Astirgard is an unofficial setting module for Armour Astir: Advent and features everything needed to start a campaign in the original Shores of Astirgard setting. Including 2 mission hooks, 6 Cause factions, 3 Authority divisions, 5 Authority pillars, and 2 example schemes.
