Gather round, viking brethren;

lay down your axes, your hammers

and lend me your ear,

for I have heard from the moon-kin

that an ancient burial ground

lies encircled by massive stones

once thought vacant, but nay -

a hoard of treasure awaits,

gathered by the work of a cultist

who once prowled these meadows

seeking pelts and blood

to hide their unnatural form

and live amongst us.

Buried alongside the treasure lies the graves

of those who sought to fell this beast;

be weary, as their bones still stir,

and the cultist - while well fed -

still thirsts for unburnt flesh.

Recently joined a new Valheim server that has been so lovely that I decided to start a bit of a campaign...thought it would be fun to share my work here as well! (:

You can check out EasyBoarder's YouTube and Twitch channels to watch the fun!

And of course, if you love the idea of an open-world survival crafting game inspired by Norse Mythology, give Valheim a try!
