More than a century ago, the gods of the Nine Realms began turning against one another in conflicts that surpassed even mortal understanding. From Asgard to Helheim, tensions grew around the World Tree, Yggdrasil, whose roots held together the fragile balance between the realms. Odin, the Allfather, understood that these divisions would inevitably lead to the destruction of the worlds... and to Ragnarök itself.

In an attempt to break this prophetic fate, he made a desperate choice. In secret, he used the forbidden Wyrd runes, an ancient form of magic capable of severing the connections between worlds. The bonds between gods and humans were shattered.

Yet this solution only delayed the inevitable.

Without the faith of mankind, the gods themselves would slowly fade away. And if the gods vanished, their realms would perish alongside them. Odin had not truly saved existence... he had merely bought time. Precious time during which humanity would have to achieve the impossible: reconnect with the gods and restore the balance before the final collapse.

In Midgard, the consequences were almost immediate. The old gods no longer answered. Prayers seemed to vanish into silence. Slowly, many Vikings abandoned the ancient beliefs and turned toward a new faith known as the “Green Faith,” maintained through wisdom and knowledge by an eccentric druid named Mikki Þríkungr.

This transition became especially visible in Skalvheim, a prosperous city open to the world and ruled by Jarl Mikal-Finnvard Arvast. A remarkably intelligent diplomat, Mikal-Finnvard maintained a fragile balance between the traditions of the Kingdom of Norway, which still worshipped the old gods, and the new beliefs that reassured his people. On the surface, he appeared fully in control. Yet behind his calm demeanor and carefully braided grey beard, the jarl knew that something within the world was breaking.

The jarl lived with his daughter Helena Arvast, a proud and strong-willed young woman known for her fiery temper. Helena had grown up beneath the shadow of her late mother, Ingrid, a respected woman whose death had left a deep wound within the family. For years, Helena carried a quiet resentment toward Min Shieldthrower, the jarl’s mysterious servant. Min came from the Iberian Peninsula and had been captured during a raid when she was still very young before eventually being taken into Skalvheim. Over time, she had become far more than a simple servant in the eyes of the jarl.

But Min was also the mother of Bruno, Mikal-Finnvard’s illegitimate son.

Helena had never truly accepted this reality. Even though she protected Bruno like a devoted sister, part of her still associated Min with the death of her own mother Ingrid, as though the arrival of this foreign woman had slowly fractured their family forever.

When Mikal-Finnvard sent Helena and Bruno toward the capital of the Kingdom of Norway in order to strengthen political ties with the royal court, their journey quickly took a strange turn.

At sea, Helena rescued a mysterious one-eyed wanderer named Mikell Skar. The man appeared to know far more than he claimed, especially regarding the gods and the forgotten realms.

A few nights later, Bruno experienced a terrifying dream in which he witnessed his own death. Upon waking, Helena discovered a strange black ring in his hand, adorned with a wolf-like figure resembling Fenrir himself. Yet the ring had not been there before.

The same phenomenon occurred again shortly afterward within the royal court.

While Helena was meeting the kingdom’s heir, Princess Skörta Eldrún, King Hakon Elrund suddenly died under circumstances eerily similar to Bruno’s vision. And within his hand rested the very same black ring.

Mikell Skar then revealed unsettling knowledge. According to him, despite the Wyrd runes, the connection between gods and mortals had never fully disappeared. He spoke of Fenrir, the ancient realms, and above all of Yggdrasil itself, which he believed still existed somewhere between the worlds.

However, finding it would require the help of an Andfuglsjá, a person capable of spiritually merging with ravens in order to see what remained hidden from human eyes.

Such beings were hunted and feared as witches.

But Skörta knew where to find one.

Herself.

In secret, the future queen performed a dangerous ritual to locate Yggdrasil, aided by her loyal cat Blíðkanelhjarti. Meanwhile, she quietly prepared both her departure and that of her allies.

On the road leading back toward Skalvheim, the royal drakkar was attacked. Torstein Orrisson, Skörta’s loyal bodyguard, was gravely wounded.

The druid Mikki Þríkungr was summoned to save him. Yet even he could only preserve Torstein in a state close to death. It was then that a divine intervention changed everything.

Eir, the goddess of healing, appeared mysteriously while Skörta’s cat rested calmly upon Torstein’s wound. Before the stunned eyes of everyone present, the injury vanished completely, leaving not even the faintest scar behind.

Within his unconscious dream, Torstein received a troubling vision: Eir might be his true mother.

At the same time, a strange man named Johannes Grøn-Ulv arrived in Skalvheim and entered the service of Jarl Arvast. Johannes clearly hid a far darker nature than he allowed others to see. Bruno immediately recognized him as the man from his nightmare, the one who had transformed into a monstrous wolf attempting to devour him from within.

Despite his mysterious presence, Johannes appeared willing to help the humans prevent the catastrophe that was approaching.

Meanwhile, Mikell Skar continued to reveal disturbing truths. He explained that he had once lived among the Jomsvikings and confessed that the eye he concealed allowed Loki himself to observe Midgard despite the power of the Wyrd runes.

At the same time, tensions between the gods continued to rise within the other realms.

In Helheim, Loki and his daughter Hel sought to free Fenrir in order to unleash chaos upon all worlds. Fenrir’s sons, Sköll and Hati, hunted Sol and Máni respectively in hopes of triggering the Fimbulvetr, the eternal winter that would announce Ragnarök.

In Asgard, Odin warned Eir that her interventions among humans were destabilizing the realms. Should the balance collapse entirely, Jörmungandr, the World Serpent and Loki’s final son, could awaken and devastate Midgard itself.

And so, the fate of the worlds no longer rested in the hands of the gods...

But in the hands of humankind.
