Why not offer Sagas of Midgard players the chance to record their characters in similar style? The majority of surviving illuminated manuscripts are from the middle ages and of a religious nature they were an art form that these Christian scholars recording Viking history and mythology were likely to have practiced. Much of the written history of the Vikings we have now is through the efforts of Christian scholars during the Middle Ages, from which we have Illuminated Manuscripts.Īn illuminated manuscript is a text enhanced through miniature illustrations, borders, and decorative script. They were not a particularly bookish bunch and so history and mythology was passed along almost exclusively through storytelling tradition and inscribed rune-stones. We certainly underestimated how badly you guys wanted the apocalypse, and funded our first stretch goal almost immediately! But since we’ve just gotten started here, why don’t we take a look at sprucing up our already fully-fillable PDF character sheet with our next stretch goal, the Hand-Drawn, Fully Fillable Illuminated Manuscript Character Sheet? Illuminated What-now?įrom Leah Porter, our Art Director: Despite the heavy footprint (axe print?) the Vikings may have left upon the world around them, they did little to record all that on their own. “Twilight of the Gods”, featuring full, scripted scenes and unforgettable encounters, was unlocked on February 4th! Stretch Goal Two: Hand Drawn, Fully Fillable Illuminated Manuscript Character Sheets (Looted on February 5th)! If it truly is the end, you will go to rest once more in the service of the Gods, and if any remain after the battle, you will fight with such ferocity that they will remember you. You spent your entire life succeeding in the face of impossible odds. It falls to you, your fellow Einherjar, and the Gods to defend Valhalla on the field of Vigrid.Īs Midgard falls into destruction, you stand on the field of battle before impossible odds, but you are not afraid. The fire-giants of Muspelheim march upon Asgard. Loki and his sons have broken their chains, and the sky falls to black. Now, as one of the Einherjar in Valhalla, you know it is your final sacred duty to defend Asgard when the end comes.Īnd, indeed, it seems the end has come. Due to your valor and service to the Gods, you were delivered to Odin’s Hall. In your time, you were a fearsome and beloved Hero you honored the Gods and fought well for them before finally succumbing to your destiny. In the midst of this clash and din the heavens are rent in twain, and the sons of Muspel come riding through the opening. The Midgard-serpent vomits forth venom, defiling all the air and the sea he is very terrible, and places himself by the side of the wolf. He would open it still wider had he room. The Fenris-wolf advances with wide open mouth the upper jaw reaches to heaven and the lower jaw is on the earth.
