According to Norse legend… the Web of Wyrd is the matrix of fate in which all realms and timelines are manifestly interconnected.
------------------------------------------------------
The Web is woven by two ethereal weaving sisters, Eartha and Verthandi. They diligently weave the threads that keep the world’s many different dominions intact and in their rightful place.
But there is a third sister, Skuld. Skuld is the malevolent spider goddess whose single aim is to undo that which her sisters create. As Skuld tears holes in the Web, the very fabric of existence is threatened by chaos and disorder. And worse still, Skuld is ably assisted by her Shield Maidens. They are the otherworldly warrior women who patrol the Web ensuring no one interferes with Skuld’s corrupt work.
The gods of Asgard are concerned that the corporeal world is about to collapse into anarchy. Skuld must be stopped and the Web must be repaired. They demand that a hero from the mortal world comes forth... to travel through perilous realms… to repair the torn Web… and to triumph over the troublesome spider goddess. As reward, the conquering hero will be granted access into Asgard, the home of the gods… and given the gift of immortality.
You are a Norseman, a Viking adventurer… and your home village has chosen you to answer the call of the gods. You must begin your journey from within the Halls of Men and seek entry into the next realm and beyond. Repair the torn Web as you make your way towards the Bifrost Bridge… and try to avoid the wretched Skuld. Use your strength, acumen and sorcery to smooth the path ahead, whilst thwarting those who dare to stand against you.
The prize is immortality. But know this. Other courageous Vikings will contest your right to such a reward. The first and only adventurer to defeat Skuld upon the Bifrost Bridge will be granted entry into Asgard and an eternal home therein... amongst the gods.
