There are stories in the Norse universe that the Eddas didn't tell. Stories of brave Viking warriors, of looting orchestrated by jarls of great renown, or simply of more tricks carried out by Loki, the god of trickery. Some of these stories will now be in your hands!
Nordic Tales vol. 1 is the first book in a series that brings several tales from the peoples of northern Europe: the famous Vikings. Written by different authors, each of the tales tells a fantastic story, set in a historical and mythological universe, which involves the gods of the Nordic pantheon, their legendary creatures and their people, with a warrior and reckless vocation.
Board the fabulous Viking ships and sail through the furious and icy waters of the north, meeting incredible and unimaginable stories!
Nordic Tales vol. 1 is an anthology of short stories based on the Viking universe. Each tale brings a unique and never-before-seen story involving the peoples of Northern Europe and their mythology. The tales were written by several different authors and are independent of each other. However, all the tales have the same background, in which the legends and myths existing in the Edda – ancestral poems that narrate the stories of Norse gods and heroes – are now reality.
The stories in this book originate in the setting of the RPG Vikings: Warriors of the North. A universe in which the nine worlds that were situated around the universal tree, Yggdrasil, have now become just one, causing the Norse peoples to coexist with the mythological entities that previously lived isolated in their own worlds. That's why the environment of Nordic Tales is so rich in mythological and historical references from that cold and inhospitable universe.
in all are 13 short storieswritten by enthusiasts of Norse mythology and the stories of wars and invasions of the Viking period. Through these tales the reader will be able to travel through unexplored lands, feel the bitterness of the climate and wild nature of that region and, above all, experience heroic moments through the warriors of the north!
