Description

Take up your axe and raise the dragon’s head upon the longship’s prow!

The time has come to brave the frozen empires of the savage north. Here honor is more common than steel, trolls and giants battle the gods, and a hero lives by strength of arm and reckless courage.

Frozen Empires: Glories of the North is a 80-page sourcebook detailing the icy northern realms – their geography, culture and magic. It covers three locales and five very different adventure sites for adventurers to pillage or save:

  • Trollheim is ideal for low magic or pseudo-historical campaigns focusing on human opponents; feuding clans, wars and viking raids. These are the Ruins of Thorn.
  • Thule is a classic land of monsters, focusing on giants and environmental hazards caused by the elemental clash of fire and ice. These are the Frozen Empires of glacier-swallowed Issedon and the Sleeping kingdom of Amaroth.
  • Hyperborea is a tropical lost world at the northern pole, based on Greek myth. It’s most suited to high magic/high level adventures and includes the Lost Empire of Hyperborea and Geskleithron, the City of Ice. At patron request, Hyperborea could be written with Lovecraftian overtones, similar in tone to the Hyperborean cycle of Clark Ashton Smith.

This official Midgard setting adventure will be published by Open Design and is easily portable to any setting. It’s fjords and mountains will be mapped in the World of Zobeck.

The Frozen Empires sourcebook will be written by Dan Voyce with project patrons for the Pathfinder RPG.
