The ancient Norse had a very different view of the nature of vampires and their origins. To them, vampires are the Blood Chosen of Odin (einherjar) pursuing Valhalla on Earth in preparation for Ragnarok. Tell them they are descended from the kin slayer Caine at your peril. At their height, Norse vampire jarls (lords) ruled openly with their blood servants as huskarls (fighting men sworn to a lord) and oaths in both directions. Life was harsh in the far North and unlife no less so. Come join one such jarl in ancient Iceland as he and his village try to survive the harsh winter. Be aware that most of the characters in this game are NOT vampires but being Norse, they are no less dangerous. But then again, so is the land in which they live.
