Ashes and Faith

Crucible of Wills – Vote

The time of reckoning has arrived! The Nords and the Old Dominion reignite a centuries-old rivalry, with the Volva known as Faithbearer Reginleif leading an expedition to the ancient tomb city of Ierapetra – nestled underneath the haunted lands of the Old Dominion. Within the necropolis, the Nords seek a mythical being known as a Wælcyrge. A divine servant of the old and perished Nord pantheon, the Wælcyrge was instrumental in the creation of the god-like Einherjar in ages past, such a being carrying within it invaluable divine knowledge and secrets. In the Volva’s way stands the entombed Archimandrite known as Andronicus the Firebringer; a veteran of the Northern Crusades that once plagued Mannheim, this unliving preacher rises to confront those that dare encroach upon his mortuary sanctuary. Having taken the Wælcyrge, slumbering within a stasis pod, as a prize during his time in Mannheim, Andronicus now awakens to find the divine creature missing – stolen by the Nord intruders that have broken into his vast, subterranean home.

Now, the faded memory of Ragnarök stirs once more as the denizens of Ierapetra rally to face the thieving northmen. Desperate to escape the awakening necropolis, Reginleif rushes towards her fleet of ships, waiting to ferry her back to Mannheim, while Andronicus gives chase in an unyielding effort to reclaim his most treasured prize. Amidst dead and forgotten lands, the melody of clashing steel rings proud once more, with fate dictating that there can be only one victor! Will the Nords escape with their divine prize, or will the undead warriors of the Old Dominion halt the intruders and put them to the sword?
