Introduction

Valgard is a kingdom of honor and strength as the weak will never make it through a winter, and your work is all that keeps you separated from the animals. As one enters this kingdom they see a land that is frozen in time, things change little from season to season as there is only a short time to build, and to work the land, the buildings that are built are built to last hundreds of years. A family can live in the same house for several generations. The buildings are made of huge stones, and great logs sealed from the elements by rock dust, and a special plant from the sea. As this is a trade secret you will never find out what this plant is that turns the mortar harder then granite, and still bond with the logs. The only people who know this secret are the stonemasons and the Völva as they are the keepers of the wisdom of the kingdom. The different Clans that are around seem to never quite get along, as they even seem to feel the need to worship there one god in several different ways. The one thing that unites the clans more solidly then even brother-sister, mother-daughter, or father-son is open war. Of all the races this is the one that does not know the word surrender. This has more to do with surviving the harsh winters then stubbornness, or pride. To surrender means death.
