Raiders are pragmatic people that value strength and bravery. Though their martial traditions are important to them they also pride themselves on ship building and their adherence to respecting their gods through divine traditions. The raiders live in small and medium sized clans, primarily in wooden fortresses inhabiting the inner continents and surrounding islands. The clans are often in conflict, if not outright war with one another. Raiders relish gaining glory and spoils—their reward in the present life for their bravery in battle.

• The Alljarl. Each clan has their own jarl but once every eight years they meet at a gathering on the float ing town of Drifthall to vote for an alljarl who loosely leads the united clans in times of conflict. The current alljarl is Mother Guhnbarg of the Hallharn.

• The Völv. Raider history is passed orally from generation to generation, which grants much respect to their elders who are stewards of knowledge. Most respected are the prophetic völv.

• Ragnarök. The völv have seen that this world, like the Lost Lands, is destined to end in a cataclysmic battle. Each day of a raider’s life is lived preparing for this inevitability.
