Discover The Horrors Foretold
Long ago, there stood a kingdom of Valdova…
It's denizens were granted a rare source of magic. A power acquired not by runes nor ghostly chants, but by bloodline. This line can be traced back to the strongest and most cunning of the First Men... The First Men were those who inhabited this land, subservient to the gods. They toiled and struggled to survive in the wild, but they wanted more…
The men grew envious of the gods and lusted for their power of creation and ability to shape the world as they saw fit. So they began to conspire...
Olaf, the First King of the First Men, allied with other great warriors. They planned a conquest to sneak into the mountain of Gods to steal a vial of Odin’s blood. They organized an offering to the great God Odin, barrels of the finest mead, and women aplenty. After indulging in all of the offerings Odin fell into a deep slumber…
Olaf moved carefully into Odin's chamber and harvested blood from the slumbering God. Olaf with spoils in tow escaped the mountain of the Gods and after drinking the blood proceeded to gain extraordinary powers. With this new power, Olaf had begun to usher in a new age, the age of men... an age of power and safety for Valdova.

A New World Order
The Gods, inspired by Olaf's strength, cunning, and success came to the celebration and rewarded him for his strength and bravery. Never has a mere man performed such feats and came back alive. They granted the power of magic to life through his bloodline forevermore, so that generations can benefit from the power.
However, as the God’s knew, great power comes with difficult choices, some will choose to create a world of peace and prosperity for us all, and there are those who wish to use it to control the world for their own selfish needs.
With Olaf's power, he forged a new empire, uniting all men under his banners. Some resisted but none could do so for long. With his armies and the power granted to him by the blood of the Gods, he united the land under his rule. A new world, controlled by those with the blood of Gods in their veins. Despite the unyielding power of Olaf, Valdova experienced an era of peace and prosperity from magic, with respect to the lives that were lost along the way.
With all this power, it did not keep men from aging, and Olaf succumbed to that which man cannot overcome. The power continued through his family tree, his legacy preserved.
This new world was not loved by all, the bloodshed caused by this unattainable power bred hatred from those without it. Dødsbringeren, who as a boy lost his family and village to a tyrant magical King, became the leader of the resistance known as The Foretold. He assassinated King Hel, a descendant of King Olaf, and drank the blood of the tyrant in hopes to acquire the power to free the people of Valdova who live in fear of such power, to use their own power against them...
However, this was not what the Gods had promised, and seeing their gift be stolen again, stirred their vengeance. Odin Cursed the blood as it passed over the lips of Dødsbringeren and his men. Those who drank deeply began to lose their minds, and find themselves resorting to baseless savagery. Those afflicted with this blood curse found themselves hungry for more blood. However, through luck or pure hatred, Dødsbringeren maintained his consciousness, but still had the hunger. These new beings of hunger and hate became known as the Foretold.
