Ragnarok: Norse Mythology Inspired set
- Description: A harsh, but inhabitable frozen plane is collapsing on itself. Inhabitants at the edges of the plane are all migrating, moving closer to the perceived center of the world as the outer rims dissolve into nothingness. As the world shrinks, clans and races are forced closer and closer; war erupts as territory and resources shrink.
- Wildlings. Vikings. Ships that sail on air. Frost giants. Dwarves. Runes. Axes. Sagas. Valkyries.
- Mechanic: Snow. Combat mechanics. Land sacrifice abilities, showing how the world is shrinking.
Ideas
- A tribe of runesmiths that have managed to isolate the collapse of their territory. Precariously stitched runestones crisscross their lands, and even disrupting these stones a little will cause the total collapse of that area.
- By observing the planar collapse at the outer rims, most tribes have pinpointed the "center" of the apocalypse. There is much speculation as to what is in the center of their world.
- A clan that lives and rides on flying ships, traveling to the center of the world
- Doomsday cults of all shapes and sizes have popped up, promising various means to salvation
- The cause of this collapse may or may not be centered on the Jotun, descendants of ancient gods
