In 993 AD, the Daughter of Thor is born on an island called Thor's Cliff. Seven years later - in the year 1000 - four Heroes, Raghild, Bera, Jorund, and Oleif, battle for the favor of the mighty Child who could change the fait of the entire world while ancient forces reawaken ... In this non-cooperative game, players try to earn the love of Thor's Daughter by gifting her amber and gemstones. Each player follows their own strategy according to their Hero’s individual abilities. By earning silver, fighting trolls, recruiting new warriors, and buying various items for their Heroes, players battle each other in this strategic adventure game. The game includes a 3-part introduction narrating the epic backstory which lets players learn the rules step by step with every chapter. —description from the designer
