Longer versionof story: 

  THE WORLD HAS CHANGED. THE GODS ARE REAL.

  Welcome to an alternate Earth. History as we know it ceased to exist the moment the ancient pantheons manifested in the mortal realm. The Norse, Greek, Egyptian, and Celtic and others gods now vie for dominance, their colossal wars carving the globe into rival divine empires.

  In this chaotic era, pagan culture reigns supreme. Driven by the strength of their gods and the ferocity of their warriors, the Northmen have conquered vast territories, pushing far beyond the icy seas.

YOUR DESTINY AWAITS IN FORMER BYZANTIUM

  You are the second son of a powerful Viking Jarl. With your older brother destined to inherit the throne at home, your path to glory lies elsewhere. You have been sent to the furthest reach of the Viking conquest: The fallen Byzantine Empire.

  This captured "Pearl of the East" is an exotic and dangerous place, now a distant outpost of Odin’s Midgard kingdom. It is here, amidst the conquered of Roman glory and long time fallen persian empire , that you must prove you have the abilities of a true hero.

THE POWER OF THE VALKNUT

  The conquered palace in Byzantium is more than just a fortress; it houses Odin's most powerful artifact on Earth—the Valknut hidden in dragon orb.

  This mystical relic transforms the palace into an brutal training ground for aspiring heroes. The Valknut holds the power to defy death itself. As a challenger in the palace, you can channel its energy using gold. If you fall in battle, the Valknut will consume your gathered riches to resurrect you at the last checkpoint, granting you another chance to fulfill your destiny.
