An Epic Norse Adventure
Set in the same universe as the acclaimed “Odyssey of the Dragonlords” campaign, “Raiders of the Serpent Sea” places players in the shoes of Viking raiders.

Background Story
“Raiders of the Serpent Sea” is set against the backdrop of a world recovering from destruction at the hands of the Yoten. Players, as descendants of the survivors who rebuilt in Grimnir, face the looming threat of the Yoten’s return, a prophecy foretold by seers in the game’s lore.
Resources for Gameplay
The expansion is available in print, featuring a Player’s Guide and Campaign Guide filled with detailed lore and illustrations. For Game Masters, additional resources such as a custom GM screen, maps, and Game Master cards are available to enhance the gameplay experience.
