An introduction to the Svilland Campaign Setting

The vast landscape of Svilland is roughly equal to the size of Scandinavia. Its geographical features are as beautiful as they are unforgiving. The mighty mountains called Ymir’s Lashes cover the North, great marshes called Mudland occupy the East, and the Southern border connects Svilland to the South Sea. The inhabitants of the land are mostly settled in the area lying between all three. Divided into three kingdoms, the lands are; Nionaem, Alsvartr, and Green Lights of the East. Each has its own characteristics, challenges, and benefits.

The lore section of the setting contains many interesting stories, characters, and plot hooks. Every single place in Svilland, even the smallest hamlet, has unique tales and touches inspired by Norse mythology. It’s your chance to have an in-depth experience in a fitting atmosphere which transports you into this cold, mythic reality.

Wandering the wilderness, you find that danger lurks in Svilland in many forms. Not just the beasts or monsters as one might be used to, but also strange and harsh weather conditions. Svillanders believe that most of the unique weather-related phenomena are relevant to the deeds of the deities.
