Prophecy and Danger: The World of Rune

In this RPG based on the popular video game, Viking warriors battle their way through the lands of Scandinavian myth, trying to keep Loki's forces at bay and forestall Ragnarok.

Armed with sword and axe, these brave warriors battle dark elves, giants, and enormous wyrms hungry for manflesh. The bravest among them will win the favor of the gods and superhuman powers.

But nothing comes without a price.
