Greetings. I am proud to welcome you to...
The Dohrnian Fate
The Story
Year 107 A.D.
For so long…since the beginning of time…men have clashed in battle. Sins have risen from the depths of imagination, bringing varieties of hell and torture from the minds of writers and poets into reality. The “Age of Rome” they call it. The bloody legions of iron and bronze march through other lands, killing and claiming uncharted regions to be their own. Death overcomes the golden wood of our continent. But no battle or struggle extends farther than that between the men of Dohrn and the Giants of Gallok. Each barbaric in their own way, both sides clash for the complete dominance of the northwest Europa. The Giants tower over Man, standing nearly fifteen feet tall and encased in the furs and ironworks of their most tireless blacksmiths. They wield massive boulders, axes, swords, and hammers, smashing their way through their countless amounts of enemies.
But Man is no timid kind. At land and at sea, the barbarians of the Dohrnian Isles break through the flesh of their massive adversaries. Their longboats collide against those of the Giants, and under the pelts of bears and lions they rush to foreign decks, weapons and fury at hand.
But nevertheless…the Giants are equal in numbers, and possess the upper hand in power. And to make matters worse for the Dohrnian barbarians, they are forced to support two wars. South of the Dorhnian Isles is the small, generally African and Arabic, yet highly ethnically and religiously welcoming nation of Sorbia. The nation was once under the control of the Romans, but was taken from them by the Dohrnians. Disagreeing with their open way of life, the barbarians brutally forced nearly the entire population of Sorbians into slavery. Hording slaves from one territory to another, much of the Dohrnian military was granted to slave holders. If the barbarians release their grasp on the land of Sorbia, the Romans will regain their ownership of the territory, and have a direct route to the Isles themselves.
Their men stretched from south to east, the Dohrnians have little hope of keeping their civilization alive for much longer.
The Setting
The setting rests in the previously mentioned year of 107 A.D. on the Norse-based barbarians of the fictional Isles of Dohrn. Battling both the Giants of the land of Gallok and the Roman Empire, as well as maintaining control of Sorbia, the barbarians are thin in numbers. This was also caused by a recent raid on Dohrn by the Roman Empire. The attack had failed, but it had delivered a great blow the Dohrnian people.
However, there is still a small amount of hope. A Dohrnian longboat under the command of renowned military commander Wolfyrn the Blood letter (slayer of Hew, the Hooked Giant, who had instigated the recent Roman invasion of Dohrn) sails from the ports of Sorbia to the Dohrnian Isles with thousands of weapons, tons of meat and other foods, and a massive crew of armed men, beautiful women, and Sorbian slaves. However, this ship will unknowingly be targeted by an unthinkable event, causing them to sail of course…into Gallok, the land of the Giants. Suddenly, man and woman, slave and slave master will be forced to work together to survive. Or maybe they will refuse to do so and attempt to find another way to solve the problem and rescue themselves from their ultimate enemies - the Giants! Such information will be revealed.
