Join the ranks of the skalds of old who would weave their tales of valor to a captivated audience in smoke-filled feasting halls. Immerse them in your story with maps of distant northern shores and take them on a journey where the lines of myth and history blur.

This add-on is a great way to add a greater diversity of culture to your Map Effects Fantasy Map Builder and bring people into the world you’ve created. Each brush was carefully drawn at high resolution to ensure the highest quality when you go to print your map to hang on the wall, for your book, or your next campaign.

Here’s What You Will Get

• 30x Hand-drawn Scandinavian inspired features.

• Icons for habitations like a longhouse, wood fortresses, a feasting hall, villages and more.

“Like many people, one of the periods of history and cultures I have always been fascinated by is what we commonly refer to as the “vikings.” Obviously, this is too narrow of a term to apply to several people groups scattered throughout the northern regions of Europe. But, I hope you will forgive my brevity and join me in appreciating this fascinating and harsh period of history. I cut my teeth on historical novels by Bernard Cornwell, and listening to viking inspired bands like Amon Amarth and SKÁLD. This add-on for my Map Effects Fantasy Map Builder was the first one I instantly knew I wanted to create. Because I know you likely share this appreciation for this culture. - Josh

“Thus he (Odin) established by law that all dead men should be burned, and their belongings laid with them on the pile, and the ashes be cast into the sea or buried in the earth. Thus, said he, every one will come to Valhalla with the riches he had with him upon the pile, and he would also enjoy whatever he himself buried in the earth. For men of consequence a mound should be raised to their memory, and for all other warriors distinguished for manhood, a standing stone.”

— Ynglinga saga
