Raiders of the Serpent Sea Players Guide

From the lead designer of Dragon Age Origins, in partnership with the creators of Odyssey of the Dragonlords, comes Raiders of the Serpent Sea! Take to the seas of Grimnir and battle against the sinister forces of a forgotten past in an epic campaign for the 5th Edition of the world's greatest roleplaying game!
Raiders of the Serpent Sea is a blend of high fantasy and a darker world of grim seafaring raiders. The world of Grimnir is an unstable and primal realm strongly influenced by Norse mythology and the histories of the Vikings. The raiders of Grimnir fight to survive in this doomed world filled with ancient and fantastic creatures - giants, sea serpents, saber-toothed tigers, and the world-devouring Yoten. Nowhere is safe, danger and glory abound!
You must become heroes and embark upon an epic adventure across wild lands and dangerous seas. Though guided by fate, your decisions matter and will drastically influence Grimnir's future. Will you finally break the cycle of death and devastation that is Ragnar?k? Will you become a legend of the Serpent Sea?
