About This Content

By day the English. By night the eaters of the dead.

Ahmad ibn Fadlan went north as an emissary and came home a warrior. Bound by a seeress's prophecy to a band of thirteen, the thirteenth of whom could not be a Northman, he followed Buliwyf's heroes to a dying king's hall and a war fought against men by day and monsters by night. This is the account he wrote, that no one in Baghdad believed.

The Wendol ride

• Bear-skinned raiders in skull masks come out of the fog on dark horses.
  
• Wendol horse archers stalk your column; torch riders set the thatch alight as they come.
  
• Named Berserkers (Bruun, Gar, Hralf, Skarn and Volk) and the Wendol Warlord lead the host.
  
• Every chapter is an overwhelming fight that thirteen men can still win.

The campaign: six chapters, each opening on its own painted scene

• The Thirteenth Man: Tatar riders pour off the ridge above the Volga camp.
  
• The Longhouse in Darkness: the fire is low, the fog is at the door, and something breathes above the rafters.
  
• Fire Vorm Attack: a serpent of a hundred torches winds down on Arnholm.
  
• Trail of Bones: the stone circle is silent until the stones move.
  
• The Cave of the Eaters: drums in the deep, and a tunnel one shield wide.
  
• Death of a King: four remain, and the Mother waits in her temple.

A full Nordic nation

• Hirdmen, berserkers, skalds and shieldmaidens, drafted into any battle in any mode.
  
• Longship crews and Norse siege engines.
  
• Authored maps for every chapter, from the Volga camp to the bone cave.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some of the artwork in this DLC was produced with generative AI image tools and then cropped, composited, retouched and finished by the developer. This includes unit and character portraits, faction crests, campaign banners and key art, and some environment and prop art. Parts of the in-game lore and flavour text were drafted with AI assistance and then edited by the developer. Nothing is generated by AI while you play: all content ships with the DLC as fixed, pre-made assets.
