Banner of the Bull

A Land in Need of Heroes

The Jarl of Bense has a problem. He is responsible for the upkeep of a trelleborg (ring fortress) near the border of Norrøngard. But now communication with the fortress has gone dark. The jarl needs someone to journey to the trelleborg and learn what has happened.

Unbeknownst to the people of Norrøngard, a magical artifact known as the Banner of the Bull has long protected the land from the denizens of the fey realm of Elsewhither. Now the banner has been stolen. With the ward protecting Norrøngard breached, mischievous fey creatures and one sinister emissary of the Court of Thistles have encroached on the easternmost border of the land. If the Banner of the Bull isn’t recovered, Norrøngard may soon be overrun by a new threat.
