The Vanir
The Vanir are a hardy folk descended from the indebted of Barya and ragtag settlers from Arleon. Over the years they’ve grown into a folk who now raid their former masters. But the Bleak East is not a peaceful place and a terror known as the Roots has forced them to embrace the temperamental creatures of the land, the Vildra.
The power of the Vildra can change a human into a fearsome beast, ready to do battle against any foe. Many a Wielder has taken this path to rage and power.
With the Vildra’s power unleashing, a Huskarl can be transformed into a Korphan, switching the spear for beaks and talons while leaping into the enemy's backlines.
The Berserkir can truly unleash their rage as they change into a mighty Bear, challenging any who dare oppose their weaker brethren.
The Chieftain is used to commanding his forces but once the Pride of the Vildra takes root within, they grow to enormous proportions, turning into a Jormr of myth and legend.
The Vanir’s kind Swine was turned into an ever-living version of itself. The Serimnaan can be eaten in the evening and in the morning be found happily rolling around in the mud.
But the Vildra bring their own to the battle as well. Troll, Lykt, Bacahorse, and Nornor are all more than willing to rip apart any who stand against them.
So how will you command the Vanir? Will they stay human or embrace their wilder side and truly become the beasts that lurk inside all of us?
A Bleak Biome
With the Vanir also comes a new Biome of snow, ice, and forests for as far as the eye can see. The Bleak East is just as harsh as the name implies. With new places to visit, new caverns to plunder, and riches to be had. How will you conquer them?
Many more maps
Two small, two medium and one large Conquest maps are included in the Vanir DLC, specially designed for playing with Vanir. Will you defend your home against the invading houses of Barya, plunder the shores of the weakened Arleon, or trudge into the Marshes of the Rana?
In addition to the conquest maps, there will be two Challenge maps to test your skills with this new faction. Take charge of Sorg, a lost Troll who’s just trying to find his way home or stand against the corruption of the Vildra as Jarn Steadfast, the one who refused to Change.
