DUNGEAONS OF THE NORTH

Close-up of a character sheet for a game called Dungeons of the North, showing sections for character name, age, goals, flaws, and stats with a decorative border. There is a 20-sided die (d20) with red, gold, and cream colors placed on the sheet.

In yon realm where winter's breath doth blow, And icy winds whisper tales of old, Where northern lights in crimson glory glow, doth lie a land of stories yet untold

Perchance ye've heard the ancient bards recount Of valiant knights who sought the frozen north, Where dragons sleep 'neath ice, both fierce and stout, Yet yield to none when awakened from their worth..

And beasts of the deep, 'tis told, slumber below, Great serpents entwined round the mountains of stone, While rivers of ice like cold veins flow, Through valleys where no mortal foot hath ever tread.

So traveler, take heed when thou journeyest forth, To realms in the north where the old legends creep, For there lies a tension 'twixt heaven and earth, And truths that the living were never to keep.
