The first war isn’t against gods. It’s against everyone left standing.

PvP flips on. Bounties spike. Skalds turn rumor into weapons. Ex-firefighter Daniel Cole—a glitched Worldbreaker bound to Jörmungandr—refuses both Odin’s ‘favors’ and Loki’s whispers. That makes him target number one. With the EMT’s Hospitium holding the Safe-Pass corridor, Daniel fights to keep civilians alive while bounty squads, rival clans, and Seer Towers try to corner him into an oath.

When a mid-tier logistics clan (Ashen Banner) ‘loses’ medical scrip, Daniel follows the money—straight into a Skjald-sanctioned trap. Ledger heists, fog-ambushes, and a civic trial bout push him to the edge of the serpent’s grin. He chooses restraint inside the red…and ruthless precision outside it. The truth goes public, Oathbreaker penalties land, and the market learns what ‘boundaries matter’ really costs.

With alliances fraying and both gods pricing his head, Daniel steps onto the parley stone and raises a banner of his own: THE COILBORN. Charter:No oaths to gods. Safe-Pass honored. We hold the seam. As the town recalibrates around a new clan tag, the sky flickers with a warning—Root War Protocol is waking.

Expect:

  • Progression you can feel (stats-light): trained Serpent Veil, Venom Burst III, Coil Constriction, Coil Bastion synergies, rope/platecraft tricks



    Systems & politics: Fyrdholds, Raid Compacts, vendor taxes, Skald’s Court, Oathbreaker debuffs, corridor immunities



    Set pieces: river-fog bounty hunts, ledger infiltration, parley-to-knife betrayal, civic trial, corridor defense under Safe-Pass



    Moral stakes: protect the weak without kneeling to gods—and pay for every inch of power



    Perfect for fans of gritty Norse LitRPG / progression fantasy with strategy, big battles, and consequences over spreadsheets.

    Blood Feud continues the Ragnarök Protocol saga after Clanborn and points straight at The Root Wars.
