Mythic Iceland

ADD TO WISHLIST >

On the west of Norway comes the island called Iceland, with the mighty ocean washing round it:
a land very squalid to dwell in, but noteworthy for marvels, both strange
occurrences and objects that pass belief.

The Danish History, by Saxo Grammaticus,
12th Century

Legend and Adventure in Viking-Age Iceland

The Nordic and Celtic peoples who settled Iceland in the 9th century came from lands with rich traditions of folklore, where the mythical and supernatural were part of daily life. They found an island of striking beauty, with inland valleys, richly grassed and forested lowlands, massive glaciers, and impressive volcanic mountain ranges. They also found a land teeming with spirits of nature and mythic creatures.

Mythic Iceland offers Basic Roleplaying players the experience of living and adventuring in the Iceland described in the Sagas and in Icelandic fairy-tales. In Mythic Iceland all the creatures of myth and all the magical aspects of life really do exist, and they play a major role in people’s lives. The elves, or hidden folk, exist hidden from the eyes of the common folk, and sometimes meddle in their affairs. Those travelling through the highlands risk being attacked by trolls, and often curses and spells are laid on neighbors and enemies.

Introduction • History of Mythic Iceland • Character Creation • Life in Saga-Age Iceland • Law and Government • Norse Religion • Magic in Mythic Iceland • A Traveler’s Guide to Mythic Iceland • Elves and the Hidden People • Álfheimur • The Lands to the West • The Wide World • Going Viking • Running a Game of Mythic Iceland • Creatures of Mythic Iceland • The Trouble with Neighbors • Cthulhu Dark Ages Iceland • Cthulhu Dark Ages Scenario • Bibliography • Fold-Out Map.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
