Come Hel or Hiawatha

Last run

Bristol Games Day 2024

There have been many rumours of Viking tribes who made their way over the seas to a land of milk and honey they called Vinland. This is the saga of one such, the Clan of Ragnar, who have braved the Northern seas to try and make a new life in the mysterious lands to the west. And it is the tale of the Chippasaw, the tribe who sees the interlopers coming from the sea. They are rich in sky metal, but are they really favoured of the spirits? Only time will tell in this game set at the final Pow-Wow, in which Viking faces Indian, each determined to protect the things they hold dear.
