RAIDERS OF THE SERPENT SEA: CAMPAIGN GUIDE - HARDCOVER RPG BOOK - Glory is yours for the taking! Centuries ago, upon a vast, beautiful, and wondrous world, a horde of vile beings known as the Yoten destroyed the heroic Vanir. The survivors fled to a new world, Grimnir. Vast and inhospitable, many died in the early years. Yet, it was a place to rebuild. Generations have passed but the memory of the old world's death is never forgotten. Their descendants, the raiders, are ever vigilant and watch for the Yoten's return. You are one such hero destined by fate to bear witness to Grimnir's destruction–and perhaps fated to finally break your people free of the cycle of destruction and rebirth known as Ragnarök.
