Age of Vikings Supplement by Sagass of the North / Chaosium
“And he was not a stone in place of an egg; and he was not a wisp in place of a club; but he was a hero in place of a hero“
In the Age of Vikings, two peoples share the island of Ireland – native Gaels and Norse Austmann settlers. Heroes from both cultures journey far and wide in search of fortune, glory, and adventure.
This 115 page supplement presents optional rules for creating heroes born or raised in Ireland. It is designed to be used with both the Age of Vikings core rule book and the Age of Vikings Companion.

- Optional rules for veneration of Irish saints
- Details of Gaelic clothing and statistics for weapons and armour
