- 0:03Let me tell you about a hero whose fate would soon be
- 0:07intertwined with the fate of the world itself, by the hands of
- 0:12the Nords and the will of the gods.
- 0:15The saga begins, of course, as any good one having our hunter
- 0:21the hero out in the woods, waking up drunk as a boar.
- 0:32With headache from last night's Mead, the hunter is not too
- 0:36confident about their And yet an inviting call echoes in the
- 1:05mountain slopes. A Raven.
- 1:10Those are thought to be scouts of the All Father Odin, and also
- 1:15to be a guidance to mortals. The hunter knows this and so
- 1:20decides to follow it. The bird leads our hero to a
- 1:39quite familiar place, a Hunter's camp.
- 1:44The hunter is welcomed by their best friend lying on a lone
- 1:48table, the bow. The weapon fits nicely.
- 1:58The hunter decides to warm up by practicing a little before
- 2:02venturing onward. None all warmed up.
- 2:53Our hero's stomach rumbles, aching for food, so the hunter
- 2:58sets off to find some moving targets.
- 3:01Study calls. An amazing spectacle shines
- 3:18above the hills. The sky glistens with iridescent
- 3:22lights. These waving wonders are said to
- 3:25be reflections of the Valkyrie's armours, leading fallen warriors
- 3:30to Valhalla. Boars appear in the crag.
- 3:34The hero found tonight's dinner. The prey falls.
- 3:44A true shot our hero would get ready to loot, but smells smoke
- 3:53and spots ominous lights nearby. To be sure, the hunter decides
- 3:58to get a closer look. The statues of the ancients
- 4:11carved into the mountains. Warriors of bygone ages, watch
- 4:16our heroes path with great anticipation.
- 4:36Right where it hurts. The lights turned out to be a
- 4:44rated lumber camp, and a man lies in front of its gate.
- 4:49It's canoed, the Forester. Tattooed men emerge from a cave
- 4:58nearby. The Killers The Hunter draws the
- 5:02bow to strike down the bastards. Two critical shots.
- 5:41The Raiders are dead. Who were these men?
- 5:45Why did they have glowing eyes and tattoos?
- 5:49Something is not right. The hunter decides to report the
- 5:54events to the Yarl and heads toward the village.
- 6:14Our hero is making their way through the woods, closer to
- 6:18their hometown. The feathered guide flies above,
- 6:22showing the way. The road leads to an outpost,
- 6:34and before it's gate, some crates.
- 6:37The place is abandoned, so the hunter loots and presses on.
- 6:50The Raven lands beside a chest marked with rooms.
- 6:55It is surely containing ancient knowledge or riches.
- 7:31Hey nice to meet you. I am treasure chest but my
- 7:34friend just called me Justin. We will be best.
- 7:37Friends opening such containers, the hero acquires skills like
- 7:45building and repairing barricades or improving their
- 7:49bow. Being ready for their phones,
- 8:34our hero rings the watch bell. Bracing for the attack, the
- 8:46Raiders arrived. The hunter welcomes them with a
- 8:49hail of arrows. One more.
- 9:28Brute Leader, glowing with bright runic tattoos, enters the
- 9:32fray. That seems to be the end of them
- 9:48for now, but there is no time to waste.
- 9:51The village is surely in danger. Ruins lay silent, the forest is
- 10:23still, the wind blows ominously. This isolated fishing town have
- 10:29never seen conflict before up until now.
- 10:39The hero cites the perfect position, the Fort.
- 10:43Reclaiming the Fort, the hunter rings the bell again, letting
- 10:48the battle begin. The bell can be rang early if
- 10:53one's up for a challenge. Oh, critical shocks,
- 11:51The spoils are gathered into the chest on the Fort.
- 11:54The hero shall open it but will move further the
- 12:12shots like scaddies. Open me.
- 12:49Damn, been dead. The bonfire lights up.
- 12:56The hero shall rest. The next wave awaits the toll of
- 13:00the bell. None.
- 14:04Right where it hurts. In the midst of battle, the
- 14:49hunter notices their foes. Tattoos disappear as they
- 14:53weaken. Good shot, Legolas.
- 15:43Hey, it's me, the chest. Would you be so kind and shoot
- 15:48me? It will be good for you, trust
- 15:51me. 3 for justice.
- 17:20Another wave approaches. The gods watch the great battle.
- 17:25Lightning stirs the seas. Flames burn the woods.
- 17:43Have you met my old brother Mimic?
- 17:46He only makes false promises. Stay down.
- 18:29None. A terrible sight appears from
- 18:39behind the mountains. A dragon.
- 18:43It cleaves the sky with its wings, breathing fire, lighting
- 18:47up the night. No matter how fiercely defended,
- 19:22every Fort crumbles, every gate breaches, no matter how hard a
- 19:29hero fights, they shall meet their end as well.
- 19:35But this Hunter's story doesn't end just yet.
- 19:44Such a horrible sight. The village is up in flames,
- 19:48everyone is gone, only a few ships can be seen fleeing the
- 19:52area and something is happening. I am oded.
- 20:12Oh Father, with my guidance, you spirit will imbue this mortal
- 20:18once again. And challenge destiny through
- 20:25hardship and mystery. You will be the one to stop the
- 20:29Dragonfathnia and prevent Ragnarok.
- 20:33The A Seer have chosen you. But first we shall discover what
- 20:37is needed to seal the fate of the beast.
- 20:43Your bow. It is already bound to your
- 20:45soul, enchanted by the gods. Their powers might sometimes aid
- 20:50you in battle. It shall help you on your
- 20:54journey. Before your adventure starts,
- 20:59let me take you to Igdrasil, the Tree of Life.
- 21:03It shall be your safe haven, your new home.
