Vethrmyr

The World-Tree is broken, the Nine Realms lie tangled together, and the gods have gone silent. In Vethrmyr, ancient roots pierce a harsh, shifting world—and every oath, alliance, and prophecy may decide whether it endures or falls into Ragnarök.

A Norse Mythic Fantasy Setting

The roots are broken. Fate is not.

Once, Yggdrasil bound the Nine Realms apart. When the World-Tree shattered, its roots tore through the mortal world and dragged the realms into one fractured land: Vethrmyr. Frost wastes meet sunlit groves; haunted barrows rise beyond storm-lashed fjords; and the Shattered Roots pulse beneath it all, warping the wilds and calling old terrors back to life.

The gods have fallen, hidden, or fallen silent. Their power lingers in relics, runes, sacred places, and uncertain visions—but no divine hand will settle the fate of mortals. Across the crossroads of Midvethr and the nine stark regions beyond, jarls feud, giants contest their future, the Rootguard defend the living roots at any cost, and the Skaldic League insists that stories can shape what comes next.

This is a world of hard-won alliances and perilous journeys, where a sea-road can carry trade, raiders, or monsters, and every old promise has teeth. Follow rumors into the roots, bargain with powers that should be gone, and decide what deserves saving when the world itself is coming undone.

Will Vethrmyr find a new way to live—or will its broken roots finally give way to Ragnarök?

Author's note

Vethrmyr is a Norse-inspired mythic fantasy setting for Dungeons & Dragons 5e, built around a shattered World-Tree, nine interwoven realm-regions, and a silent pantheon. Its central tensions are deliberately unresolved: the roots may be the world's anchors or the source of its corruption; prophecy may be a cage or a warning; and factions with competing visions of survival all have something to lose. Use the setting as a broad frontier for exploration, faction play, dangerous bargains, and mortal choices in the shadow of a possible Ragnarök.
