Orkneyjar

Orkneyjar is the Old Norse name for the Orkney Islands. For a Viking-age campaign, it is a natural stop between Hjaltland, Skotland, Ísland, and the western sea routes.

The islands can serve as a place of jarls, sea-kings, winter harbors, religious tension, ship repair, feasting halls, local feuds, and rumors carried between Norway and the western islands.

  • Type: Island region / northern sea route.
  • Region: Orkney Islands.
  • Campaign status: Available future location.

The party has not yet visited Orkneyjar in the recorded campaign. Keep it available as a travel hub, raiding base, political meeting place, or stepping-stone toward Skotland, Írland, Ísland, or the western islands.
