Hjaltland

Hjaltland is the Norse name used in the campaign for the Shetland Islands. It is a northern island destination reached by sea from Niðaróss. Records use it as a frontier location for settlers, undead danger, a rescued badger family, and access to deeper Atlantean ruins.

  • Type: Shetland Islands / settlement frontier.
  • Region: Shetland Islands.
  • First known appearance: Shetland-name source thread and Caleb poster/backstory material.
  • Caleb Gandalfson helped settlers in Hjaltland and fought undead threats there, including zombies and an ogre zombie connected to a barrow and a Draugr Stone.
  • Before Fires at the Fjordgate, Skrappe Frappe participated in the Hjaltland adventure. The party rescued a family of badgers from goblins, and Caleb's Wand of Wonder permanently enlarged the badger now known as Bitey Boy Brock. That rescue is how Brock met Skrappe.
  • Beneath or near the barrow, adventurers found a tunnel leading toward an Atlantean outpost.
  • Adventurers found and befriended Terrible Terrors, tiny flame-breathing dragons living in Hjaltland.
  • Separate northern expedition records also describe the fictional Aetherstone Islands northeast of Iceland. Those islands are distinct from Hjaltland.
  • Settlers in Hjaltland.
  • Undead from the barrow.
  • Terrible Terrors.
  • Atlantean outpost guardians.
