Grimnar's people speak of it as their old stone home, with Hearthforge Hall as the great central hall where the ritual to wake Thullgrim was stopped. The entrance sits in a mountain pass between a tall northern mountain and a larger southern mountain. The cave entrance is on the northern face of the southern mountain.

Sling Slings should have a better range than the rules say. I change it so that when using a cast bullet, designed for usage in a sling, the range is the same as that of a shortbow. I believe the evidence shows that as a valid correction. When using a found stone, the distance is half of that of a shortbow, due to the random characteristics of the rock. text/html 2026-08-14T09:29:45+00:00 Seraphina (seraphina@undisclosed.example.com) https://vikingworld.ronhelwig.com/?image=campaigns%3Alatitude_history%3Acharacters%3Amarina-sam.png&ns=campaigns%3Alatitude_history%3Acharacters&rev=1786699785&do=media <img src="https://vikingworld.ronhelwig.com/_media/campaigns/latitude_history/characters/marina-sam.png?w=500&amp;h=500&amp;tok=3b53e7" alt="marina-sam.png" loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" /> text/html 2026-08-11T11:01:18+00:00 Seraphina (seraphina@undisclosed.example.com) https://vikingworld.ronhelwig.com/changes/elemental_sorcerer?rev=1786446078 Elemental Sorcerer The Elemental Sorcerer is a D&D-VikingWorld homebrew class for a character whose connection to an element is direct, physical, and instinctive.
