The fjords lie silent… too silent.

Smoke drifts over distant villages. Ravens circle overhead. In the shadows of longhouses, oaths are whispered and alliances are forged. Something stirs on the horizon.

The challenge of this fierce, jam is Secrets of the runes :VikingShield:

This is no place for the weak. It’s for those who crave glory, who know when to raid, when to scheme, and when to strike without mercy. ⚔️🔥 You’ll need honor. Cunning. Strength. And perhaps a touch of ruthless ambition. 😏

The clan gathers at Create all weekend long — crafting games, forging legends, and earning their seat in Valhalla.

👉 Don’t forget to Sign-Up Here for the jam!
Secure your place among the warriors and gain access to the clan’s Discord, where plans are made and stories unfold.

Can’t make it to the longhouse in person? No matter. Join the raid from afar through our Discord server and stay connected to every battle and breakthrough.

We’ll also be live on Twitch — streaming the opening rites and speaker sessions on Friday, and the final feast on Sunday, where the greatest creations are honored and victories are claimed.

So… what say you, warrior?
Will you answer the call — or be forgotten in the sagas? 🛡️🔥
