After the Ragnarök, Odin had died, Asgard is in ruins, and the AEsir are in total confusion. While the Vanir, ancient enemies of the AEsir, still exist, their command structure has been destroyed and they pose no organized threat. Players create their own god and attempt to gather worshipers by fighting other gods and the remaining Vanir in Asgard. As players win more battles, they are able to send more favors to their worshipers back on Midgard. As the faith of the worshippers grows, the player is rewarded with more powerful units. A player's following will start at a small village and may reach an entire country. And with a full country's worth of followers worshiping the player and sending their dead to fight alongside their god in the afterlife, the player grows more and more powerful. Eventually, players may be able to create their own pantheons with other gods and attempt to become the new Odin.
