Viking America:
Set a square sail upon the longship of the Norse Sagas and sail back in time. Back to the days of the ‘Vikings’, who carried war, plundering and conquest throughout old Europe and even into Asia.
Looking westward, we follow those who traveled the mysterious shores and hinterland of a New World across the Western Ocean. To the furthest stretches of exploration of their people, dare to brave the fierce and cold oceans that will take the crew of intrepid adventurers to NewFoundland, where they will find vast land beyond their imaginations, wealth and resource, and that the land is not as ‘New Found’ as they had thought. Will you make your wealth and reputation, friends or foes as a Viking in North America?

In…
New Elf Towers:
No happy-go-lucky peregrination, the New Elf Towers shine like beacons beneath the dark sky of the war-torn Realm of the Raven.
The new High King has pronounced a deadly ban on “whimsical quests and the like” in order that all hands be turned to the war-effort as the Realm seeks to turn an unexpected advantage against the invading Empire into a definitive victory. Marshdog the Wizard and a rag-tag group of renegades follow the beacons in a desperate effort to save what really matters in the Ancientmost Realm.
The High King recruits the assistance of the Raven Priestesses in hunting down people who he calls “Traitors”- “People who should be helping the Realm win the War but who instead were just doing what they liked to do- like being on a silly ‘Quest’ or something like that”.
As if questing wasn’t difficult enough at the best of times!
Our band of adventurers heads out of the frying pan of the King’s capital and into the fire of the front line in the Wars of the Dusk, to seek the aid of their wizard’s powerful former ally, Rory Mak Rurie, Chief of the Redcaps.

In Feudal 16th century Japan the land is torn by great upheaval and conflict, a world where tyrannical Warlords battle for control of the country. And during the ceaseless struggle for power, a new secret tool will come to the fore, The Ninja… Masters of stealth and deception.
Welcome to White Phoenix Dojo, hidden within a village in the mountains of Iga province.

Now, as the ascendant warlord Oda Nobunaga (angry over their humiliating defeat of his son two years ago) arrives on their doorstep. As the province is surrounded by the warlords forces they soon realise Oda Nobunaga has not made the same mistake as his Son, he has brought with him his own clan of Ninja, and with treachery and deception discovered the location of White Phoenix Dojo. The Samurai & Ninja of Iga face their greatest test, and possible destruction, as their Hidden Ninja Village is Uncovered and besieged

Even more secret than Vala’s famous Knight School, is the mysterious Vala Academy of Magic. Up until now it has remained only a legend, spoken of in whispered tones by students of Knight School who have happened upon a glimpse of ‘Merlin’s Mirror’ in the subterranean depths beneath the school.
In previous episodes our students made contact with the new Merlin, known to them by his nickname Marshdog. Under his guidance they completed quests to repair the damaged Curtain of Concealment which protects the school not only from the meddling eyes of non-magic ‘mundane’ folk in the outside world, but also from the malevolent intentions of an ancient enemy newly revealed, the Sorcerers of Suth and their AI agents, the Enforcers.

Not on distant shores like of old in Wales or Cornwall, but in Australia, the great southern land, itself; like the Phoenix from the ashes, rises the new Merlin from the depths, and the owl call goes out to all who have the ears to hear it-

Marshdog the Wizard and a rag-tag group of renegades follow the beacons in a desperate effort to save what really matters in the Ancient most Realm.
The Realm has been at war for many many years and the new High King hopes to finally win the war with the help of the powerful Raven Queen. Having first solidified military alliances within his Realm, and jubilantly accepted an influx of mercenaries into the
ranks of its armies, the High King next seeks the assistance of the Raven Priestesses in hunting down people who he calls “Traitors”- “People who should be helping the Realm win the War but who instead were just doing what they liked to do- like being on a silly ‘Quest’ or something like that”. As if questing wasn’t difficult enough at the best of times! Our band of adventurers heads out of the frying pan of the King’s capital and into the fire of the front line in the Wars of the Dusk to seek the aid of their wizard’s powerful former ally, Rory Mak Rurie, Chief of the Redcaps.

~~SPELLCRAFT & ENCHANTMENT~~
In…Vala Academy of Magic: Aeon of Enchantment
Even more secret than Vala’s famous Knight School, is the mysterious Vala Academy of Magic. Up until now it has remained only a legend, spoken of in whispered tones by students of Knight School who have happened upon a glimpse of ‘Merlin’s Mirror’ in the subterranean depths beneath the school.
Having established contact with the new Merlin and convened the first Magic Student’s Assembly in 500 years, the re-established College of Enchanters must undertake its first great test. They must collect the gossamer of the Star Spiders of Leng in order to repair the torn and tattered Curtain of Concealment which protects the school not only from the meddling eyes of non-magic ‘mundane’ folk in the outside world, but also from the malevolent intentions of an ancient enemy newly revealed, the Sorcerers of Sidh and their AI agents, the Enforcers.

~VIKING & NATIVE AMERICAN LEGENDS~
In…Viking America: The Micmac Princes
Set a square sail upon the longship of the Norse Sagas and sail back in time. Back to the days when the same people from whom sprung the Vikings, to carry war, plundering and conquest throughout old Europe and even into Asia, explored the mysterious shores and hinterland of a New World across the Western Ocean. There they traded goods as well as unfortunate blows, with the native peoples. Come relive some of the heady days of the Vikings in North (or Norse) America.
Acquiring the Eirikson map of Vinland and hearing the tales of rich natural resources, a well-respected landholder and his community set off for this ‘New World’ to make a home for themselves. Their aim: to make new lives in this fertile and abundant land and take advantage of the friendly ties that the lastvoyage forged with the Micmac who live there. On their arrival, however, they find themselves drawn more deeply into local politics than intended after some of their number fight off a band of territorial raiders and prevent the capture of a group of women including …the Micmac Princess!
