Memory
A feud that lasts a generation.
Memories record who killed whom and what was paid for it, with the story time and the place. When the dead man’s cousin rides into your yard three sessions later, the storyteller knows the grudge he carries.
Iceland, the winter of 999. Kolbein killed Onund of Bakki after a quarrel at the autumn horse fight, and Onund’s widow wants him outlawed or dead. There is no king to appeal to, only the law and your mother Thorgerd, who knows it better than most chieftains. LoreWeaver keeps the oaths sworn and the silver paid in the story’s memory, so a feud can run for seasons.

“Onund’s widow wants Kolbein outlawed. Let her bring it to the Althing. I know the law better than her chieftain does, and we have all winter to find friends.”

Memory
Memories record who killed whom and what was paid for it, with the story time and the place. When the dead man’s cousin rides into your yard three sessions later, the storyteller knows the grudge he carries.
LoreMap
Give each family and chieftain a lore card, and the LoreMap links the ones that share tags or name each other. Label the links yourself, such as married into or in feud with, to see where everyone stands.
Reputation
The Reputation template climbs when you protect or spare someone and drops when you steal or betray. Raise it high enough and strangers react to your name before you give it.
Raids
Dice Combat starts a fight whenever you attack. Each blow rolls a d20 against the enemy’s defense, the enemy strikes back while it stands, and the fight ends when one side falls.
Two Paths
Two Paths counts each time you show mercy and each time you show cruelty. Deep into the story, it compares the two and steers toward the ending you earned.
World builder
Describe your saga in a sentence, such as two brothers who inherit one longship, and the world builder writes the premise, the households as lore cards, and the scene you open in.
