  • That Midgard Show Episode 22 | The Northlands Part 2
    Apr 20 2024

    Welcome to That Midgard Show! In this episode, we continue our temporary detour from the Empire of the Ghouls campaign for the next few episodes to discuss the locations and lore of the Northlands before moving on to the next chapter, "Catacombs of the Ghul King".

    In this episode, we'll delve into the eastern part of the Northlands and discuss Tanserhall, Björnrike, and Trollheim.

    And in our Creature Showcase, we discuss the Thin Giant from Tome of Beasts 2 and the Spawn of Chernobog from Creature Codex.

  • That Midgard Show Episode 21 | The Northlands Part 1
    Mar 15 2024

    Welcome to That Midgard Show! In this episode, we take a temporary detour from the Empire of the Ghouls campaign for the next few episodes to discuss the locations and lore of the Northlands before moving on to the next chapter, "Catacombs of the Ghul King".

    In the last two episodes, we discussed "The Blood Marriage" chapter, which led our heroes to Wolfheim, Huldramose, and Norheim. However, we don't want to leave out the other Northlands regions while we're here.

    In our Creature Showcase, we discuss the Ice Elemental from Tome of Beasts 2 and the Ankou Soul Herald from Creature Codex.

    WORLD TREES (from the Midgard Worldbook)

    The known World Trees include an enormous fir in Domovogrod (page 114 in the Worldbook); an unusual tree in Beldestan (see page 160); a marsh cypress in the Haunted Lands of the Giants (see page 260); a mere sapling in Huldramose (see page 306); and a thriving ravenfolk roost in Trollheim (see page 316).

    Not all World Trees prosper or resist corruption: Varshava’s tree did not survive the darakhul conquest of the city (see page 100); the gnomes of Niemheim have also created a terrible sproutling abomination (see page 106); and a rotting World Tree endures in the ruins of Thorn (see page 293).
