When he was born on the gallows, the corpse of his mother swinging from the rope above, his life was off to a bad start. The superstitious villagers branded him as the son of Death, the bane of the North. They left him out for the Fug to claim, a deadly fog ruled by the Draugr - Viking warriors that had long ago fallen in battle.

They didn't expect him to return tattooed with the mark of an ancient god.

War is coming, and Bane could be the only Viking to prevent the North from falling.
