The Viking Artisans of Suthrvik - Part One

Constructing the settlement of Suthrvik plays a key role in NORSE: Oath of Blood, as detailed in last week’s Steam Community post, Building a Viking Settlement.

This week, we want to take a closer look and introduce you to the skilled craftspeople of Suthrvik.

In this two-part series, we’ll highlight the artisans and craftspeople who bring the Viking settlement of Suthrvik to life.

These workers are essential, not only for the village’s survival and growth, but also for outfitting your warband for the battles ahead. Suthrvik thrives not just on the strength of its warriors, but on the vibrant personalities who labor behind the scenes to keep the heart of the settlement beating.

Torsten – The Blacksmith
A wandering blacksmith who settles in Suthrvik, Torsten quickly becomes an indispensable part of the village. His masterful forging of weapons and armor strengthens the warriors who fight under Gunnar’s banner.

Torsten brings humor, heart, and a touch of chaos wherever he goes. He’s as quick with a joke as he is with a hammer, and never says no to a strong drink or a louder song. Nevertheless, the emotional wound of his brother’s betrayal and their father’s death has never healed, and Torsten is known to fall into dark moods and mires of self pity.

The Viking Artisans of Suthrvik - Part Two

In Part One of this series, we met the blacksmith, the farmer, and the seamstress—three vital figures who shape daily life in Suthrvik with their skill, spirit, and stories.

Now, in Part Two, we turn our attention to more of the unsung heroes who keep your Viking settlement thriving. From woodcarvers to fishermen and hunters, these characters may not lead charges into battle, but their contributions are just as crucial to the survival and soul of Suthrvik.

Olaf - Woodcarver
Wood carver, skald, and self-declared great lover, Olaf is as fond of his own voice as he is of a strong drink and a warm audience. With a harp on his hip and a carving knife in his belt, he crafts both tales and timber with equal flair.

Though often mocked for his vanity and endless verses, Olaf understands the power of story. Kings rise and fall, but a skald’s song endures. He sees in Gunnar the shape of legend and intends to be the one to carve it in wood and word alike.

Loud, lewd, and loyal in his own theatrical way, Olaf brings mirth and myth to the fire. If Gunnar Gripsson is to carve himself a fine reputation as a warrior and leader, if he is to have his tale told around the hearths of the Norse lands, it will be Olaf who gives that tale rhythm and rhyme.
