The story follows Erik, a Viking who has grown weary of the senseless violence and pillaging that define his culture. After a tragic incident where he accidentally kills an innocent woman during a raid, Erik becomes thoroughly disillusioned with the Viking way of life. Seeking to end the age of Ragnarok—a period of darkness and warfare—he embarks on a quest to find the mythical island of Hy-Brasil. His goal is to awaken the gods and bring about a new era of peace and sunlight.
