About this mod
Project Gauntlet: Niflheim offers Vikings a chance to explore and conquer their way across a challenging world, covered in over 30 Castles, Cairns, and Cities. This vanilla world provides emergent roleplay opportunities, with optional PvP elements. Great for players who want to focus on combat rather than grinding for resources and building.

Welcome to Niflheim!
Whispers float upon the tides,
That Greylings haunt and no longer hide.
That Draugr reclaim Great Halls of Old,
And guard the gates of the Western Holds.
The Fulings, frothing, frenzy forth,
Swarming upon the shores of the North.
What Dvergr remain of the Old Accord
Warrant whatever protection you can afford.
Who spares the land, and lifts the curse,
Shall earn with honor a mighty purse!
Gather your most battle-hardened Companions, and face the Gauntlet! Though some Havens of The Vanguard remain, great fortifications across all corners of the realm stand open to the foul forces that stalk the dark places of Niflheim. A coastal fort to the West stands dangerously close to the hallowed forest of The Elder. The Bastions stand high in the peaks, ready to face Moder. A chain of Black-Marble Temples mark the rising power of Yagluth, rumored to have been unleashed in the Eastern Isles. A fabled Citadel of the Dvergr lies shrouded in the Mists, abandoned when the smallfolk discovered the deeper mysteries of The Forsaken Isle. High in the mountains, in deep stone Tumuli, lies the trail of dark forces, conspiring to plunge Niflheim into darkness. Gather a sturdy shield-wall of your most experienced Vikings to retake the Fell Cities. Be on the lookout for Dvergr Exclaves, who may aid or hinder you in your quests! Many hidden secrets await in the far flung halls of Niflheim. Take up the Gauntlet, and answer the call to Glory!
I'm eager for feedback! Please reach out here https://discord.gg/Je5whJaK to share your journeys, and compete for glory in PvPvE conquest! I am enamored with the concept of utilizing Valheim as a vehicle to deliver a Real-Time Roleplay experience, and hope to encourage others to experiment with new ways to play this wonderful game. Upon request, I can write materials to roleplay as one of several NPCs, quest givers and companions, for the party to rescue, and even acting as a "conditional ally" somewhat like Patches in the Soulsborne series
In its current state, Niflheim remains a work in progress, but offers more than enough content that I feel comfortable putting it out to the community, as a way to share my progress, and invite interior designers and builders of the community to join me in polishing what is already an expansive built world. Reach out to me on Discord @HalvorBarbarossa to join the Varangian Nomads and build the community!
P.S. Bear in mind that the Spawn Island is set up for a Capture-The-Flag Game, using square shields as the flags, and castles as bases. This was the earliest iteration of this concept, which was later redirected towards a full map PvE Co-op conquest/Castle defense (with plenty of loot to reward stealthy and swift raiders). Generally speaking, I will say that the quality of the builds should improve, and more innovative elements should show as your party sails beyond the main isle, and into the mysteries that await beyond the frog pond.
