1d8 Random Ancient Viking Treasures Table For Your Old School Campaigns

These relics come from another time after the fall of the Old Gods, they carry with them the echoes of Ragnarok & the doom of ages. To carry these objects is to carry the weight of ages for their stories yearn to be told & their owner's forgotten lost deeds to be carried out. There is a 20% chance that a geas or other spell of the ages is carried upon them.
 

But there are far darker & disturbing aspects of these objects, demons, entities, and other horrors from beyond time & space stalk the angles outside of time looking for the scent of Old Earth echoing through the ether between the "Dark Spaces." These forces  will seek the trails of the owners of these objects to murder or worse such folks to oblterate the traces of them from all reality. These things are hates from old & they loath those who would remember the nobility and heroism of the 'Old Peoples'.



"Like gay-hued leaves after an autumn storm, the fallen littered the plain; the sinking sun shimmered on burnished helmets, gilt-worked mail, silver breastplates, broken swords and the heavy regal folds of silken standards, overthrown in pools of curdling crimson. In silent heaps lay war-horses and their steel-clad riders, flowing manes and blowing plumes stained alike in the red tide. About them and among them, like the drift of a storm, were strewn slashed and trampled bodies in steel caps and leather jerkins"
Robert Howard The Phoenix & The Sword 1932
