The Courtless

Version 1 · Last edited Oct 8, 2026, 6:22 AM by Notion Importer

Those who are not sworn to an Elemental Court are called the Courtless. They don’t have any powers bestowed by an element, but they are still valued for their personal resolve.

Court Color None. Some choose to wear grey as their dominant color to make it clear.
Court Symbol None
Opposed Element None

Starting Abilities

Courtless vikings start with these abilities for free.

Void Channeling

Whenever you would use an ability with an Element, that Element is “Void”.

Unaligned Spirit

You may count as any court when determining costs, such as when Resurrected.

Cantrip Effects

Cantrip effects may only be delivered by using abilities which state that they deliver a Cantrip Effect.

  • “Void Subdue”
  • “Void Muzzle”
  • “Void Push 10 feet”

Spell Effects

You may only deliver Spell effects with abilities which specifically allow you to do so.

  • “Void Severance”
  • “Void Banish”

Favored Biomes

While your Explore Token is on a hex representing one of the following biomes, if your Explore Action fails to uncover anything, receive a hint as to the location of nearby Crafting Materials.

Roadway, Plains, Urban, Void Field

Suggested Social Traits

These social traits are optional suggestions.

Indecisive

You are prone to analysis paralysis, endlessly weighing the pros and cons of any given choice. In the end, you often end up letting time decide for you, which can be a relief just as often as it ends in disaster.

Go Your Own Way

Some say you have a real problem with authority, but those are people who don’t appreciate a viking with an unshakable self-identity. You might be your own boss, march to your own drum or simply prefer to dabble when it comes to associating with groups and factions.
