"...as they gazed upon the ruins they once called home with both heaviness in their hearts and a rage thought only to possess the Valeriaans, that there came a spark. Not one to set flames once more to the already burning Skana. But that of a call, a beckoning to action – to take up arms ever so defiantly in the shadow of the newly formed empire. They called themselves the Viklanders. What was once a term to deride the people of a region thought to be of more uncivilized and barbaric means, even going so far back as the founding of the first empire, now was proclaimed loudly upon the tongues who adopted what would be a title. An endearment. In the name of Heímdäll. In the name of the people who were disparaged because of their circumstances upon birth. In the name of the people who took up arms against the Valeriaans in olden times. For the homeland which birthed the heart of defiance.

A rebellion was formed of the loyal hearts that stood as one, and the two forces have stood at odds with one another for over a hundred years. They are the last chance the people of Skana have to hold onto, and even those who don’t outwardly support the rebellion out of fear of retaliation, secretly desire the victory that had been lost to them two hundred years ago. They pray that there will come a day that the superior might of one of the greatest empires to have ever ruled Njörden will be challenged by the unexpected heroes who live among them."
