Summary
You’re sent a message (by however means it is in your world) and you suspiciously look at it, wondering who it is from. The writing is nothing you have seen before and yet you’re interested in what lies inside. It reads: The Souls are the Key and the Tree is the way. Flowers are dreams come true. Leafs give life to those who are in need of a returning of colour in their cheeks. Berries for wishes but Souls are what are needed. The collars and bracelets, each coloured in one of three, bind the Soul to the Tree and to the Life.
Death is the way but is Death the return?
You do not know what to make of it so you forget about it. Days later you fall ill, no one can cure you and you die a painful death but where does the soul go? It goes to Niflheim, the City of the Mists where you now reside with either a collar or a bracelet on your neck, one of three different colours. Each collar subtly drains your energy to feed the Yggdrasil Tree, for its Flowers are needed by the Gods to revive one of their own yet some Gods are mischievous toward those Souls who they have captured.
How will you deal with them? How will you fight back should you want to? How will you return to your world, your old life? What if you had already died before attaining the message but still are directed to Niflheim? What if there was a chance for you to come back to your home world and live again? Would you take it?
The City at a Glance
Niflheim is the City of the Mists where devils lie and there is no sun for however long the days last. Each night is forever and the cities are lit by torchlight. However, despite the eternal night, the torches do not stay lit at all times. Shadows come and go and with them come the things that do bump in the night. Orcs, ghosts, possible even the vampires of lore among other devils haunt the street looking for their next meal.
In Niflheim, you are on your own and the God, Loki, could be blamed for everything but that does not mean you cannot fight back against the darkness if you wish. Thor has his own hidden army in the city, willing to take anyone who wishes to fight for the safety of the city and against the acts of Loki and his conspirators. In a city where Gods rule, there are few that wish for the best of its populace. Yet, even so the good Gods are outnumbered and need the help of those newcomers who can and are willing to fight back.
For those who cannot or do not wish to fight back, there are other places to become useful if you wish. Hospitals, schools, standard jobs to supply the underground armies of Thor are there as well as normal civilian jobs. Despite everything, Niflheim tries to remain a “normal” city that is always encased in darkness. Jobs are offered and a military base, hidden deep underneath the stones and cobbles of the Niflheim streets are always there for anyone.
Would you fight? Would you accept your fate? Will you help the armies? Or will you try to find your own way home by helping a Shadowy figure who says his experiments will help bring the ones who died to come to Niflheim back to life and in their own world?
Niflheim’s reach is long and manages to touch three different realities. The original reality of your universe, a secondary alternate reality and a third where genders are switched. Which one do you come from?
