A Word from our Sponsors ...
This game draws heavily from the film "The 13th Warrior" by John McTiernan (which in turn draws from the book "Eaters of the Dead" by Michael Crichton). The inspiration for and intended spirit of the game can be summed up by the following quote from the film...
"Lo, there do I see my father
Lo, there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers
Lo, there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning
Lo, they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever."
The character images provided are taken from the film "The 13th Warrior" by John McTiernan and from "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" by PeterJackson/Wingnut Productions.
