Northgard - Nidhogg, Clan of the Dragon

Exhausters of life, Nidhog’s followers exploit thralls to fuel their ravenous economy and human sacrifice to produce their wicked dragon essence. This sinister power can ultimately run them into dragonkins, revealing their inhumanity.





Dreadful and draconian, Surtr used violence to take over the dragon’s clan. One-armed bringer of doom, he appeared in the flames of Muspell and will not respite until they cover the land of the Aesir.





The Nidhogg sacrificial pyre is the symbol of their power. They gain the blessings of their gods by giving thralls as offerings. They are also willing to throw their own as long as the sacrifice continues. If they don’t, this power might slip between their hands, and it won’t be long for a revolt to start.

With an ancient rite at their altars, simple villagers can become Dragonkins, ferocious warriors infused with the dragon essence. Who knows what those rites do to their humanity…And what more could they do.
