Lyngbakr

Overview

The Clan of the Kraken knows first hand how dangerous the sea can be. They worship the gigantic Creature, fearing it's brutal might, honoring it's instinctual knowledge, and using its powers when he deigns bestow them. The clan's capacity to thrive is tied to the terrain because of its maluses on non-coastal areas. However, with enough access to shores, kraken benefit from fisheries producing good and stable food income, which can easily be sold against kröwns and lore. Its unique resource, Wyrd, can be scarce at the beginning but will become more abundant as the settlement extend. With high levels of Happiness thanks to the Norns and its military knowledges, kraken will be able to summon in the later stages of the game vast armies that would be eventually reinforced by a Valkyrie and deadly Spectral Warriors.
