Odin’s Wrath – Vikings, Dragons, and Trolls…oh my!! – February 17th and 18th
Once known to shake the cosmos when unleashing his infamous anger, Odin’s Wrath, unintentionally ignited the emergence of once fabled creatures. Upon this Titan’s wake, from the depths of the earth, an ancient magic that was once banished, was released. What arose from the dirt, to be known as trolls and goblins; and from the trees, fairies and elves; and from the stones and sulfur, came the fiercest of all: the Dragons. As the storied creatures continued to materialize from the depths of ancient legends, a harmonious connection formed between them and the world of Viking and Valkyrie. Elves shared their wisdom, Dwarves crafted wonders, and Goblins, Pixies, and Fairies added enchantment to the natural world. Dragons soared majestically across the skies, and Trolls and Frost Giants found common ground with the inhabitants of Midgard. It wasn’t just the resurgence of mythical beings; it was the dawn of an era where the mystical and the ordinary coexisted in perfect balance, weaving a tapestry of magic and wonder that would be celebrated for generations to come.

With a twinkle in their eye and a mischievous grin, they sail the seven seas in search of plunder and glory.

Come with us, into the woods, and be sure to remember that what you Don’t write is just as important as what you Do write. For not every child knows how to be an adult, but every adult is capable of setting their inner child free. This is your chance to express the story you’ve always wanted to tell.
