As the most southerly of the Norse kingdoms, they came into contact with the southern European peoples early on, treating them with an uncharacteristic openness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter this, many left their lands to seek their fortunes elsewhere, returning with more than just gold. One recognised the potential of the Roman alphabet, adopting it to suit his native tongue and the writing materials available in the north. This led to the creation of the first runic alphabet, which rapidly spread across northern Europe, greatly enhancing the Nordic peoples’ culture and trade, resulting in the creation of objects combining both exotic resources and traditional Nordic styles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, neither wealth nor culture has dampened the Dani’s desire for conquest. Many northern tribes plunder foreign shores yet neglect their own; not so the Dani. Poised to take advantage of the ensuing upheaval, they strive to forge a grand Nordic empire to outlast that of Rome!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Geats\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLegendary ancestors of Beowulf, the Geati manifest all the intrepid boldness of the famous hero. From their stronghold on the southern tip of the Swedish peninsula they have naval access to the whole of northern Europe, allowing them to launch frequent raids without fear of retribution. The most glorious of these exploits are told in the Geati’s rich oral tradition, immortalising their leaders and inspiring a new generation to seek glory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the arrival of the Huns in Europe has meant disaster for most, for the Geati it is just another opportunity. Recently their king, Gizur, led a force into central Europe to fight alongside the Goths in exchange for Roman gold and goods – there are rich pickings to be gained fighting for the highest bidder in the south. Crisis is blooming in these fertile lands, and the Geati are determined to be at its heart, profiting from it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Jutes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ocean laps the coasts of Juteland, summoning its inhabitants to new adventures and conquests. As such, the Juti have always been the most intrepid of the Norse-speaking peoples, looking to distant shores or clashing over the sparse northern lands. Accordingly, they are in the perfect position to profit from the slow collapse of Roman Britannia, and relentlessly plunder its coast as its defenders dwindle in number.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Juti leadership use the spoils of their raids to make exquisite, prestige goods. Should the Juti succeed in conquering Britannia, many more will no doubt be forged. A successful conquest would be a great undertaking, and one requiring them to draw on the very depths of their fortitude. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo drive out the remaining Romans, subdue the belligerent locals, and foil the ambitions of their Saxon neighbours who also covet this green and pleasant land – the Juti have vowed no less!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bb_img_ctn\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"bb_img\" src=\"https:\/\/shared.akamai.steamstatic.com\/store_item_assets\/steam\/apps\/335020\/extras\/1c2b6422b439a94c600be26e6e2e72c4.avif?t=1782985179\" width=\"628\" height=\"180\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"SEGA, Feral Interactive","offers":[{"title":"Standard \/ GLOBAL","offer_id":46766121189537,"sku":"335020-GLOBAL","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/4753\/9873\/files\/capsule_616x353_11cf8b8d-31f7-4986-b58f-f6edc1068fb0.jpg?v=1785307820","url":"https:\/\/playzoomi.com\/pl\/products\/total-war-attila-viking-forefathers-culture-pack-pc-steam","provider":"PlayZoomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
