Haven's Embers is a Norse-based action rpg that follows a slave girl and two immortal wolves as they challenge the will of the Gods!
Synopsis:In a time before man, the great Fenrir wolf was fooled into chains. His children, Skoll and Hatti, alone dared an attempt to free him. They waged a short battle against the Gods, but were quickly overcome, and enslaved themselves.
Centuries later, a young slave girl dreams of becoming a renowned Shieldmaiden. During a chance encounter with the wolves, the world as she knows it will be turned upside down, and the choices she makes going forward could very well lead to the Ragnarok (end of days).
Join Eona, Skoll, and Hatti on their grand adventure, and through your choices, help shape the outcome of their journey. Can a young girl who has known only bitterness and resentment find the courage to be more than her past? Or, is she doomed only to pay it forward as others are forced to experience her pain?
You alone, will decide.
