conversations.value: This is the story of heroic mortals in Mythic Norden, mortals in a community beset upon all sides by vile creatures, harsh weather, and unknownable Myths. It is the story of these few heroes who wish to help their community endure the harshness of the Mythic World.
  
  Travelers tell of vast beings known as Mythenders who come and pronounce judgment to any village in their path, and they wreck havoc and chaos upon the land in their quest to eradicate the cruel gods of Norden. You feel it in your bones, that the Mythenders will one day -- not soon, but not distant -- visit upon your hamlet and forever change it.
  
  Can you help your community survive to that point? Can you get your community to a place where it is worthy and the Mythender will allow it to live?
  
  This is a blend of Mythender's Mythic Norden with the vibe of Mcdaldno's The Quiet Year.
