Norsemen

The Norsemen were a primitive tribe that lived in a network of underground tunnels in the mountainous, frozen north of Canada who dressed in the style of ancient Norsemen. The tribe was involved in a fued with a rival group called "giants" over the Hammer of the Gods that the giants had stolen from them.

When the Norsemen encountered a team of adventurers, they believed that one of the members was the reincarnation of one of their greatest heroes and wanted him to go on a quest to retrieve the artifact.
