Viking Modern Dice Set: Niflheim

In Viking culture, Niflheim is the realm at the roots of the World Tree, Yggdrasil. It is the domain of Hel, the ruler of those who died in a cowardly manner—those who were unlucky enough not to fall in glorious battle, weapon in hand. Niflheim was a realm of dreadful, bone-chilling cold, and its deep darkness was only diversified by impenetrable fog that enveloped everything. Demons, against whom the Vikings felt a superstitious fear, also occupied this realm. Meeting one’s end in Niflheim was the worst fate a warrior could imagine after death.

It is unquestionably fitting to call this new Modern Viking Dice Set by this realm’s name. The copper engravings are reminiscent of the old jewelry placed in the ground with the deceased, and the misty-colored material further enhances the impression of Niflheim’s ominous atmosphere. The remarkable legibility of the digits, surrounded by immersive patterns inspired by Viking ornaments, is both mystical and straightforward.

Like our first set of polyhedrons from this line—Viking Dice Set: Valhalla—this one also references Norse mythology and culture. However, its appeal is not limited to brash warriors! It is equally suitable for a necromancer who raises his minions, a sailor lost on the high seas, a researcher of supernatural phenomena, or a rogue sneaking up on his target in the morning mist.
