Setting: Edda [Jotunn and the Cult of Ragnarok]

Jotunnar

Extra-system invaders, the Jotunnar are an alien force of raiders

Not much is known about their governance, other than a propensity for abduction. From the few survivors of Jotuun attacks, tales of towering soldiers and brutal efficiency abound.
The immense size and weight of abandoned weapons and vehicles give these tales disturbing credence

The Aesir government does all it can to cover up these findings. Most attacks are blamed on pirates and rebel cells.

The Cult of Ragnarok

An underground doomsday cult that worships the Bifrost as the gateway to the end of Real-Space. They believes all life will come to an end when, “the sons of Surtr return to avenge Ymir”.

Covered up discoveries of ancient tombs and facilities all across the nine worlds have revealed that the prophecy might be more than myth, and that the Jutonnar are likely these returning sons of Surtr.

Midgir and lower ranking Aesir, who stumble upon these remnants, are silenced. Those who aren’t either incite revolt, or are driven to mad savagery by the revelation, joining Ragnarok’s call to endless destruction.
