Vampire: The Dark Ages is a nice change of pace from the usual White Wolf vampire cliches. But this book has got to be their finest work. It gives detailed background on the Norse people during the Middle Ages, from the height of the Vikings power to their inevitable fall to the forces of Christianity. Its a setting for a Role-Playing Game, and if you can get your Storyteller to move out of the "civilized " east of europe and into the harsh world of the north, you're in for one hell of a chronicle. For Honor! For Glory! For Asgard!

A positive surprise
3 Dec 1999
I admit I only bought this book because I collect all VtDA material. I was really surprised of its excellent quality, I expected some kind of cheesy Viking book, but Wolves of the Sea immerses you in Norse mythology and culture. It would be an interesting read even if no vampires were featured in it. The material concerning vampires is top notch, too. Lots of interesting concepts, new discipline uses and excellent merits and flaws.
The only drawback: it won't be compatible with every VtDA chronicle. On the other hand, it can enrich your campaign and creative players may create memorable characters.

A truly incredible reference book
29 Jun 2000
If you're playing a norse character, or one will be in your game...buy this book! It's top notch. Even if you're not playing dark ages, if your modern day vampire came from this time period, buy this book. IT's a great read, a fantastic look at Norse society, history, and mythology, and has some truly wonderful and inventive new disciplines from the frozen northern wastes. It's one of the best supplements I've seen In years. I've used almost every single page of it. Trust me. You won't be disappointed. And for a newer white wolf supplement...that's about as high a praise as i can possibly give.
