Volskøl
For most of the year, nothing is here but an open field and the remains of last year’s Grand Festival. In the late summer months, people filter in and set up tents, and by harvest time, Voskøl becomes a thriving tent city of traders, farmers peddling their harvest, skirmishing bands of warriors, and vikings fresh back from the raiding season. All manner of folk come to Voskøl from across the Northlands and even far beyond. Like most of Vastavikland, the law here is based on force and might, though open theft and brigandage (at least within Voskøl) is generally met with violence from all and sundry. The Grand Festival ends with the first harvest moon and a huge bonfire party where the tents of this season, as well as a portion of every trade or deal made, is burned in offering to Wotan for his wisdom and might. This, of course, is followed by a three-day revel of drunkenness that sees many of the non-Northlander visitors quietly slipping away before the jovial mood changes, as well as the thorough destruction of The Camp.
