Lead Ravenmoor, a small northern village trapped under the shadow of the Danelaw. Rebuild its defenses by day, send villagers into the wild for food, iron, and hard-won knowledge, then survive the raids that come with night. Description Ravenmoor is a dark medieval survival strategy game inspired by 9th-century England, the age of the Danelaw, and the pressure of Viking rule on the north. You are the new leader of Ravenmoor, a small village left broken after its old lord was killed. The granaries are nearly empty, the fences are shattered, and your people have learned to live in fear of the night. But Ravenmoor is not meant to remain a forgotten settlement. Your task is not only to keep it alive, but to turn it into the heart of a growing regional resistance. Each morning, you make decisions that shape the future of the village. Send your people to gather food, wood, stone, and iron. Scout dangerous nodes, strike enemy camps, and rescue nearby settlements. Arm your villagers, assign armor, strengthen your economy, and prepare for the next raid before the sun goes down. At night, the cost of every decision is tested. Food, morale, wounded villagers, weapons, and armor are not just systems. They are the language of Ravenmoor’s story. Every expedition carries risk. Every missing villager matters. Every liberated settlement proves that Ravenmoor is becoming more than a village. From Border Village to Trade Town, from survival to regional power, your road eventually leads toward the heart of the Danelaw itself: Jorvik. Story The north has changed. After the fall of York into Viking hands, a new order spreads across the land: tribute, fear, hunger, and forced loyalty. Ravenmoor lies in that shadow, too small to matter to kings, but too stubborn to disappear. Its old lord is gone. Its people endure because they must. You step into the role of Ravenmoor’s new leader, not as a crowned ruler or distant commander, but as someone forced to choose between fear and hunger, defense and risk, survival and ambition. First Ravenmoor must endure. Then it must rescue others. In time, it may become a name strong enough to challenge the order closing in around it.
