# The northern world of ScandiCraft

The Viking world is not scenery dropped on top of a PvP/Faction server. From spawn to the warzone, it drives the builds, the names, the gear and the atmosphere — right down to the launcher interface.

- Cold, rock, conifer forests, fortresses and forges: a consistent art direction.
- The fantastic stays measured: it feeds the legend without softening the harshness.
- Spawn takes you in as a safezone; the warzone lets you fight where no claim applies.

## Spawn, the gate to the kingdom

You arrive in a hand-built spawn: frozen lands, the northern fortress, the dragon gate and a wooded village. It is a safezone — nobody attacks you there, and the signs and useful commands are posted on site.

## The warzone, where factions meet

The war zone is a dedicated fighting ground: faction claims do not apply, PvP is on, and explosions are blocked. It is where factions meet without raiding.

## A consistent art direction

Metal, wood, stone, runes and ScandiCraft red tie the gear, the interfaces and the environments together.

## Frequently asked questions about the world

**Do I have to roleplay a Viking?**

No. The world sets the scenery and the atmosphere; how you play is yours.

**Is there magic on ScandiCraft?**

The fantastic exists but stays measured. It serves the legend of the world without turning the server into a magic game.

**Is the world hand-built?**

Spawn and the landmark locations are built for ScandiCraft. You can see images of them on the home page.
