Theme

The themes of Stockholm by Night revolve around the martial conflicts and aspirations of the only major domain in Sweden, where the expansionist Viking elders in residence have given up none of their ancient dreams.

Themes explored in this game include:

The Gilded Cage

Learning to live in this world
is learning to live within a shell:
a crustacean hiding in a transparent white world.
Characters must contend with a world that traps them in ancient rules and laws at every turn and uses joy and love as levers for control.
The King is Dead

Let us sit and tell sad stories of the deaths of kings
for within the hollow crown that rounds the mortal temples
there Death holds patient court.
The elders who have held power here for generations have begun to disappear and even die, leaving the characters to try to navigate a world much too far above their heads.
Making Our Own Destiny

Destiny is choice, not chance;
not a thing to be waited for:
a thing to be pursued.
Characters struggle to choose their own futures and destinies apart from the paths chosen for them by their powerful elders.

Plot

The Domain of Albuquerque, NM, a contested territory with no centralized authority and home to various warring Independent factions, is the central location and power bloc around which events of the game revolve.
