Greetings, vikings!
2026 is here, and we hope you’re just as eager for this year as we are! We’ve been having quite a bit of winter weather here in our corner of the world lately, which feels apt as we’ll be sharing with you the ninth part of The Voyage of Hervor Bloodtooth today:
What was it that she saw, snow and frost covering more than just the Deep North or the Mountains? Only dreams, perhaps, or visions of something yet to come…
That looks a bit cold, doesn’t it? Though in the Deep North you will learn to deal with something even colder, such as this brand new addition to your workshop: The Frost Foundry!
Build of the Month
As we had no blog post in December, we want to share two builds now instead! First out is Ashtaters with an elegant bridge portal – looking good!
And then we also want to highlight this harbour base that Mardy is building, with so many details!
Great work the both of you! If you want your creation to be featured in this section, use the hashtag #ValheimBotM on social media. Please also send us a DM or email with a link to your post, to make sure that we see it. Now you can also submit builds on Discord, by posting in the build-of-the-month forum channel! No DM is necessary if you post there, as that’s our own forum.
May your swords be sharp!
