Beneath frostbitten burial mounds, the Draugr stir—undead warriors fueled by rage, greed, and curses that bind them beyond death. Unlike restless ghosts, these towering revenants wear rotted flesh and iron-hard skin, guarding their hoards with terrifying strength. Discover the origins of these Viking horrors, the infamous tale of Glamr and the doomed hero Grettir, and the ancient rituals meant to keep them buried forever. This is a journey into a dark myth where the dead refuse to rest, and the line between life and death twists into something deadly and unyielding.
