Welcome to That Midgard Show! In this episode, we take a temporary detour from the Empire of the Ghouls campaign for the next few episodes to discuss the locations and lore of the Northlands before moving on to the next chapter, "Catacombs of the Ghul King".

In the last two episodes, we discussed "The Blood Marriage" chapter, which led our heroes to Wolfheim, Huldramose, and Norheim. However, we don't want to leave out the other Northlands regions while we're here.

In our Creature Showcase, we discuss the Ice Elemental from Tome of Beasts 2 and the Ankou Soul Herald from Creature Codex.
