Skarnheim is a nation of Valrindor, south of Vintergard, with Rimvold as its capital. Sigurd governs from Rimvold.
Land and settlements
Forests, winding rivers and plains stretch between Skarnheim's settlements. Its coast includes fjords and villages built on cliffs above the sea. Rimvold stands at the foot of mountains covered in snow, with pine forests to its south. Waterways connect the inland country to the coast. The capital's Great Hall houses Skarnheim's leadership, and its fortified buildings made of timber and iron bear extensive runic carvings.
Runic craftsmanship
Runes are worked into weapons, buildings and protective barriers. Carvings on settlement streets and surfaces resist illusions and magical tampering. Skarnheim's fighters use runic weapons alongside shields maintained by its mages.
The shaper attack
Sigurd and Svanhild led Skarnheim's defense when Zharrek and his shapers attacked Rimvold. They fought outside the city to limit damage, aided by Jin and Silas. The fighting drained the surrounding land and disrupted its rivers. Zharrek's final spell sent an asteroid toward the capital; Silas and Zal’therak drew it into the void, sparing Rimvold.

History
Independence from Malverand
In 2085 AX, Thalion Zenith declared Skarnheim independent of Malverand, making Rimvold its capital. Cities formerly administered under Varnhallow came under Skarnheim's rule. In 2103 AX, he installed Queen Sylvia as the public monarch, while the Order of Thalion Zenith continued to guide the nation behind that monarchy.

After the war against Malverand's guardians, Skarnheim rebuilt its cities. Many skyships were dismantled and others concealed to prevent their weapons from being copied. Sylvia gradually withdrew the Order from public life.

Ulzathir's occupation and restoration
Zain occupied Rimvold with Ulzathir's forces, driving its defenders toward Bjarnholt and Jazarel. Virel led a coalition to retake the capital, with Leif and Thorik among its defenders. During the battle, Gabriel and Maric turned the western plains into molten rock; Maric cooled them into thick black stone. Ulzathir withdrew, and Thorik oversaw restoration of Rimvold and Skarnheim.
Azarion's hurricane swept central Valrindor, damaging Korrvold's roofs and threatening a coastal village whose cliff was collapsing into the sea. Mages repaired the city, while Jin reinforced the cliff and raised a windbreak for the village.
Sigurd chose to spend his remaining years away from Rimvold. Leif succeeded him as king, assisted by Halgarr, and Thorik returned to Stormhaven.
