The Keepers

The Keepers

aka the Keepers of Hasvik

Religious Sect of the Neo Viking Civilization on Nilfeheim

When the original Technology objecting Colonists arrived,it was decided to put everything that was deemed into a large Cave vault underneath Mount Muspleheim and place a Temple to the Gods above the Mountain. The Settlement at the foot of the Mountain was called Hasvik ( the reason or origin of that name is lost). The Arks were dismantled but unlike any other colony the Neo Vikings did not use the Arks for building material and the Engines for Energy reactors, they placed it all in said caves and to prevent any one group to be tempted to help themselves, a group of Guardians were chosen and called the Keepers. The Keepers were chosen by their devotion to the Gods. Their task of keeping the Technology away and their religious devotion blended into a new sect and religion over the millenia. Most of the Neo Vikings today don't remember the true purpose of the Keepers or what they are actually keeping. The technology they are guarding is long obsolete of course. The Keepers remain to be a Religious sect of Odin and Aseir worshipers and maintain a staff of volunteers ( usually second or third born sons of Old Clans) to “Keep the Halls of Hasvik” and the Statues of the Gods well tended. This is of course not their actual purpose but the so called real Keepers or the the ones living inside the mountain like to keep it that way.
