Loki's Hammer has a medieval theme to it. The characters are living in a city that is similar to those of Europe in the middle ages, however there are a number of differences. The city and surrounding lands are under siege from a enemy that is hard t see, and strike without warning. This breeds an air of distrust and fear in most people's day-to-day lives. Added to this a number of secret and not so secret societies all working towards their own ends and the Noble houses each trying to outdo the other to increase their influence of the Royal Council and this city often shimmers with tension. Outside in the darkness, great knights and town guards clash with elven raiders to protect farmers, while inside the walls, musicians entertain the common folk with music and dance in the inns. Last Haven is can be a dangerous place, but also one of excitement and intrigue. Most of all however, it is what you make of it.
