Rise of a Viking: Noble Claim is set in 650 AD and takes place in the Scottish highlands and Norwegian Fjords. A band of Viking warriors led by Olaf, the eldest of two noble born sons, leads two once rivaling clans across the seas to complete their first epic raiding campaign in the West. While Olaf stands leader and rightful heir to lordship, his father, the mighty Earl Jora, favors the younger of his two sons, Erik, for his strength, heroic nature and ferocity in battle. Envious of his younger half brothers success and angered by threats that his title may be stripped upon his return, Olaf seeks a new alliance with his fathers old Foe, Bilhar in an attempt to ensure his noble claim is secured.
