Best known as fierce raiders from a land of snow and legend, the Norse were a complex society where loyalty was based on more than a noble bloodline. Leaders had to prove themselves as warriors, yes, but also as judges and governors.

Northern Lords is the first Flavor Pack for Crusader Kings III, one of the best reviewed games of 2020. It offers new events and cultural themes related to Norse society.

Crusader Kings 3 is getting a viking themed mini-expansion next week

It's been over six months since medieval grand strategy game Crusader Kings 3 murdered its way into our hearts, and everyone's been eagerly awaiting news as to what's coming next. We've known today's Paradox Insider event was going to bring news regarding the historical strategy game's first serious slice of post-release content, and the first Crusader Kings 3 DLC has been revealed as Northern Lords.

The question is, will this be enough to satiate everyone's appetites? This first expansion is a 'flavour pack'. You might also know them as 'immersion packs', or even 'country packs' from some of the other games Paradox makes. These are essentially minor add-ons that focus on small features or thematic content, as opposed to introducing major new mechanics or overhauls.

Northern Lords mainly focuses on introducing new thematic assets for characters of the Norse culture. There will be new character art (including new hairstyles and clothes), new music, and new 3D models for things like holdings and units. There's also a bunch of scripted content involving new events, decisions, even legacies.
