How to Train Your Dragon: Berk's Night Fury title art, a Viking village on sea cliffs at dusk

OOC: The Playable Anime · Part 1 of 3

Shoot down a Night Fury and win Berk's heart.

The Isle of Berk

Berk village on stormy sea cliffs at dusk
Berk · home of the Hairy Hooligan tribe

For three hundred years, the dragons have come to Berk. They come at night, out of the fog, for sheep and fish and rooftops to burn. Every Viking grows up with an axe in hand. Every Viking except you, the chief's odd, scrawny heir, who would rather tinker in Gobber's forge with contraptions that mostly explode.

Berk is a rain-lashed Viking isle twelve days north of hopeless: steep green cliffs, endless rain and snow, and turf-roofed longhouses rebuilt after every raid. Catapult towers ring the cliffs under Captain Sigrid's night watch. The Great Hall is carved into the mountain at the top of a long stair. Here, Vikings measure worth in dragons killed, and sheep are the dragons' favorite target.

The Premise

On the worst raid in years, you aim your homemade bola launcher at the empty dark and pull the lever. Something screams. Something falls, far beyond Raven Point. Nobody saw it but you, and nobody is going to believe you.

Free him, name him and build him a tail-fin. Learn to fly in secret while your father hunts the dragons' nest. Use dragon tricks to become the star of the Kill Ring without ever hurting a dragon. And six bold women of Berk are starting to notice the heir's late nights, burns and fish baskets.

🐉 The Night Fury Secret

The dragon you downed is the only known Night Fury, the "unholy offspring of lightning and death itself." The bola tore off his left tail-fin, so he can never fly alone again. He's trapped in a hidden cove, and his life depends on one thing: nobody finding out.

Ragna's trap lines run through the woods. Sigrid's patrols sweep Raven Point. Eira gathers herbs at the rim. Helga keeps counting her missing fish. Every heroine is one clue away from the truth. Who learns your secret, and when, is up to you.

⚔️ Why the Dragons Raid

The dragons aren't evil. They feed a monstrous queen hidden in a fogbound nest past Helheim's Gate: the Red Death, who eats any dragon that comes back empty-handed. Only a dragon can find the way there. Your father, Stoick the Vast, would give anything to find it.
