Hakon’s group – the Varl – are attempting to make their way to the Varl capital, with a human prince in tow, in the hopes of forging an alliance between the two races. This split allows us to see the full extent of the devastation, as the two caravans travel east and west, wandering into devastated towns, burned down villages and through piles of corpses. It starts as several stories, intricate and weighty, separated by massive regions, following the trials and tribulations of two different caravans: one predominantly varl, and the other a group of humans fleeing the destruction of their village at the hands of the Dredge.
The world is ending, and as the plight of human and varl alike becomes all the more grim, the game becomes a desperate struggle for survival against the odds. The Banner Saga is a story of journeys from one snow-dappled town to another, as caravans of refugees and gruff warriors attempt to escape a vicious tide of monstrous, uncaring enemies known as the Dredge.
