The gods are dead. In their wake, man and giant survived through a tenuous alliance, driving black destroyers called dredge deep into the northern wastes. Now is an era of growth and trade. Life goes on. Only one thing has stopped. The sun.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Banner Saga is a tactical RPG developed by Stoic Studios. It is a series of tales set in a fantasy north, where humans struggle to coexist with the varl, a race of horned giants. They live in the shadow of a race of armored beings known as the Dredge, forcing them into an uneasy alliance. One day, the Dredge attack again, threatening all of mortal civilization.The game can be described as a mixture of Western RPGs, tactical RPGs and The Oregon Trail. Although the focus is on RPG elements, the choices the player makes (including difficult moral ones) can have a large effect on the story.There is also a free-to-play spinoff named The Banner Saga: Factions focused entirely on player-versus-player combat.A sequel, The Banner Saga 2 has been released as of April 19, 2016. The final game in the trilogy, The Banner Saga 3 was Kickstarted and was later released on July 26, 2018. Stoic has also said that if the trilogy is successful, they might make more games in the setting.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

All There in the Manual: There's a lot of lore and worldbuilding on the in-game map, and characters' pages on the roster contain their backgrounds. There's also a lot of information only accessible at the godstones. | |

Always Chaotic Evil | |
| The Banner Saga (Video Game) / int_4832a3bb | comment |
Always Chaotic Evil: The Dredge, silent and alien. They murdered thousands during the second Great War; third one put Varl on the brink of extinction and reduced human civilization to a single desperate holdout in Arberrang. However, it is revealed that Dredge weren't invading the kingdoms of Varl and men - they were running, trying to save themselves from the Darkness. And then utterly subverted in 3, when it's revealed by Juno that the Valka are indirectly responsible for their angry suicide rage against the other races: At the climax of the second Great War, when the Valka learned that the Dredge's homeworld was powered by a miniature black sun that supercharged weaving, they went behind the alliance's back and forged a peace treaty with the Dredge, teaching them weaving and creating females for their race to reproduce in exchange for access to the black sun. Unfortunately, one of their number went rogue and attempted an unstable experiment with the black sun. It caused the mutant apocalypse, and the Dredge homeworld was ground zero. They think it was a genocidal first strike and are hellbent on getting revenge. | |

Alien Gender Confusion | |
| The Banner Saga (Video Game) / int_4b6d41e3 | comment |
Alien Gender Confusion: The stone-like Dredge have such incomprehensible biology compared to the setting's other, mammalian races that they initially assume every combatant they encounter is male. It's only when they realize some of them have children strapped to them that they realize the Dredge army comprises both sexes and are actually Invading Refugees. | |
