I thought this until I actually got to read it. It's a linear-plot
Lunar-bash. Very tough, but requiring zero PC initiative. Try setting
your campaign back to 1616 or so (the original Borderlands date),
then you've got five game years to play with. Or even earlier.

I thought this myself. The collection of all I could find on Pent is at:

Nothing new or exciting, but it may help.

In Pent??? Surely Mongols, Skythians, or some other horse-nomad type
would be more suited to the place. I don't remember any Scandanavian
horse nomads myself - anyone want to tell me about some?
If you want Scandanavian, surely you need a land/sea mix with no horses. The Wolf Pirates are Hollywood Vikings, of course, or Heortland would be the next closest I can think of. (I prefer Joerg's version, but your tastes may differ).
On Blank Heroes and Blank Deeds: how about killing the Bat? We all know it was defeated at Whitewall, but has the method or the list of combatants ever been made official? Maybe Broyan got your PCs to do the job.
Who actually was it who summoned the Brown Dragon? We know a few of the names, but not all: maybe they were PCs?
