You can rely on your wits and become a world travelling trader. Lend your arms and make your living as a mercenary. Or set forward to raid and settle new lands.
In Norse mythology, Midgard is the world of men. Of the nine worlds, Midgard separates the world of the gods from the world of the giants and the darker worlds. And since a world cannot truly be a world without inhabitants, Odin and his brothers created man.
Our Midgard is what would be considered fictional history or mythical past. Meaning that while the origin of the setting was real, we added some steps from Norse Mythology to make it a bit more epic.
The Midgard setting takes place in the Viking era, between 750 and 1050 Common Era. Norse settlements are in an Iron age technology but were influenced by more technologically advanced civilizations.
Depending on how big the GM wants the world to be, you can travel to many places. The Vikings had dealings with the Franks, through the descendants of Charlemagne, raided the English Isles, had contact with the Byzantine Empire in Miklagard (Constantinople), met with Chinese and Persian traders in Rus Kiel and Novgorod, and travelled as far as Vinland (North America).
To play this setting you will also need the Genesys RPG Core book and If your interested in spicing the setting up with more Mythis touches you can use the Genesys RPG Extended players guide to add the "Mythic" setting to add Demigods and Godly weapons, please check out our Amazon and DriveThruRPG links:
