| Persona: I am a varangian kievan rus born
in 920 AD. My mother was unwed and my father was known only
by my grandfather. When
my uncles returned from war against the Byzantines, they
found my mother Pregnant. Since the stranger had helped the
family weather the harsh winter months, I was allowed to Be born but was denied my
family's last name. I was born in early spring and given
the name Roric In honor
of my grandfather who served Rurik the Varangian in
establishing Novgorod. My uncle stayed Behind to train the "runt" of
the group in the ways of being a warrior. After several
battles, my last name Of
Heimdallson was awarded when my uncle and myself waited for
the precise time to attach a foreign vessel and crushed a full charge
from out enemies. The survivors stated that I had the
patience in Battle of a young Heimdall. Several years later
I was hired as a Varangian guard for the Emperor of Byzantium and served faithfully
for several years. When my uncle lay dying, he spoke of a
far off Kingdom of great
wealth and fame and a challenge that no Norseman could
pass. Seeking my fame
And fortune, I set sail for the coast of An Tir. I have
been here ever since, working on the saga known as the "Sergeantry of Terra Pomaria". |
