By request of Hypernoma, Winter and I have decided to write lore on all the Nords. This will be a list of stories explaining the background of each Nord unit. All of the stories will be compiled and posted at a later date.
Here are a few examples:
Angry Nord Wife- Benschie
The Nord wives were not always this angry. They used to be loving mothers and wives, until one day the ships came. Their sons and husbands were recruited by the Nords to fight in the war against Swadia. The wives waited at home for the day when the ships would come again and would bring back their families, but when they did come they only brought back the swords and axes of the fallen. The wives wept for days. The villages were quite, until one day a scream was heard. It was a wife in a fit of rage, swinging a frying pan in an attempt to fight off the ghosts of her family's killers (Tjav and NickyJ). In that moment, all the wives realized their purpose now that their families were dead. They must go fight. They must return to Swadia for vengeance.
Princess Dortea - Tee
Dortea is the youngest of King Ragnar's four children. As the King's only daughter she was destined for a life of diplomacy, but that was soon to change.
In celebration of her sixteenth year her brothers took her with them on a hunt for an elk. While her brothers hunted the prized animal, Dortea wandered, admiring the forest she had always been forbidden to enter. When she heard sounds of commotion behind her she ran back to find her brothers. She found two of her brothers lying dead on the ground, and her eldest brother backed up against a tree, wounded and surrounded by three foes. In a fit of rage she picked up the mace of her fallen brother and charged the three strangers, felling two of them before the third could react. The stranger swung down at her with his wicked axe, his eyes afire with a lust for blood. Instinctively, she raised her mace to meet his blow, miraculously deflecting the strike. A flurry of blows ensued, and Dortea emerged victorious.
Later Dortea learned the attackers were from Swadia. They had come from a small town destroyed by her father's invasion, and were near Ragnar's castle in the hope of finding vengeance.
Now it was Dortea who swore vengeance. She had awakened the blood of kings in her veins. It ran through her like fire, granting her a natural prowess in combat that would only grow with time. With two brothers dead, and the other crippled by his injuries, Dortea became the King's champion on the field of battle. She became an instrument in the destruction of Swadia. Her vengeance would not be complete until every Swadian lay dead beneath her feet.
No price was too great in her path of vengeance. No quarter would be given.
Swadia will burn.
It needs to be around a paragraph or two long. Also, please remember that you are writing in a third person plural form.
I will list the name of the Nords below and anyone interested in writing lore for a Nord will post a request to write the lore for that specific Nord. I will then send you a PM saying whether or not you can write the lore. If you get it, go ahead and start writing. When you finish, send me a PM with the name of the Nord and the lore that goes with it.*
