Some Backstory
One of the largest clans of the
Vanir, they were quickly taken into the fold by
Rostek Horak when the old jarl died of being too fat.
Asger Ericson, a young and skilled warrior of the Bjarki clan, found himself thrust into the role of Jarl unexpectedly. His father, the previous Jarl, met an untimely demise, and the responsibility of leading the clan fell upon Asger's shoulders. Despite the suddenness of his ascension, Asger embraced the mantle of leadership with determination and a deep sense of duty to Ursun.
Who They Are
The Bjarki clan's connection to Ursun extended beyond spiritual beliefs. They developed a unique ability to cultivate the land even in the harshest conditions. Their farms thrived amidst the snow, producing abundant crops that sustained the clan through the long, harsh winters. In times of peace, the Bjarki were known for their exceptional skills in agriculture, trade, and craftsmanship, making them a valuable asset to the broader northern communities.
Blessed by Ursun's divine favor, the Bjarki clan developed a remarkable resilience to the biting cold of their homeland. Their bodies seemed impervious to the most severe frost, allowing them to endure extreme temperatures without succumbing to the chill. This natural resistance became a source of awe and respect among neighboring tribes, establishing the Bjarki as hardy defenders of the North.
Asger Ericson, now Jarl of the Bjarki clan, faces the challenges of both leadership and divine expectations. The spiritual bond with Ursun is a double-edged sword, as other clans and external forces seek to exploit or challenge the unique strengths of the Bjarki. Asger must navigate these challenges, drawing upon the teachings of Ursun, the resilience of his people, and his own determination to lead the Bjarki to prosperity and glory in the unforgiving North.
