Personal history

As a child, Vomra would be left with his mother (Gislö) while his father (Abiorn) was away to the sea. He would be working as a seafarer and tradesman. During the time the dad was away, Vomra was abused by his mother because she was sick, and handling the challanges of parenthood all by herself was too much for her to handle. Vomra was her first child and she directed her own problems in unhealthy ways. For the longest time Vomra wondered why he was "wrong" and why his mother acted so mean towards him. He became frightened of the periods his father wasn't home, because his mother would often hit him and scream at him, he became the scapegoat for whatever bad things was happening to the family. Even as Gislö and Abiorn had more children, only Vomra was badly neglected. Eventually, in his very early teens, his coping mechanism was to get away, and that is why Vomra started running away for days on end and only coming back home when he thought his mother wasn't there.
When he was finally twelve, his father Abiorn began taking Vomra with him as a helper on his sea wayfaring. On these voyages he would finally be able to see distant shores other than the area he grew up in and other villages and towns.
It was during his travels that Vomra started mainly worshipping Voell the god of the seas, as the oceans were such a prevalent and dangerous element in his formative youth.
