Hersir Tola Bjornsen

Hersir Tola Bjornsen, known as the "Winter's Blade," governs the frontier city of Vinterborg in the Thanedom of Bjornskog. As the niece of Thane Ragnar Bjornsen, her appointment to this challenging post is seen by many as a test of her worthiness to potentially inherit the title of Thane. Tola's assignment to Vinterborg came after a series of impressive military victories against troll raiding parties. However, her aggressive tactics led to significant casualties, causing concern among some of the Thanedom's elders. Her uncle, Thane Ragnar, sent her to Vinterborg to prove she could balance martial prowess with wise governance.
