[color=gray][list]Storrholt, loosesly translated from the mother tongue as the Great Woodland, is a densely packed region of forest and farmland with a spattering of rolling hills and mountains in the far north of Ardacia. Due to the conservationist efforts of their ancestors and the spiritual significance placed on animals, Storrholt is teeming with both plant and wildlife. These creatures range from hares and foxes and stags to the gigantic direbears that have become synonymous with the region as a whole and its royal family.[/list][/color]

[color=gray][list]Since the days of their ancestors the Storr have worshiped the two moons as the "Mothers of Man" in a sort of folk, druidic faith centered around the life giving properties of the moons' guiding light during their days in the vast darkness of the Winter Wastes. Due to the circumstances of their migration to Ardacia also began to put great spiritual importance on the primal forces of nature, from wildlife to the elements themselves. Because of this importance, methods of execution in Storrholt correspond to the four elemental seasons, these methods range from being buried and burned alive to suffocation and being stripped naked and left to freeze to death. Storr holidays center around the various solstices. It was not until long after their arrival in Ardacia that the Storr adopted the names Eirtu & Elonar for the two moons. After the arrival of Ardall the Conqueror, [/list][/color]

[color=gray][list]Ancient history or some shit.

House Osbjorn has ruled Storrholt unopposed for many centuries, and stands as one of the oldest lines in all of Ardacia, claiming descent as far back as the Dawn of Mankind. When "those that came before" lived in the region now known only as the Winter Wastes, the great Hero King Bjorn unified the tribes of their ancestors and led a migration across the Wastes before coming to the great expanse of the Singing Sea, where he spent an entire year building a fleet of longships. It is unknown, even to the Storr, just how long their ancestors sailed from their homeland to Ardacia. When they arrived, Bjorn swiftly had his people begin the process of felling trees for their homes. According to folk tales, Bjorn would be approahced by the mother of all Direbears, furious at the Storr's mindless destruction of her homeland. Bjorn and the She Bear would wrestle for an entire phase of the two moons, and thereafter Bjorn entered into a sacred pact with the creatures of the forest, and he would take the direbear for both his lifelong companion and personal sigil.

Elf shit if we're doing that.[/list][/color]
