Jarl: Ragnar Wolfsbane Path: Path of the Crow Household: -Ragnar Wolfsbane, 34, is the current Jarl of Coldmarch and has been for the past 15 years. He prefers the warmth of his Moot robes too the cold metal of armour. Do not think that he is weak though; he will never back away from a fight and will do whatever it takes to keep his people safe. For many years he has been acting as a ‘Kingmaker’ never actually making a play for the crown but always indispensable to the man with it. While some of the leaders deal in blood and death he deals in treaties and plots. He is an ambitious man and will always try to get his way. -Gilgak Wolfsbane, 14, is the son if the Jarl. As is tradition of Coldmarch Gilgak is the son of one of the numerous maidens in his father’s haram however he feels no shame in this and regularly jokes about this with the nobility in his own and others holds. Much like his father he is ambitious and tries to act much older than he actually is in an attempt to emulate the man he idolises, his father. -Fredrik Starok, 38, is a Thane of Coldmarch. This is one of Jarl Ragnar’s best friends and has been since childhood. His is a veteran of many battles and leads Coldmarch’s forces during times of war as Ragnar steps down to his superior knowledge during war time. -Olaf Greystone, 22, is a Thane of Coldmarch. Olaf made his position in Coldmarch as an expert at running the lands. He can move gold and organise the economy like no other man in Coldmarch, though is still no match for the greatest of Norsia, and regularly is left to organise the peasantry and industry when the Moot and politics take Ragnar away. -Erik Longtooth, 66, is the final Thane of Coldmarch. Erik has been a Thane for three previous Jarls and is trusted by them all. He made his position through knowing the people and keeping the support of the masses. Through this he is used a lot by the Jarl to drive the masses in a direction that better suits the goals of Coldmarch and years of honing this skill have made him an expert. Dynasty Bio: The Wolfbanes have always ruled in Coldmarch. Only because they have always been the strongest. The Jarl commands a harem of women that take his fancy and he fathers many children. However one is selected at the age of 10 to be the protegee and next Jarl. He is tutored and taught by the current Jarl as well as the Thanes of COldmarch in running the fief and dealing in the politics. Also in the dark rooms of Colmarch he is trained in clandestine activities that are renowned around Norsia. The Wolfbanes have always been adept at pushing buttons without being seen and this is a heritage that is passed won very strongly. Many of the Wolfbanes have been Spy-Masters and despite one moment when a Wolfbane made for King they have been content there. They find being king is simply to high a perch to fall from and that they are better served playing from the sidelines. Province Name and Number: 2, Coldmarch.
