[Hider=Viking King] [Center][B][U]- Steinheim, City in the mists, Jewel of Österland -[/U][/B][/Center] The northern wastes are some of the most inhabitable places on earth, rivers freeze, plants wither, even the sun is reluctant to show itself. Despite all the hardships however, man has found the means to survive winters bite. Mountains of men, if you believe the tales, have gathered in the only known city of the north, Steinheim: and if you hang on the tales of some men, there is one the north has produced who has united the northern nomads. All the scum and exiles that find themselves clinging to life have been assembled into one band, one city. The man responsible for uniting the North-men is one Kagan Völland. His claim as king is under the notion that his family was once the greatest in all the world, a fact disputed by all but his own. A beast of a man he was able to command a number of north-men through violence alone, but the more men he gathered the less he had to display his strength. In battle the red mist descends but without the sweet pitch of battle Kagan is notoriously cunning, and he understands the power of spoken word. Either to rouse his men or to spread the legend he wishes to become he is more intelligent than many give him credit for. Believed to have been blessed by the gods, Kagan has not yet found an equal on the battlefield. Each swing of his beloved Ghröl, passed down to him by his father, clears swaths of men, crushing shield and bone alike. His men are some of the most resilient alive, having to cope with the harsh conditions of the north. They number few, they know naught but strive, yet under the banner of King Völland, they head south. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Center][B][U]- Kagan Völland, King of Steinheim, Chieftain of the Sturnvold -[/U][/B][/Center] [Center][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/iqufvn3.jpg[/IMG][/Center] [Center]- [B]Jet Black Hair | 6'5" | 235lbs | Ice Blue Eyes[/B] -[/Center] [Center][I]"The mists of the North have shrouded us for far to long brothers, The world does not know our name, they do not know MY name, A king rises in the north, Remember this day, For it is my beginning!
