Important Figures

Family

KingBjarn.jpeg
King Bjarn
King of Svartsten • Father
My father is a hero of his people, and they love him for his fierceness and his willingness to shed blood in the name of Svartstenfolk. While a fierce-visaged warrior makes for an excellent hero-king, he does not make for the best father. Oh, he isn't just a savage, of course; he wishes nothing more than for our people to join the larger world. But above all, he is ambitious, and that ambition always extended to me. I do not hate him, but I know I am a terrible, terrible disappointment to him, with interests in neither war nor politics nor economics. He thinks I do not see him at court events, watching me, subtly shaking his head at me occasionally. But I do. I know.

Queen Gyselle
The Witch-Queen of Svarsten • Mother (Deceased)
My mother was a mystery to the court. Father returned from war with her riding beside him, an owl on the pommel of her saddle, and she never left her side thereafter. Though she was the second of his wives, she bore him a child before the queen he left in Monument, Ludaya, could manage to do so (mostly because my mother conceived me when she first met my father, away at war). She was fey and feared, keeping company with her owl. It was whispered that she knew things she shouldn't have been able to know, and practiced dark magics. For myself? I loved her deeply, and she fostered in me my love of the wildernesses and ancient places. She understood my dark moods and praised my poetry. If she was a witch, her powers did not save her, for she died from a sickness of the lungs. Though she died five years ago, I still grieve her loss terribly.

Queen Mother Kalmenia
The Dowager-Queen of Svarsten • Grandmother
My grandmother is a severe woman - the mother of warriors of renown, without question. She first put swords in the hands of her children and grandchildren, and is adamant that they must all learn to fight before they do anything else. She herself was a shield-maiden of great renown, and can still wield a spear with terrifying skill. These days, though, the cold seeps into her bones, and she is more spare with her movements. But her dark eyes see everything, and she is still my father's first and foremost advisor. She and I have a...polite relationship at best. She never liked my mother, and some of that has bled into her relationship with me.
QueenLudaya.jpg
Queen Ludaya
The Silver-Queen of Svarsten
My father's first queen, Ludaya is sweet natured and well-spoken - unsurprising, given her birth as the daughter of a very successful Haslanti merchant-prince. Her striking tattoos (a Haslanti affectation in vogue during her adolescence) and her preference for dressing in fine materials always set her apart, and though my grandmother holds her in contempt for her inability to fight, her wit and her tongue serve her better than any axe could. Ludaya was jealous of my mother - she'd married my father right before he departed for war, and when he returned, he brought with him another bride, already pregnant with an heir! She outright despises me, as well, and constantly works to drive a wedge between myself and her first-born daughter, Ithyah.
Ithyah.jpg
Princess Ithyah Bjarnsdottir
Princess of Svarsten
If I'm the flawed son, Ithyah is the perfect daughter. A shield-maid that our grandmother is deeply proud of, with her mother's beauty and social skill, there would be no question of her being elected as the next king of Svarsten...if she were male. Women have been elected by the Jarls before, certainly, but they were usually of last resort. Despite her mother's dislike of me, Ithyah and I have been on-and-off friends over the years, though we have also been bitter rivals before as well. She has just turned 19, and is a blooded warrior.

Merits

Frostmane (Familiar •••)

Frostmane
  • In the icy Frostveldt Plain outside of Svartsten there is a herd of horses sacred to that god of that plain, Samehfadh, who appears as a great horse of frost and stone.
  • Because it is a tradition among the best riders and horsemen of Svartsten to stalk the herds and make off with one of their foals to train to take a mount, Aldimar decided to do likewise when he was not quite an adult, though was obviously a skilled horseman already.
  • After nearly a week of getting near the herd and making them accustomed to his presence, he saw the foal he wanted: a beautiful grey-blue foal with a white mane. Eventually, he made his move, roping the foal and then escaping back home, where he was lauded for his find.
  • Several days later, when he was training with Soaring Hymn, a furious blizzard blew in on them, heralding the arrival of Samehfadh. He was angry at Aldimar's theft of what turned out to be a god-blooded son. The god of the Frostveldt apparently bred a god-blooded foal to grow into a strong stallion or mare to lead his herd every generation.
  • Fortunately, Samehfadh was unsure of his ability to defeat Soaring Hymn, and so went away, grumbling.
