Background

Outlander || Specialty: Wandering mercenary ||

Feature: Wanderer

You have an excellent memory for maps and geography, and you can always recall the general layout of terrain, settlements, and other features around you. In addition, you can find food and fresh water for yourself and up to five other people each day, provided that the land offers berries, small game, water, and so forth.

Backstory

If pressed, Grimnar might describe himself as a seidr of the Wyrdflame. He is not like other seidrs. He does not commune with the spirits. Instead, in a fever-dream as a young man apprenticed to a carpenter, one singular spirit reached out and touched his mind. The wyrdflame, appearing as the unbearable strength of the erupting volcano, chose him; and ever since then he has channelled its power.

Filled with glorious purpose to bring the light of the flame to where it is most needed, as an adult he has travelled from place to place, often acting as self-appointed protector against the dark of the world; sometimes joining independent or mercenary bands when their cause favoured his own.

It was in such capacity that he met Hrókr amongst the Stone Wolves on the fateful mission which saw so many of them perish.

In person, he has a warrior's temperament - and indeed, his channelling of the wyrdflame's power rivals the battle magic of many a runecaster.

He believes above all else that the light of the flame should be brought to bear against the darkness wherever it threatens the land or people of Svilland; and the Black Winter and the agents of Odd must be stopped at all costs. Swathed in a pile of bearskins, he is ferocious on the battlefield.
