Backstory: Sven son of Sven grew up in the rugged village of Skjoldheim, where he learned the art of combat and seamanship from his warrior father, Sven, and the tales of distant lands from his mother, Ingrid. As a young man, Sven helped defend his village from a rival clan, earning the title of Jarl. His mother and father were killed by the rival chieftain Bjorn. He escaped before he felt justice.

Here he begins his new journey....
