Turk Bane

Many generations passed as the Ofgarssons gradually grew larger in size and notability.  One of the most notable figures is, Dren Ofgarsson, the personal huscarl and previous thane of Jarl Erik Reyurnt.  Proving to live up to his family name, and earn his own, by slaughtering heaps upon heaps of Turkish warriors. For a short time, Dren spoke nothing more than of killing these foul enemies, but as time went on the Turkish slowly faded from existence, eliminated by a single Ofgarsson.  Ever since Dren’s genocide of these scum, him and his family have been called Turk Bane.  This name not only marks their massacre, but it also hinders their existence from re-surfacing.  Often, there are Turks spotted throughout Tahn.  The name Turk Bane, allows people to rest easy, knowing that they will be safe from these heathen, as long as the Ofgarsson name lives on.

 

Ancestry

Beginning in Vailor, the “Off Guard Sons”,  as they were known, started to form the collective that would eventually stem into a strong root system for the Ofgarsson family tree.  These early years for the Off Guard Sons were filled will raiding and chaos, the premise of which comes from their lack of work in the city watch.  With no leadership or morals, to hold them to what society deems fair, they killed and stole whatever they wanted.  Though, many victims may look down upon these sons, they still have received much glory and respect for their acts of braveness, being seen in their own culture as highly profitable warriors.  Toward the end of their lives the three remaining sons grew old.  Two of them, Sigurt and Upbier, had families by this point and passed on the name of Ofgarsson out of respect for the fallen sons in battle.  The third surviving son, Algeron, did not have a family.  But became the personal guard of a Jarl.  Though he was not a father himself, he was still set an example that was not only followed by the other two Off guard son’s children but every Ofgarsson from that point forward.

 

Appearance

Two different lineages each procured from the original Ofgarssons, Sigurt & Upbier.

 

Sigurt Ofgarsson had sandy brown hair and light grey eyes.
His facial expression looked as if it were carved from stone,
with very chiseled features and a large brow.

 

 

Upbier Ofgarsson had a much darker shade of brunette hair,

a broader face, and a more prominent nose.  He was known for being

the quieter of the two and kept to his home after having children,

raising them to fight and tutoring them of their history.

Einarr gets inspired by this.

Just now, simarey said:

Dren Ofgarsson takes a sip of vine " True Story " 

"The true patriarch of the Ofgarsson family is Dren, I am but a loyal poet, aiding these illiterate men with their documentation of history" says the skinny storyteller
