Njald was born and grew up in a small family in an coastal village outside Morsegrad, His Mother Sigrid was an seamstress and his father Bjorn was an raider and farmer. Njald had an little brother, Torgil who was 2 years younger.
Njald lived happily learning farming and fighting with his father as a true higlander, until he was about 13 years old.
He lost his brother in a horrible flood and felt alone and miserable. He gave himself to work and traing untill he was 19 years old.
At 19 Njald joined the leaders army and for 9 years he used his cunning and skills, he managed to conquer his fears, all but the one for buttons, he couldn't stand them if he had a choise. Those years in the leaders army full of raiding, killing, plundering, death and sorrow has turned Njald into the man he is today.
As Njald is a man of the red faith he is a firm beliver of the all father.
At the age of 28 he left the leaders army and went south in search of a new life. Powerless to change the past, he now seeks to find some form of redemption and finally find a place to call home and settle down in. But will the all father grant him this or is his will that Njald should return to his home and uphold the honour of the highlanders.
