Norrik was born in the capital city of Haense, SA19. His father, a more traditional Haense loyalist, sought to raise his son in the old ways—that of Canonisim—and was not shy to make his son learn how to fight and hunt at an early age. Being their only child, Norrik was their only chance to ensure honor was brought to the Craven name. Alongside this, his mother, whose visage and details elude his memories, tried to help him not be so brash and violent; instead, to be thoughtful of situations and to be, above all, loyal to his nation. His parents constantly wished for him to join the BSK to make a glorious and honorable living for himself, however, Norrik's passions did not exactly align with his parents, and decided to leave the place he had so long called home. No more than a youth, Norrik fled further to the north, past Norland's claims. He stopped at various settlements along the way, taking days of rest to gather himself and where he was going. As Norrik traveled, he had several run-ins with Svarlings and citizens of Norland. Despite initiate hostilities, Norrik tried to find a way to end things without fighting, but his efforts brought him many wounds and he soon abandoned giving others the benefit of a doubt. With his next encounters, he sought to strike first, reinforcing the idea of how things worked in the world. His experience, that of combat and hunting in the wilds of the north, flourished over the years. After learning of some ancient history and lore from a travelling storyteller, Norrik found a passion for seeking out ruins and such in the most dangerous of places. Recently, he heard of some regions further south to explore, ripe with ruins to delve and creatures to slay.
