Seoman was born to a woodsman named Eawulf and his wife Gelda in the small hamlet Akburg in Norland. As so many others they were forced to flee when the undead armies came down on Norland, his father joined forces with larger group of refugees their leader was named Alberik. Together they made ships and sailed away. When they reached atlas they continued south untill in a storm their ships were smashed upon ice. Now without ships, they gathered their suplies and took what ever wreckage they could carry and continued south. Atlast they hit a wall of ice and as they did not have the gear to climb it they went east. Shortly there after they reached land. Here they decided to make their home. Hunters would range inland looking for animals and fishers would make holes in the ice from where they would fish. They made their homes out of bone, fur and snow.
The Elder of the community was a very old man, nobody really knew how old but he was past his prime when the next eldest one was born(83 years ago), he had a small private library containing nearly 30 books on military tactics and strategy, architectur(military and civil), history, religion and magical theory. Seoman wa fasinated by all these subjects and spent much of his free time with the elder learning to read and write.
At the age of 18 he completed his trail of manhood. Singlehandedly killing a great white bear. After the elder died he inherited all of the books and continued his studies. His studies has made him a decent builder and commander.
