Breca of Geats backstory


Hello everyone. Since I have decided to join Rogin and you have ebeen so gracious as to let me join, I figure I should tell you my story

The moon was shining that bright, cloudless night. A lone figure sat silhouetted on top of the hill just north of the camp. From behind him sounds of the celebration rang out, the members of the small band of Geats, laughing and drinking in their joyous victory over the Vikings who had tried to claim their land.

They had just finished battle earlier that day. Without losing a single man to Viking blades, they had single-handedly driven off the seafaring invaders. The Geats were admirable fighters, commonly using two-handed long swords or axes. However all their training and skill could not prepare them for what would happen that night..

The celebration continued late into the night. Eventually it waned and the members of the Varg tribe dispersed for a well-earned night’s rest. The only member who did not go to sleep, and who did not take part in the celebration at all, was their leader, Breca of Geats. Breca would stay up on all night patrol so that his men could rest. Someone need to be on patrol in case the invaders returned to attack in the middle of the night. However while Breca maintained a watchful eye on the sea’s coast, he was unaware of what was befalling his comrades at camp.

With the sun’s early rays came a vision of absolute horror to the young captain. Back at camp were his men, brutally slaughtered in the middle of the night by an unseen force. Even in his distressed state, Breca could tell that no human had committed these atrocities. His men lay scattered like pieces of firewood under an ax. Some of the corpses did not bear any resemblance to the friends he once knew. Something came in the middle of the night, destroyed his tribe, but took nothing. Something murdered his friends just for the macabre pleasure of it.

After burying his friends, Breca took up Hämnd, his two-handed longsword and set out for battle, desperate for answers…desperate for vengeance.
