About Hrolf SteinolfHROLF STEINOLF CR 1
History: The Elder is an ancient tribal hero with more stories to his name than any other. Legends tell that he was the savior of the tribe in their darkest hour, having gone away on a spirit quest at the age of 18 to save the tribe from destruction at the hands of a rival. He returned a year later with weapons and knowledge taken from the southerners along with powerful magic- and under his leadership, strategy and spellcraft the tribe rose to pre-eminence once more. He went on to do many great deeds and attempted to bring the tribe into the modern world; although this trend declined after his death at a ripe old age, the tribe slipping back into their ancient ways. Alignment: LN Class: Fighter/Wizard Favoured Weapons- A beautiful composite longbow which he used to slay Lexorth, a ferocious red dragon that terrorised the tribe. An ancient Falcata he found while adventuring in Taldor with a large emerald set into the hilt. Personality: Asvald commands great respect amongst the rest of the ancestors as the Eldest among them and appears to Hrolf as a wizened old man leaning upon his wizard's staff- dressed in Taldan style clothing rather than the traditional skins and hides of many other members of the council. He speaks with great intellect and is a pragmatist at heart. He also has a tendency to ramble on and is often still talking when Hrolf's vision fades. He is a firm believer that destiny reveals itself to everyone in time and has no agenda to push Hrolf towards other than pursuing his own goals. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shaman Gudmand Frodi "Silver Wolf" History: A descendant of the Elder, Gudmand Frodi "Silver Wolf" earned his name as a powerful Wolf Shaman and led the tribe away from the modern approach his ancestor advocated, returning it to its animalistic ways and sharpening the claws of the tribe's many warriors. The tribe's power grew steadily throughout the Silver Wolf's long life, other clans fearful of the warriors vicious pack tactics and the many wolves that accompanied them into battle. Ultimately, he was slain holding off a pack of Lycanthropes, he and his lifelong wolf companions falling in defence of the tribe. His sacrifice was not in vain, for he slew enough of the lycanthropes to make them reconsider attacking the weakened tribe, giving them time to find new huntin g grounds and recover. Alignment: NG Class: Druid Personality: A mix of human and wolf features, Frodi hasn't let death stop him switching from human to wolf form when it suits his purposes in teaching Hrolf something or making a point. He is animalistic, and after leading both the tribe and his wolf pack for so many years he has difficulty not acting as the Alpha Male on the council- despite this struggle he nearly always defers to the Elder's authority eventually (often after a ferocious battle of wills), but never defers to another member if he disagrees. In life he was a devout worshipper of Erastil, and often refers to his teachings to make a point. He likes to answer Hrolf's questions with stories about both community and animals. He is benevolent but nevertheless believes in strong leadership, whether by law or by example. He worries for the fate of the tribe without Hrolf and is not above using guilt tactics, cunning wordplay and guile to try and persuade Hrolf to return and claim the tribe. His current efforts are half-hearted, as he feels Hrolf has too much to learnand is not yet ready. Bear-Tamer Ivar Arnstein Work in Progress --------------------
