Family History House Rødsvar descends from the age-old House Viduggla of the North. It holds ties to the founder of House Viduggla, Fyn Uglhengivenson, dating back to times before 80 AC. Strong roots steady the Rødsvars among other notorious Northern Houses and while considered newly established, maintains a strong recent history in both the lands of Drixagh and the Regalian Capital underneath the Lord Garth. In the late summer of 309 AC, a schism within the House Viduggla occurred. Differences arose between Matriarch Tuija Viduggla and once Patriarch Garth Viduggla, leading to internal strife. This period of conflict did not last long, resulting in a three way divide between the House Viduggla. Matriarch Tuija took the name Nordhjem, traveling Northwest to the region of Viktofoten, while Lord Ardige Viduggla retained the Viduggla name and relocated to the region of Viksalbard. Garth managed to maintain the longstanding Viduggla lands in Bergelan, establishing the House Rødsvar shortly after. Quickly into the reign of House Rødsvar, the lack of members among the noble house became prevalent. The Lord Garth acted quickly, reaching out to an estranged family member on his father’s side and to the Lord of a loyal vassal House, Godtfred Vaskyrr. With the two families having an everlasting relationship, steps were taken to fold the House Vaskyrr into the greater House Rødsvar through marriage thus establishing a strong cousin line to create a stronger living presence. III. Family Characteristics Members of the House bear similar traits between the respective families that combined into one. Being brown, black, and red of hair is notorious among Rødsvars, leaving blonde hair a rarity. There are no common eyes among the Rødsvars, as green, blue and brown are all prevalent between the respective lineages. Additionally, Rødsvars are on the taller spectrum of Ailor and are fit, maintaining a healthy body. 〘||⋅════════════》〘 •X• 〙《════════════⋅||〙 Lord Garth has been apart of three noble families within his time in the Capital: Viduggla, Wodenstaff and Rødsvar. 〘||⋅════════════》〘 •X• 〙《════════════⋅||〙IV.

1. IGN: IceResistance Spoiler: 2. Reason for Applying I'm looking to have a character in House Rødsvar because I've been wanting to have a new experience unique from the one I've basically situated myself in since I joined in 2018. Velheim culture is very appealing in terms of a different experience and I think the perception of Velheim culture is very interesting as well as many outsiders IC see it a certain way while it is much more in depth realistically. Why Rødsvar? As mentioned, I did have Velheim culture in mind of course, but I specifically am interested in this house because my interaction with your character IC, while brief, was a very fun experience and you were very professional engaging in RP. That prompted me to read into Rødsvar lore and I found it intriguing (kind of have to love the fact the Velheim houses are like connected by blood). Ultimately, I think it could be a good experience for me to engage and I think I can contribute and help House Rødsvar likewise. 3. Character Name: Arvid Rodsvar Spoiler: 4. Character Pitch TBD. I have ideas of course, but I would also like to see more into House Rødsvar and your ideology before getting deep into my own character if we could discuss. Two routes I am interested in pursuing though in particular are either knighthood/military or statesmanship. I enjoy playing social characters hence Arvid would be a young socialite. Appearance: Able to Change, but idea worked out for now: Shorter Brown hair, green eyes. 5'11 Body Shape/Fitness will depend on what route I go with the character, although at least athletic/low body fat generally. Will probably changed slightly depending on route character goes.
