"Strong in Arms and Will." {Basic Information} Family Sigil: Norrvakt warrior holding a skewered beast head over a burning Old Gods tree. Family Title: N/A Family Culture: Mixed Family Religion: Varies Per Individual Family Colours: Faded Teal, Green, Silver & Black [Subject to change, contact @Walrusaur_ with any questions] House Norrvakt has a lengthy and complicated history of infighting between members of the family and fighting between other families of the Northern realms though the intricacies of these varied conflicts have been lost to all save members of the family's inner council. This fighting eventually led the family to lay, and for a time maintain, claim to holdings within the territory now known as the Duchy of Kerwolf. This joyous time was however short-lived as a string of tragedies befell the family which began with the Lo Occupation of 304AC, progressed into sabotage and political targeting under the Montagaard Regime, forcing an exodus to the islands of Ostyr, and culminated with more recent betrayals by other, larger families of the North effectively forcing the family to cede claims due to the threat of being wiped out. Family Tree Will receive live updates as new members are added and lore revealed. Should titles demand passing on, they will be passed to the eldest of the Norrvakt line still capable of leading the house in both peace and war. {Current Title(s)} None {Holding of Dol Carraigh} Former, Razed The holding of Dol Carraigh was the capital in Nastrond, a rather substantial trading city located along the shoreline of the Norrvakt lands. It was here that the family funnelled most of their troops and supplies inland to their seat of power until its razing in late 305AC. The family has since shifted to Ostyr in Norrland, awaiting the day they can reclaim Dol Carraigh for their own. {Holding of Castle Ostyr} Former, Occupied A recently acquired holding of the Norrvakt house, Ostyr served as the training academy for Norrvakt levies and guards. The grounds more recently served as the capital for the family following the razing of Dol Carraigh while still hosting the training of the family's personal guards. Occupied following the family's third ousting from nobility following Imperial proclamation. The Norrvakt family will only recruit Humans. No Sanguines or Undead. Overly troublesome characters and/or OOC behaviour will not be tolerated. Keep in mind you may be asked to change your name if it does not fit with the family cultural basis, or if it is already discerned by our family tree. All members of the Norrvakt (Main) line, and parents of the current generation, must abide mostly by the Physical Appearance section. Other members are less restricted, though it should still be taken into account. Vampires and Undead are strictly disallowed. Should a Norrvakt or any other become such, and should it be found out by the rest of the family, they will be instantly shunned from the family with their titles and claims revoked. Walrusaur has full rights to boot a player for either intolerable IC or OOC reasons. Any IC reasoning will be explained IC, OOC explanations are at the discretion of family head.
