Ulf the Dane

Background

You came to England for loot and plunder like every other Dane, but grew to realize your mates weren’t conquerors—they were bloodthirsty raiders and thieves.

You left them and wandered for a bit, exploring this new land, pretending to be mute so the locals wouldn’t realize you were Danish and slowly learning their language and ways.

Along the way you met Hild, a “paladin” who wields a strange weapon and fights for those who can’t defend themselves. You fell in with her one dark and stormy night when a massive wolf threatened a peasant camp on the outskirts of Winchester. You saw her bravery, fought by her side, and have stayed there for the last few weeks.

Mostly the paladin battles the many bandits prowling the roads, but she has hinted there are darker forces at work and you’re curious to see them—and test your blade against them.

A number of other Saxons and Britons are now part of your band. Their practices are strange to you, and they worry about the most ridiculous things. Still, they are brave in their own way, as brave as any you once rowed a longship with.

If Thor approves, you’ll battle alongside them all the way to Valhalla!
