Ragvir

Ragvir was born to a small Free Folk fishing clan along the Frozen Shore. His tribe was not well known or strong by any sense. The waters were harsh and yielded little results, and the clans hunters found themselves travelling further and further to track game and provide for the people. Many nights were spent on empty stomachs and slowly many of the warriors started to lose hope that they would pull through the coming winter. It was Ragvir’s 14th year of life when a clan of greater number and strength happened upon his clan's home, they struck up a deal to secure survival. The fishing clan was to forfeit any warrior who could hold a sword and in return they would be provided with better hunting grounds and more supplies. Because of the dire situation of Ragvir’s family, they had no choice but to accept the generous offer. But Ragvir was not happy with this decision. He knew that this deal meant his clan’s survival but it also meant he would be one of the few taken from his family and sent south on raids with this new clan. When his father was confronted on the issue, on how Ragvir wished to remain with the clan and travel south with his clansmen when they next went, he turned his back on Ragvir, saying it was a necessary sacrifice to ensure everyone's survival. That Ragvir would be well fed and armed should he go with the larger clan. This sparked a deep feeling of betrayal with Ragvir and he set off to collect his things. But he had no intentions of joining the warband, in fact, Ragvir left that night, to journey on his own and live off the land. He would only follow a man he trusted, not some clan leader who took pity on his family. He set out to survive, find his own way in the harsh north. Killing anything that dared crossed his path be it game or crow. Who knows, perhaps he’d find someone worthy of his trust.
