Ragnar Langfottir
- Jarl
Leader/Jarl of Wodens Hearth born 840AD near Oseberg I traveled to western England in 869AD to find my own land and hearth. However I was drawn into war with Ivarr the Boneless, Ubbi and Halfdan later settling in East Anglia. I created a Hearth under what would be known in later times as the Danelaw in a village now known as Medeshamstede. I brought a healer called Thora and her son Kirk and my bodyguard Thorstein from Norway, and met Broddi a Gothi and horse trader whose usefulness had kept her alive by the Danish. Other members of the hearth came from Danish men that I had led and some of the native Angles who had sworn loyalty to me.
Thora - Healer
I am Thora and I have a son, Kirk is his name. We lived in a village in the Uppland, and have been taught the way of herbs and wild plants by my mother. Myself and Kirk went for a walk in the morning into local woods to collect some herbs, blackberry (a red dye), and some elfwort (a blue dye from the root). We spent a long time in the woods and as it was getting dark, w made our way back to the village. As we got closer we could hear the sound of swords clashing, we ran back into the woods. In the morning we went back to the village, there was no one alive apart from my dog Aska (Dee). We had to go so I collected some salted meat and fish for our long walk and other things we may need. We walked for a long time and found a cave we could stay in. The next day we came across Ragnar Langfottir who enquired as to our story and suggested we travel with him. After we had reached a far land were we hoped to be safe, there was a small skirmish and we helped to care for the warriors wounds, allowing us to join Wodens Hearth.
Thorstein - Warrior/Carpenter
As a boy I learnt my fathers trade as a carpenter along with spending many hours practicing my weapon skills with the aim of becoming a warrior. Since I have known Ragnar from a young age and proved myself on the field of battle he took me on as his bodyguard.
Broddi - Godhi
I am a descendant of the Harri tribe from Germanic Europe. I came to Wodens Hearth after living a nomadic life in the wilds of Germany with my husband. We have a daughter, Sunna and was forced to join with Danish invaders after my husband was taken captive by another tribe. I am a skilled horse trainer and the magic used by my people is both useful and frightening to my fellow warriors. As I am a Germanic I fight as well as any man and do fight alongside the warriors in the hearth.
Kirk - Thora's son
Sunna - Broddi's daughter
