Ironsides Clan

Strong Foundations and Tight Relations
The Ironsides Clan, founded by a warrior known as Ulfric Ironsides, they where a clan of warriors, politicians, and sometimes shady people in shady buisness. They are a clan of reason and follow a strong moral compass, and don't kill without needing to and loved to interact with the people of Jagdas and then Rathnir. They remained peaceful to the people around them, and only get violent when provoked. This helped them keep low key, and overall just not get into conflict at all.

The Iron Light
During their time in Jagdas and early stages of the clan, Ulfric had an out of body experience with Jornsir, The God of the Iron Light. This experience made him create an order of the Ironsides clan for the Religion, which would be known as the Order of the Iron Light.

Settling Down
With the Creation of Yimmu-Audal in Jagdas, a small underground Clan that was created in the Depths of the land of Jagdas known by the Ironsides Clan. They where a peaceful clan with little to no knowledge by the country they resided under. Their Founder, Ulfric Ironsides, was also the first Lightbearer, holder of the will of dominus scientiam. Eventually they would be discovered and their presence was not taken lightly and they would be pushed out into the wilds of Jagdas.

Ulfric's Revelation
The Order of the Iron Light's duty was to protect the suncore and the Lightbearer, which the first of the lightbearers was named by dominus scientiam to be Ulfric, The First. This announcement filled Ulfric with pride and became a very arrogant man, much to the spite of the rest of the clan, including his brother, Harald.

The Duel of Fates
Ulfric and Harald, brothers by blood and by arms, one saw power and domination through the Iron Light and their Clan, the other saw peace. The Battle of Hog Mountain, the final duel of brothers, lightbearer versus a man with no special power. The duel lasted 3 long days, before Harald emerged victorious, to take over the clan from his brother, and pass the clan along his direct descendants. The people relished in victory, but Harald refrained, death was not something to celebrate. Ulfric was given a proper burial in Hog Mountain, but was never visited again, they really wished to keep him out of their thoughts from then on.

New Light
With the death of Jornsir's Chosen, Jornsir had to decide of a good candidate this time, one that was pure. dominus scientiam Chose Alva Ironsides, 3rd cousin (Mother's Cousin's Daughter) of the leader of the clan, Harald. With this new knowledge from the Order, Harald made her the Second in command, she was humble, loyal, and a valiant fighter since she was of age to battle. They then commisoned the construction of the suncore to bind her and future lightbearers to the earth and Jornsir. This brought about a peaceful time within the clan, until tragedy struck only a few months later.

The Jagdas Calamity
Jornsville, Jagdas, the place of living for the Ironsides and the Bjaldsson in realtive peace with only a few minor disagreements between clans. But as tragedy struck in Jagdas, the world quickly came to its end, the suncore lost to the seas, weakning Alva's link to the earth. She demanded in this time of wreckage that, harald and none combatants relocated to a foreign place called Rathnir. So they did while Alva, Bjorgen and Brynol, along with the forces of the Ironsides clan fought off the attacking forces of the Bjaldssons. They fought with valiance before dying along with the rest of Jagdas. The clan honored their efforts and just like that, another lightbearer, gone from the world.

Starting from Scratch
With the migration of the Ironsides Clan to Rathnir, they where left with nothing but what they could hold in their hands, the object the Order of the Iron light protected with their life was MIA. But they had to keep moving on no matter what, and so they did, they settled in Eastern Sparwood and began their rebuild of peace, still under the leadership of Harald, and now second in command, his 10 year old son Johnathan.

Johnathan, The Great
Jumping ahead a few years to the rule of now 25 year old Johnathan Ironsides, He married a woman named Helen Helvig, a ludicrously intelligent strategist and loving wife and mother to then 5 year old Asger Ironsides. He led a reign extremely similar to his late father, peace and harmony with rathnir and her people.

The Ironsides Massacre
Johnathan slightly struggling in Rathnir made shady deals with shady people from the distant land of Eldham, but he had no idea what he got himself into. He made an exchange of food and materials for a very generous price, which the money would be used to fund a political assassination which was traced back to their clan. Unfortunately, however framed, the soldiers didnt care, they chopped down every single member of the Ironsides Clan except one. Asger was the only survivor of the massacre. From then on he swore to restore his clan, and gain vengence one day. It was then that he was revealed to be the Lightbearer of dominus scientiam's will, and now that the suncore was restored (but still lost).
