Torm

Torm The Undying


Originating from a small town on an island, in a far away land, following the Religion of Jörvi, Takorm Yarvikson, better known as simply Torm had his story begin at age nineteen, forming the town of Höfuðborgin, and later the nation of Icebergia. Another town, Räsjik, and another; Oslak. His small ships turned into formidable fleets, and from there, to an Empire.

Years of War
Nearing his 20's, Takorm was slaughtered in the battlefield by a man named King Iris. Iris was the King in the lands of which Torm resided, Torm was killed, and his friends like Hadi, and Malak, before they earned their titles, fled. Torm, whilst dead, was made an offer by a God of his people, Yarvik, the God of Rebirth, Yarvik was placed in his head, guiding Torm, and he dubbed himself, Takorm Yarvikson.

Vengeance and Power
During his 1st assault on King Iris, he failed, and fled East, as Yarvik suggested, there he found an abandoned Longhouse from a forgotten Kin, and Yarvik spoke "Here you shall build your crops, and swords, and shields, and children, and theirs, and your long ships, and sate your hunger for revenge", and so he did. He founded the High Kingdom of Noregr, another Kingdom of Norelaw, and created an Vast Empire by convincing the surrounding Kingdoms to follow him. He was no longer Chief Torm of little Höfuðborgin, nor King Torm, nor High King Torm- But Emperor Torm, of the North Seas of Noderleund. As Torm's fleets reached Iris' shores, Iris became fat and lazy off his boons and successes, while Torm's rage fueled him, Iris had become careless. Iris thought Torm dead, however when Torm's Viking Army arrived at the gates, Torm uttered the same words that started the war, spoken by Iris. Then perish. Soon after Torm's warriors slew Iris, and mounted his head on a spike. All the known Isles then belonged to Torm and his people, his Empire.

The Journey North
From poor boy, to Jarl, Hicnav, Chief, King, High King, Emperor, to Grand Emperor, he left his Empire in the hands of a loyal woman, Empress XLNuggets. He took with him, only his most trusted souls, those who stayed with him through his change to undead. Hadi, The Relentless; Malak, The Mindless most namely. Torm seeks the thing his people strive for, glory and fame, whether that be a martyr, sainthood, or great deed, he seeks only glory for he and his men. The Voyage North was Hellish, and upon their arrival, through seas, monsters, and Gods, their ship crashed, as they were scattered but later re-united, on a strange mysterious mass of lands. Eldham.
