Torm

Torm The Terrible
Originating from a small town on an island, in a far away land, following the Religion of Jörvi, Takorm Kyndarrsson, 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 King of The Gods, Yarvik was placed in his head, guiding Torm, and he dubbed himself, Takorm Yarvikssorg.

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 Grand 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 Grand Empire.

The Journey North
From poor boy, then Jarl, Chief, High 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.

Viðanmor
Though the reign of Midjor was a long five years of Triumverancy, all of the original Midjorisk had feld when the invasion of the Kratalian's began. After Vathol, the second Yorv, sailed away, a Jorvalisk-minsiter-of Midjor who was sick of the rule of fear and inability had elected Torm as the next Yorv. Reluctantly, Torm acceptted, only time will tell if he will lead Midjor to victory, or if he, much like Vathol, will fail horribly.

Midjor did, under Torm's seasoned rule become victorious, and the squatters agreed to his terms. As such, Takorm set in motion a reform, giving a speech during a time of uproar, "The Midjor Call". Soon therein, he changed the flag and name of Midjor to Viðanmor, and the flag to a much more Viking design. However, his rule was cut short when Viðanmor declared war on Falholt. All of Viðanmor's surrounding nations saw Torm as a tyrant, forcing his people into war. Though he did as they wished and stepped down, it still wasn't enough, and Torm was ridiculed and banished from Viðanmor.

As Torm began to pack, his fellow Jorvics did as well, however they weren't the only ones, Berg, the Husjarl of Kratalia joined Torm in his leave, as did many Midjorisk, and fellow races he once ruled over. Though his pride stripped, his home stolen, and his confidence in leading beaten, people where still willing to follow him, with his new Kin in tow, they set out for a land Berg owned, and they settled, during the travel, Torm suggested a name from their distant past, or relatives whom underwent a similar transition in separation and abandonment. A name, and a symbol, that Torm hoped would bring new life to his people. Einberg.

Draakthakt
The Midjorisk people took kindly to the Jorvites, and allowed them stead in a town they called ' Vultitain ' or ' Dark Heart ' in the common tounge. It's leader Tristshun fell tired of ruling and offered the town to Torm, which he took. To honor the nation, and better keep it's traditions, Torm renamed it to ' Draakthakt ' Jorvick for 'Dark Heart '. The change was simply for his people, seeing as they were foregin, they had trouble pronouncing the name. Since then Torm has fixed up the majority of the town, building a longhouse, new houses, walls and so on.

After Torm's leave, he abandoned hope in the town in whole, and left his shrine to Yarvik there, to in some hope, gain the grace of the Gods.

Einberg
Torm, full of rage, anger, and the feeling of betrayal, he left with the Jorvics, Midjorisk, and Kratalians, to move to a land that Berg bought for Vidanmor. A land which Hadi, Torm, and Malak knew would fit well... Einberg meaning in their old families old tongue, "One Mountain". After much contemplation, and much more time spent wondering, Torm could not bring himself to hate those he once called Kinnir, instead, he began to speak to Tristshun again, and through an exhange of letters, Torm began to reconnect with his old mentor, best friend, and closest thing to a father figure he had.

After much work, time, and effort, the group had finally made a home in Einberg, building glorious houses, and even having a visit from the Gods, them placing a religious relic in front of them. The Einbergians dubbed it "Stoney Bath Water" a rare beverage that is seldom in circulation today, only a few Einbergians-even fewer outside of Einberg-hold this invaluable commodity. However it was not to last, as the fountain over lava was destroyed by a citizen after they were dared to.

The Merge
Torm, at the time, held the title of lead diplomat in Einberg, and the Minister of Diplomacy of Rodinnbrok so one would assume based off this, that Torm was well versed in diplomacy. However if one had asked if they could convince a nation triple their size to join them, many people on Torm's position would scoff... Torm did not. He became friends with an Aeternian named Sya, and after their many great deeds for Einberg, they approached Berg therein assigned Torm to the task, and within a full twenty-four hours, Aeternia and Einberg would merge. A feat such as this happens daily, what does not happen daily is that Torm convinced the Senate of Aeternia to place Berg as their Princeps Civilitis. Essentially making the Senate null and void if Berg so decided.

The nation was renamed The Senate and People of Einberg, and together they began a quest towards growing internally.

The Demi-God of Mishchief
After all his work, and all his lost friends who's names haunt his mind, Torm's trials were not yet near over. His dearest companion from Helvheim, Hadi, was taken from the world of Eldheim, and as such, he called upon Malak to join him in his saving of Hadi, who would soon be come to be known as Doa-Gwelr koatir-or in the Eldham tongue, the Demi-God of Chaos/Mishchief.

Marriage
As many in Einberg pestered him and his now wife, Sya about being a couple, Torm-initally-held no amorous or romantic feelings towards Sya, however after some time, that changed. After Sya and Torm began to speak more openly, Torm felt closer to them, Sya was the first foreigner to treat Torm as a person after his declaration on Falholt from his time ruling-and more than that, the very first person to ever have called him a "Good man", which Torm very quickly denied. Through all his time in Einberg, Torm could always confide in Sya, politically, or personally. After much debate-and dissuasion from his son, Cold-Torm finally managed to work up the nerve to ask for Sya's hand in marriage, which, much to Torm's surprise, Sya agreed to.

Widsom of Kings
Wisdom of Kings was a book addressed to the Triumvirate of Midjor, which was read by both Yathum and Malzein, while Yathum found the book highky interesting, it was Malzein who found the true value of the book. Malzein began to constantly speak with Torm about his opinions on Midjor, and Torm foretold the downfall of the Triumvirate, which lead to Midjor becoming a Monarchy, as well as Torm becoming Malzein's Advisor.

Torm's Log
Torm's Log was a journal kept by Torm in his first days to his end of his time in Midjor. Torm's Log was kept by his most trusted friend, Tristshun.

Torm's Second Log
Torm's second log was from his banishment to the end of his time in Einberg. It detailed his plans, aspirations for revenge, and his acceptance of being "Torm the Terrible", as well as his trials of trying to be a better person-which some may agree with, while others say he grew more cruel.

Current Day
For some months, Torm went into exile, forswearing all of his loyalties and ambitions. However, after six months Torm approached the Hermit of Marag, and as they conversed, Torm realized he had to fight for something bigger than himself or his own ambitions. With that, he had left his mountain home and started his trek towards Soolia. After he spent his time helping his new liege, Dennis Godd-Fjell, he formally retired and went to Rathnir, however his retirement was met with an offer; to be an Ambassador and live in a beautiful city, and to this day, he commutes between Rathnir and Eldheim respectivly, still functioning as an active and respected member of High Kingdom of Soolia.
