Unifying of the Norfst

The split
The people known as norfst are a split people. The norfst split into two different tribes after the death of their first Kung, Hakrin the unifier.

Kung Hakrin was aware of the possible split in his people after his death. This was due to his two ambitions twin sons, whose birth was a complicated one in it resulting to the death of Hakrin's wife and no one knowing which son came first.

What Hakrin foresaw became reality, when his sons after years biggering decided to split when war was near. The brothers took their supporters seperate ways. One staying behind and living in the mountains of Thornidir, and the other went to the forest of Branskög.

The time between
The norfst remained split for three centuries. The Iöidä dynasty fell in Thornidir. after Köldru the inexperienced's highly unpopular rule came to an end in fire, blood and cold. His sons were castrated, so the line wouldn't continue and exiled. While his wife and daughter were forcibly made love to and exiled.

The rebellion brewed into a civil war between the houses of Härkm and Löngslätt due to them not wanting the other party on the throne.

The civil war lasted for three years with even the Branskög clan joining in, to conquer the throne.

A new beggning
As the thrown remained empty, leaders from all sides disputed for the title of Kung. The ones in Härkm said that wars were necessary and the only way to resolve the situation, those in Löngslätt still defended a monarchy like the one in the days of the Kung Hakrin the unifier and Branskög, even though they were descendants of the first royal family, were in favor of an absolutist monarchy, remembering the old myths of Norfst. It tells that the Kung and relatives came from a special ore given by the gods and it granted them above-average skills, such as intelligence, fighting, and artistic gift.

Thus inside conflicts were common in other tribes nearby, the house of Härkm quickly lost the support of its followers since the idea of another war to decide the thorne was out of the question, so the Branskög clan and the Löngslät formed a temporary alliance to dissolve the Härkms. The two that were left disputed power for at least 10 years, yet, no wars happened, as the leaders of both groups remained a passive-aggressive relationship regarding the times when they were united for a brief moment, being Åke the leader from the royal clan of Branskög and Pfjordra the figurehead of the Löngslätt bracket.

The leaders were very different, but they had in common the number of children, funny enough they all were born in 4 years gap. Åke left only a single son and several daughters, meanwhile, Pfjordra had seven sons and no daughters. All of them grew in a perfect world, full of culture, traditional culinary until they all turned 16, the year that Norfst people celebrate the passage to adult life.
