Bandit Lore:
Bjorn Ironside was birthed into a small riverside village named Ormsdall, from a young age he was trodden on and treated like dirt because of his fathers actions. When he wasn’t even born, his father was a heavy gambler and lost a bet he couldn’t repay, so he instead chose to leave his wife and unborn child to escape the heavy price that his gambling would take.

Bjorn’s mother was assaulted in the fury of the man who won the gamble against her husband, but because he saw she was pregnant he did not kill her. Soon after, before she had even recovered, Bjorn was born. Though his mother survived the pregnancy, she was not in a healthy state due to all the damage she had sustained over the past week, but it was not just this that was the problem. When Bjorn’s father left she was heartbroken, and once she had been injured to the point of near death she began to lose the will to live.

When Bjorn was 10 years old his mother finally passed away, after teaching him how to hunt and survive, she had completed her goal. Bjorn could survive in his own now. Although he was still treated like dirt, Bjorn still went on with his life and began foraging and hunting in the wilderness outside of the village, he taught himself how to fight during his time alone. This went on for 11 years, Bjorn became so self sufficient that he could survive in the wild with nothing but himself. During those 11 years he found value in banditing, he would stop unguarded carriages in the roads and demand they hand over goods, but for however heartless the world made him, Bjorn did not steal all from them, and left them with enough to survive. After those 11 years, a new ruler had taken over Ormsdall. This man was cruel and corrupt, he forced the people into slavery and destroyed their homes to raise pointless statues of himself. Bjorn had been taking from rich carriages and giving to people just like himself when he was a child, now he realised it would not end until he interjected himself, unless he acted. Bjorn snuck into the Grand Jarl’s quarters while he was sleeping, and slit his throat. He then presented the village the head of their oppressor, and promised they would not suffer like this again.

Bjorn is now the leader of the town of Ormsdall, he distributes goods to those who act and don’t simply watch, he recognizes those who achieve and rewards accordingly.
