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
Since the thrown remained empty, the leaders from all sides disputed the title of Kung. Those in Härkm said that wars were necessary and the only way to resolve the situation, those in Löngslätt still defended a monarchy as in the days of Kung Hakrin the Unifier, and Branskög, though descendants of the first royal family, were for an absolutist monarchy, recalling the old myths of Norfst. In them it is told that the Kung and their relatives were descended from a special ore given to them by the gods, which gave them above-average abilities, such as intelligence, fightingpower and artistic talent.

Thus, internal conflicts arose with other tribes nearby, the house of Härkm quickly lost the support of its followers as 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 disband the Härkms. The two that remained fought over power for at least 10 years, but no wars occurred as the leaders of both groups maintained a passive-aggressive relationship regarding the times they were united for a brief moment, with Åke being the leader from the royal clan of Branskög and Pfjordra being the figurehead of the Löngslätt bracket.

The leaders were very different but they had the number of children in common, funnily enough they were all born 4 years apart. Åke left only a single son and several daughters, while Pfjordra had seven sons and no daughters. They all grew up in a perfect world, full of culture, traditional cuisine, until they all turned 16, the year that Norfst people celebrate the transition to adulthood.

The blood waves
When their fathers died, the two firstborn sons of both clans decided to continue the legacy of the old leaders and kept a neutral relationship. However, the people of Norsft were already impatient, after 26 years they demanded a Kung and so a larger variant enters the scene, the Grönbröd family. This noble clan had been in high society since the times of Kung Hakrin and therefore had a strong connexion to the descendants of the royal family, of course, the leaders of both families had been good friends since birth and now with their union with a wedding, their ties became even closer.

The Grönbröd's have had military commanders since the discovery of fire itself, and their relationship with the battlefield could be seen as a father-son bond. They cried out for waves of blood in an ocean of war, and were clearly against the decision to dissolve the Härkm house, but decided to let it be, as their relationship with the royal family could not be jeopardized. Although the Groenbroed family had been supposedly passive in recent years, they had big plans and they all started with this one wedding.

The member of the Grönbröd's who married one of the daughters of the royal clan gave the military family even more power in the sacred house, and with the help of the famous bandit clan, the Masouri, they succeeded in betraying and exiled (again) the original royal family. As a result, tensions between the clans increased, and though the war was not in the plans, the Löngslätt house had to be prepared for what was to come. But they were not prepared, one by one the seven sons of the Löngslätt clan died, some poisoned, others murdered. By the time the house realized what was happening it was almost too late, only one son had survived, Kaarl (Haggly) Löngslätt, the youngest of them all. He had been on a holiday trip to the emerging Empire of Bardonia and has now has returned to the blood waves.
