Holmfast The Viking[edit]
His father was a warrior who spend most of his time in Ascalon where he was born. He traveled far and wide to places no mortal had ever seen or even dreamed of seeing. these places included the Northern Shiverpeaks. Here he encountered strange people who were much larger and stronger than normal people. They called themselves the Norn. While fighting with them, Holmfast's father met a Norn named Herkja Holmguard. They fell in love and got married and had a son named Holmfast. Once he was born his father took him with him to a distant land called Elona. Holmfast was very young at the time and so he was left in the care of the Sunspears while his father was on adventures. Then, one day came news from the shorewatchers that his fathers ship had been destroyed by Corsairs and there were no survivors. Enraged Holmfast began training with the Sunspears to get revenge on the Corsair dogs that murdered his father. Once he was satisfied, which ment going all the way across the continent and killing Abbadon, he set out on a journey to find his forgotten past. Since he was so young when he was taken to Elona, Holmfast had no way of knowing exactly where he had come from. While traveling through Cantha in search of his homeland, he came across the Luxons. These Luxons reminded him very much of the Corsairs that had killed his father in Elona. Still feeling anger from what they had done, Holmfast joined with the Kurzicks to fight the Luxons. With the Luxon threat reduced, Holmfast continued his journey across the sea to find his homeland. Arriving in Lions Arch after a long journey, Holmfast caught a glimpse of the Shiverpeaks. He had herd his father speak of large mountains that he had been to before he went to Elona, but Holmfast had never seen them before. Not wasting any time Holmfast gathered a group and set out across the mountains until he came upon Ascalon City. Upon his arrival, people knew exactly who he was, and spoke to him of lands far to the north to where his father had last been seen. His path was clear, Holmfast would have to travel north, that was where his true calling was and where he would find his destiny. To this day it is rumored that Holmfast still travels up and down the Shiverpeaks raiding and pillaging whenever he feels the need. A glorious temple has been erected in his honor and keeps track of his deeds and accomplishments for all to see.
