General Information
Persona History:
Thorvald is an Icelandic Norseman who was born in the spring of 975. He came late to his father’s house. His mother was a woman who worked the kitchen of Egil’s steading. She caught his eye and Thorvald was the result. Egil already had sons so Thorvald would never really inherit anything. The best he could hope for would do be a hand of the steading.
In his seventeenth year he decided he would follow in his father’s footsteps and go a-Viking. This pleased his father and was gifted with gear that he would need. Egil helped him find a good ship to join. For the next several years he raided and traded with that ship along the coast of the Saxons, Irish and Franks. Thorvald had heard tales of a golden city called Miklagard and decided he must see this for himself. He joined a company of the Rus and traveled the rivers to this fabled city. He returned to the Danish lands by way of the Mediterranean Sea. Once there he used the wealth he had acquired to build a ship of his own. He called it the Hrafn and with his personal fame attracted a fine company of warriors. Thorvald led this ships company in raids and wars. Even though they were not always on the winning side they would always do well for themselves. He even joined Jarl Sigard against Brian Boru. With his warriors Thorvald claimed one of the islands of the Hebrides as his steading.
