Explorers and warriors alike they head west to find new plunder, and along with the coffers of English parishes they found a lush Volcanic Island on the Cusp of the Arctic Circle. It was however the inhabitants of that island that however veered History for Northern Europe in a New Course. Magical Being laid claim to the fields of Iceland, Enormous Creatures that blotted out the sun when the took flight lived within the depths of the Volcanic Caverns that dotted the Island's Surface. Then Leader of this expedition began a Charge into the Lands he Thought to be Asgard itself. Slaying the beasts of the Island and using the innate magical properties within them in order grow his strengths. Years later this man Returned to his home in Upper Norway to find it long abandoned, With the Tools of Asgard at his side he began a Conquest that would within a Few years Unite Much of Scandinavia under his banner. He was a harsh man who cared little for the people he ruled, His Strength alone kept his crown. Many of his defeated foes and starving peasants fled to the lands of Asgard, some looking for a new home and others a way to take back there old ones.

1 - Fraigh continues work on THE WALL. Things are going so well, he ought to spruce it up a little...
2 - And so he does. During his work, Fraigh commissions some of the local masons to carve special milestones to be placed in the wall at certain points along its length. The stones would feature scenes from Celtic mythology, the tales of the building of Tara and its courts. Runes in ogham would be etched into them, to tell the story. The meaning was clear; Fraigh was comparing the new Settlement to the ancient and sacred city of Tara, and himself to the first High Kings who constructed it. Such a move would surely bolster his public opinion and aid his campaign.

He decided that he would find a place among the fables, and make a true name for himself in this new land, taking any true Irish men who would go with him.

The Norman Settlement: >Stanley, Earl of Kent (54)(100) - Your slow slip into the blackness is peaceful. The pain slowly dulls from an overwhelming presence until you no longer feel it, thoughts of your family slowly float in front of you and then all is black. You don’t know how long you sat in the blackness before the the pain reappeared, this time harsher than ever, it overwhelm every sense you have and you are forced to open your eyes. You shoot up and quickly shut your eyes blinded by the brightness of your surroundings. Tentatively you open them to see the relieved yet terrified face of your healer staring to the side of you. Slowly you turn your head to see a young woman sitting there. She smiles and begins to speak in language that you can’t describe. It seems a mixture of Human and something else, your confusion grows when her eyes widen and he lets loose a sultry laugh. “My apologies, I haven’t used your tongue before. It is much different than mine own” she slowly stands and saunters toward you. The dull pain you felt all over your body turns into an overwhelming heat as she gets closer to you. Sliding up next to you she runs she hand over the enormous gash in your chest where the beast had nearly split you at. “I’m glad by prayers were answered” she plants a kiss on one of your smaller and still very much bleeding wounds and feel as her mouth pulls away the flesh knits together. As she slides off your chest you feel the now incredibly comfortable heat leave you, “ Your Healer must look after you, I hope you’ll come visit me once he has deemed you fit” and has she closes the tent flap behind her your world she to become devoid of all warmth.

1 - Well the native Irish are happy, but it seems most here are English. No matter, I spent some time in England, I know their ways. Even though much of that time pillaging and warring. Well, time to build bridges as well as walls. I shall appeal to these Englishmen by presenting myself as a true Norman man, drawing at their natural love of homely environments, comforts and poor dental hygiene.

Stanley, Early of Kent, was not at all like his racous and boisterous brother William.
A serious and somber man, he stared listened as Bernadine profused her gratitude toward him, shaking his hand up and down.
He was quiet for a while. Then he broke character in what could only be described impossible as a smile and a nod.
"You do your family and your house honor. When my brother ascends the throne, I will ensure that he confirms your knighthood.
You fought to save me from the beast where no other man did. I am proud to have you as my personal guard."

I am truly honored that you would even offer me such a title, I will serve you and guard you with my life, Earl Stanley!" Bernadine was on her knee the moment she heard knighthood, but quickly rose after speaking her piece. She took her seat and chugged the rest of her drink before looking at you with a smile.

Purple Settlement: Development [1] >Fraigh macDiadh (69) You gather a number of men who wish to join you in the hunt, gathering a number of horses and hounds in what you hope is English fashion. While much of the small folk never participated in such a hunt they see nothing wrong with it and are looking forward to the meat. It takes a few hours to organize but early in the morning you and nearly 100 prospective hunting head north west into the forest. During the three day hunt you and the men captures hundreds of rabbits, tens of deer, and even a few enormous boar for the return feast. Oddly along the path back to the settlement you and your riders head out for one last jaunt into the forest. When a beast is heard you and your men give chase only to net what looks like large lamb. Your mouth watering at the prospect of lamb you approach only to be met face to face with … a human? Standing at about navel height the tiny lamb women explains that priests arrived in their village not long ago and she was sent as a diplomat to your settlement. Her heavily accented Irish seems to be recently taught, without much ceremony one of your men tie her and throw her over your horse. Though you wish he hadn’t… it seems the lamb people are not fond of clothing and her privates are in full view. Rushing forward to stop those strange thoughts you gaze down upon the recently completed wall and smile.
Gavin Thomas
(100) (The Wall is Completed) You rush down the and begin rousing your workers, and within minutes the wall is surrounded in enormous roasting fires. It does not take long before the smell of the feast draws out the majority of the settlement and soon an enormous party is taking place right outside the “Gate”. Lining the wall with art drawn in animal blood you depict the great hunt as you describe the story, the Christians enraptured and Irishmen howling as you describe it. Soon nearly half of the wall is covered in similar art describing a number of mythological stories. You retire for the night, only to be pasted the bound form of the sheep women as you enter your tent, “She passed out with fear as you began your first story, she’s yours anyways” though from her heavy breathing you think she passed out from another reason… (Reputation Progress +7 (14/20)) (The Christians of the town are more accepting of your pagan views, and a number of them have accepted them as truth) (+Sheep women thing)

>Charles Idicus (35) - It becomes obvious that even with your enormous bribe that not a single person is willing to make a voyage with you, blacksmiths are well payed in this little settlement so why give that up. Dejected, you send out a crewmen to notify the ship of your failure. As you wander market you begin down one of the newer alleys and notice the sound of a hammer hitting an anvil. With one last spark of hope you head forward to see an old man look up at you. His sleek white hair frames his face as he hammers away on a tiny anvil. Discussions go no where as he speaks in what you can only assume is some dialect of Iberian, as you continue to try and persuade the man a comely young woman comes out of the modest hut behind the smith. She speaks a broken and heavily accented Irish but when you show her the bag of gold her face alights, she began tapping what you presume to be her father on the shoulder until he looks up. Spying the gold in the bag a smile break out on his face, she quickly clarifies that he is not a blacksmith but a goldsmith and would gladly work for you in return for the sack. (+Old Goldsmith, +Goldsmith’s daughter) (-1 sack of gold) (36) - You set sail that evening your crew mood high, but are stopped as a thunderous storm begins to roar above, thinking better of it you decide to stay in harbor until it passes.

Whenever you are in your workshop she hangs about and eventually drags you out to the gardens, not that you are complaining. Your long black hair and ample breasts keep your attention as she drones on about gossip, mostly about the Manor Servants. However she does peak an interest it seems she, along with her brothers funding, has discovered a flower within the swamp perfect for making very expensive dye. She is an accomplished Seamstress and has decided that if her brother first voyage be successful she wanted to make a textile workshop here. Other than that little tidbit she seems to find life here very boring. (99*) You spend a good amount of time after your moments with Eliza grinding away at work. After what seems to be one hectic months another of your ships if completed. When the merchants sees it, he lights up “Now we have enough to begin” and exclaims. Confused he begins to explain that he is going to be making the first trip back to British Isles the three vessels filled to the brim with raw good.

Most of it are variety of “edible” plants from the local area as well as one man who brought in a bundle of grass saying and I quote “Makes fur good smoakin bousss”. The best of the bunch would be the few precious stones that were excavated from the mud about a nearby stream. (84) - While the plains are devoid of much wood large jutting rocks, mud and straw will be made into shelter until a forest can be located. The Mountains to your east seem to be shedding stone, and soon the thought of using straw and mud is thrown out as more and more stone piles are located across the plains.

Purple Settlement: >Fraigh macDiadh (92)(56) - You order the charge and sever the head of the sheep before you head in yourself, they fall to your blades like a lamb to the slaughter. Within minutes the 8 beasts lay dead upon the cave floor adding to the already rotten smell of their den. You approach the bleeding child the older sheep holding him tight to her chest, flinching as you reach for her. Their tanned skin contrasts with the paleness of the other sheep monsters you had previously interacted with. You turn around toward the entrance of the cave to see the beheaded sheep woman who guided you here stand. Around you the slain beasts began to reform and an inky black voice begins to resonate through the halls, unintelligible until it slowly coagulated into a bastardized version of Irish. “I would appreciate if you were not so harsh on my concubines, they are such delicate creatures.” You doubt those world as you watch one of the concubines pick up half of what you assume was her brain and stuff it back into her reforming skull. “If you must have our meal go ahead, though I ask that once you do you don’t return…” the lingering threat from whatever undead overlord you are listening to is enough for most of your men to turn and leave, taking the women and the boy in your arms you sprint from the cave your last glimpse being of an ethereal form materializing from the shadow a wide grin etched across the pitch black body. (+You saved Goat Mom - She is special) (+You discovered whatever the hell that was)

(91) You spend your time in the Manor with Eliza, and her feeling become more obious the more you focus on her instead of the ships. Her odd infatuation in you becomes overwhelmingly clear when at the end of the week, using the excuse of the storm raging outside, Eliza snuck into your room and under the covers. If that wasn’t enough, her hands seems attracted to your more private body parts. If you had not the self control it would have been that night, not the morning after, you sunk yourself into her. Though it might have been more appropriate as the kitchen maid finding you two a top your workbench might have been less than discrete. (99*+18) With a hop in your step you get to work on the ship that week, though with less time to spend your work is more passionate than ever.

(14) - While you are out the settlers beached the fleet and began to build a rudimentary town on the beach. Bye the tiem your back one of the ships has been stripped down and turned into a shack for you… while the sentiment is nice your plans were more or less put to the curb.

The Portuguese Settlement >Fancisco de Coimbra (9) You send a few of your trusted men to make the journey back to the larger settlement to trade for lumber. By the weeks end you are worried the men weren’t going to return until you see a ship on the horizon. As they beach you can tell that trade did not go so well, back at the purple settlement a number of mishaps lead to the loss of most of the gems. Using the few they had left they bought axes and headed into the forest to collect some wood and using the rest they got it process into some lumber. (+2 Woodcutting axes) (+Small Stack of Processed lumber)(-All the gems) (45) It is quickly identified which of the plant caused the testers death, and it is now shunned by hungry followers.

The French Settlement >Orven Luvem (94)(56) - Using the light forests of the Area you begin setting up a number of huts, by the end of your first few weeks here you have enough to house your settlers and many of them have begun improving upon their rudimentary huts with bits and pieces of their own possessions.

The Wilds: >Cadfael ap Llywelyn Fawr (94)(98) - You cut a clear path south through the thick forest and into the marshland around the Southern Settlement (Purple). Along the way you gather quite a hefty sack of goods, if you found a trader or merchant they would undoubtedly be worth a small fortune. Or maybe you could use this information for personal gain.

Bernadine was prepped as heir to a barony in Normandy for the first five years of her life until her parents finally had a son.

1. Charles first order of business is to get walls built. The prepared lumber and and nails we purchased way back at the green settlement should be more than sufficient and we have even more since the overenthusiastic peasants broke down the ships before I could stop them. Protection in this new land takes priority. Charles will oversee the project himself working with the builders hand in hand.

2. Our next order of business is to see the land sewn with seed and crops ready to come in. Luckily we are in flatland with no trees so the land doesn't even need to be cleared. Truly Christ blesses us with the land we have found. Richard and Brienne will see to this while the scouts/explorers show them where the best land is. The old guard will protect them.

1/2 - Fraigh leads his men in quick pace, not a retreat, merely a return to the place he had previously been in a tactical manner. With the strange sheep-woman safe afore him on his horse, he rides back to the settlement, there for her and her son to heal her wounds. They will be privileged guests of his house, not to be imposed upon as his less reputable guest was the night before. And when they are well, he will try and teach them the Irish tongue, or French if they prefer something more animalistic.
>Character Name: Fraigh macDiadh >Character Nationality: Irish >Fluff: Fraigh, son of Deodh, was born in Ulster, Donagal specifically. When his city went to war with Connacht province, Fraigh followed with stalwart heart and steady blade. It was on the fields of battle that his legend grew, but it was in the fields of the Otherworld that his mind went, for Fraigh was ever enamored with the ancient Irish legends and stories of old heroes. He decided that he would find a place among the fables, and make a true name for himself in this new land, taking any true Irish men who would go with him. The Tuatha de Macha, they would be called, and they would conquer for the greatness of their forebears. >Inventory: Shield and Spear (Gae Státaire) >Companions: +The Tuatha de Macha - level 1 Company (Size: 4 warriors) +Bran the Blacksmith +Goat Mom ++Sheep Son >Traits: (Earned by Playing) >Location: Purple settlement +Quarry +Campaign Funds (Farm) +THE WALL >Campaign (14/20)
