Nemoralis

Nemoralis, Filius Silvanos, Merinita Nature Mysteries

Description & History

In the years 1123 and 1125, Jarl Bankjar Jarlabankson was gifted with his first son Born and his second son Brand. Of Born it is said that Wotan laughed and thundered when Hilda gave birth. He was born to lead and protect. Of Brand it is said that he was the love-child of Bankjar and Ulfheddhra, one of Freya‘s strongest and dearest shieldmaiden, and delivered to Bankjar‘s doorstep at Walpurgis-Night in 1125, the godess most holy day of the year. He was born to guide and care.

Both brothers fought a lot but had a deep connection to each other. And their people soon acknowledged that both carried the best qualities of their father in them. But when Brand‘s 10th year arrived, an old fabled Godr-Priest named Silvanus entered the house of the Jarl and claimed tutorship of the young boy. In seeing the great honor in this exclamation, Jarl Bankjar gladly offered his second-born to the intimidating priest who left with small Brand the same evening. Born was allowed to escort his younger brother only to the beginnings of the forest and, on his return to the village, conveyed that the old Godr and Brand were swallowed by the trees and disappeared before his very eyes.

After six years, a big young man reappeared in the village and demanded to be brought to his father. He was brought to the new Jarl, for the old Jarl Bankjar had died a year before, and both recognized themselves as brothers Jarl Bankjar and and young Brand, the new Godr of the region. Brand was welcomed as the returned Jarl-son and merrily accepted as Godr of the region. While fullfilling his duties, Brand now and again left with Silvanus to learn secret wisdom in a far-away place called Durenmar.

Ereignisse und Begegnungen:

• Mutabor, ich und Aureolis sollen eine Regio und einen alten Diedne-Konvent einer Le Borchan finden. Die Regio kann nur zweimal im Jahr durch drei Magier betreten werden und befindet sich in einer starken Regio im Ottenthal.
• Ganelon, Marshall vom Kloster Fengheld, aus dem Hause Criamon "begrüßt" uns. Ein unangenehmer Zeitgenosse, sehr von sich eingenommen, aber unsere erste Bewährungsprobe zu erfolgreicher Diplomatie.
• Suche nach Ebar, dem Schlinggeist, um ihn zu besänftigen
