Supporting NPCs of No Rest for the Wicked

Old Man Throm

Crowned king of Orbaal in 714 CY, he is the younger son of Alegar I and currently married to four wives. The kingdom he inherited was far from united; clans warred or allied with each other as they saw fit and many paid tribute to the king with considerable reluctance. The new king’s policies have done nothing to restore a spirit of unity.

Girtha Asgersson

The daughter of an apothecary and a woman of sharp intellect and sharper ambition, she is the first wife of Odrik Asgersson, bearing him five children although only two have survived, and provides council to her husband while in Hraldarstead.

Torvald Hjael

An exiled Bjarg warrior, Torvald joined Thrain’s march to Hraldarstead, looking to redeem himself in the eyes of his valhakar. Needing spare bodies for a mission, he was ordered to join Karl “The Grey” Torbensson in retrieving the missing Hraldarstead silver no matter the cost. His overconfidence was his downfall, slain by the draugr in the Lunareth Hollow.
