Orlaf Skull-Splitter, known as Orlaf the Barbarian, suffered from wanderlust.
When his clan elders and lord swore their allegiance to the Northern Alliance, the young man left his homelands on the coasts of the Frozen Sea and headed south through the Ogre Lands to make his living as a sell-sword, hiring his skills out to the highest bidder.
About
Tremendously strong and skilled with blade and fist, his travels took him through the lands of Basilea to the City of the Golden Horn where he established himself as the go-to professional for wealthy merchants and nobility who lacked the physicality to solve their own problems.
His reputation was such that he was hired as one of a party to tackle the now infamous necromancer Mortibris, which only served to inflate his reputation and ego. City life agreed with him too much and standards slipped. A life of easy comforts, rich foods and vice soon took their toll and life quickly spiralled out of control. A dishevelled, broken wretch, he was found in the gutter by a traveller from the north. The softly spoken man fixed him with kind, but piercing and firm blue eyes. He was a herald he said, and the north needed their son to return for great work that was to come. It was time to return home.
At the gates of Chill, a lean, hungry and wiser Orlaf SkullSplitter sought an audience with the prince he had heard so much about. Orlaf, skjoldcarl of Talannar, has returned to his people. Woe betide any who seek their harm.
