== History ==
No one knows where the first Njords came from even tho they record important events in their history.
Some say they where guided by a mighty deity from the North Pole, others say they where born from blood and ice.
Whatever their origins is the Njords only know one thing from the beginning, war. They were neighbours to a race of ice demons simply known as the Frostlings or Cold Ones. They are known to manipulate and create ice and are the arch enemy of every Njordling. But the Njords were simply humans who got used to the cold environments where temperatures in the summer reach no more than -20 degrees celsius. The few species that can exist in the cold can be described as eldritch horrors and are said to be creatures of nightmares. But despite their disadvantages the Njordlings managed to hold against the frostlings.
One day Ulfgeir Borkr and his clan decided to establish a camp near a cave to rest for an upcoming battle against the Frostlings. Ulfgeir and a few others scouted the cave to make sure there were no enemies inside. Inside they found a huge chamber with fields of an unknown plant surrounding a lake. In the middle of the lake there was a colossal plant. When Ulfgeir came closer to the lake a plantlike women appeared from the lake. Ulfgeir and his men prepared themselves for battle but the women explained she was not an enemy. She explained that she lives in the plant that is in the center of the lake. She explained that is it called a potato same as the other plants surrounding the lake. she told them these are special potato's which can survive in any environment. The women gave Ulfgeir a potato and hesitantly he tasted it and he was shocked. He believed it to be poisonous but it was very delicious. 
The woman asks Ulfgeir: why are you here? Ulfgeir explained what their purpose was. The woman nods and explained that the Frostlings are not from this world, she explained there are several other worlds like the end and the realm of the wither (the nether). The Frostlings came from a portal in center of the north pole and this portal affected the entire north. The few original animals that lived there mutated under the influence of the portal that was connected to the demonic realm of the frostlings. Some of the demonic beasts migrated there but according to the woman, the Frostlings were not the strongest demons out there, they are considering weak. The woman offered a deal to Ulfgeir, she gives the Njords something to defeat the Frostlings and a supply of the potato's with an explanation on how to grow them. In return the Njords must defend the polar gate, because as she explained earlier Frostlings are considered as the weakest of the demon races and one day there will be far more powerful demons coming from the gate. Ulfgeir accepted and the woman gave him a wooden cup with water from the lake, she said: this is vodka and this will grant you and your people the strength to defeat the Frostlings. But there's a price you can also transform temporarily into a demon but if you don't train enough you can go berserk. Ulfgeir looked at her and drank immediately. He felt something changing in him, his muscles began to grow, he grew a few inches and his eyes where turning red. He felt reborn, when his men saw what he became they all started drinking from the lake. The woman said: dip your weapons into the lake and take some with you, and if you want bring your people here so that they can gain the power of the vodka. It was this day that Ulfgeir and his men where no longer Njords as now Ulfgeir called themselves Vanyrians, holy people in there tongue and the woman who doesn't have a name was now called, the Lady of the Potato
A couple of days after Ulfgeir’s entire clan drank the holy vodka, their first battle began. An average Frostling army is small, considering they were superior in every way. That was until Ulfgeir and his army came. The Frostlings knew that something was wrong, where they normally smelled fear they didn't smell it now. And when a arrow that was dipped in the vodka pierced one in the head and was instantly killed they knew these where not the njords. They know what followed was not a battle but a massacre, the frostlings stood no chance against the Vanyrians and their vodka weaponry. The vanyrians had no casualties but the Frostling army was wiped out, this was the start of what the Njords called the age of vengeance, After the battle more Njords converted into Vanyrians but still a small number rejected the vodka because they feared what they will become in the future. They still worked together with the Vanyrians to drive the frostlings back to the polar gate where the famous battle of the gate took place. Legends were born and died, after this was a war that lasted three months, but in the end the Vanyrians had won! The majority of the Frostlings were back into the gate, only a small number still resided in remote locations in the north. After the battle every Vanyrian clan agreed to make a new clan: The order of the lady. With one goal, to defend the polar gate. The order was a neutral clan who only fights the demons that from time to time came trying to invade. Sometimes if the need rises every clan, Vanyrian or Njord will abandon their grudges to the others temporarily and fight as brothers and sisters to protect, not only their homeland but the rest of the world.
To this day with exception of a few breakouts of the demons, the north was in peace and the Vanyrians, the Njords who didn't accept the blessing and the Delorian Dar Mer (Dark Elves in Njordic tong) lived in peace guarding the north.
=== The migration of the south ===
A few centuries past and after the fall of the kingdom of Vanyr. because of several factors, a group of people consisting of Clan the Red House Tiranios (Clan Tiranios) and Delorians migrated to the south in search for new lands and discoveries. They settled down on a peninsula in Aurora and founded Hermit Point. Later they would migrate to the Sinatra Mafia, And afterwards proceeded to create their own nation, that still exists today.
