**Personality:**

Njord is an incredibly loyal and dedicated friend, and much like his former countrymen (most of whom he still has a good standing relationship with) has a very short temper. However, Njord tries to avoid fighting at all costs, which is very un-Asarian of him. Don’t get me wrong, the man can fight, just as good if not better than most Asarians, but he hates doing it. That’s why he left his country, he loved everything about except the fact they’re constantly fighting. Njord sees fighting as a last resort, so his temper usually shows in nasty remarks and snide gestures. Which, sometimes escalates into a fight. Njord usually wins.
Njord as stated above is incredibly loyal and dedicated to his friends, or as he considers the other royals, his family. He’d crawl to the ends of Avalon for them, and he’s not afraid to tell them that. He doesn’t often say ‘I love you’ and he’s never the first one to say it, he’ll reply with an ‘I love you too’ but he’s never the first to say it. Njord is a man of action, not words so he’ll ‘’show’’ people that he loves them with all his heart.
As stated above, Njord is rather quiet and reserved preferring to show what he means and wants to do through actions. He speaks very few words unless you’re a close friend, and he takes a while to warm up to. He’s always cordial and respectful, even if you don’t treat him that way… he loses that cordialness when someone starts being disrespectful and rude towards one the other four royals. That’s the one instance where he immediately responds with violence. Usually with a good punch in the face, often breaking the offender’s nose. The people of Tourvaille quickly learned to show reverence and respect towards Kseniya, Xenia and Gabriel when Njord is present. He’s the quiet guardian of the Tourvaillian monarchs.

**History:**

Njord Odinson is the son of Odin Njordson and Ingebjørg Erikdotter, a very young couple from a sub-clan within Drangar and when I say young… I mean very young. Njord was born when Ingebjørg was just turning 16 years old. Njord was no more than three months old when his parents went into their coming of age ceremony. Only one made it out alive. Odin was the only parent to make it out, Ingebjørg had missed much training and was out of shape and just wasn’t ready to fight, so she lost and was killed.
Njord went to live with Odin, who moved to a separate clan within Drangar, he was an experienced woodsman so he had to stay within Drangar but his old clan had far too many memories so he took Njord to live with him in a new clan. It was in this new clan that Odin met a new woman and married her, and had another son who was named Randall Odinson, Njord’s half-brother younger than Njord by a factor of six years.
From a young age, Njord took well to fighting but he secretly hated it all and dreaded the coming of age ceremony, not because he’d worry if he lost, but because he didn’t want to kill anyone if at all possible, but Njord hid this from everyone. Meanwhile his half-brother Randall seemed to love fighting and was determined to beat Njord, though he never did. It was like they were opposites. Njord was good at fighting but hated it, Randall loved fighting but was awful at it.
When Njord was 15 years old and was on a mission to fell some large trees in the forest, he wound up saving an Altherian girl from being shot - by Randall no less. Njord sent Randall back home while he heard this stranger’s tale. She wove him a story, that he had been in her vision, that he, Njord Odinson would become a great king of a faraway and beautiful kingdom, that never fought unless needed. The girl, whose named was Kseniya Talnika seemed very much like a seer and Njord put a lot of stock into seers. Most of Asar did.
Njord took her into the clan square and announced he would be leaving with this seer because he had a greater destiny to fulfill, as stated above, the Asarians don’t question seers, putting much faith and stock into them. If this seer said Njord had a greater purpose, it must be true. Njord gathered supplies, bid his family and clan goodbye and struck out on a grand quest with his new friend, who later became something akin to a sister.
They eventually ran into Xenia Argyris and Gabriel Trueblood, who, according to Kseniya were the other two people in her vision. The pair explained their quest to Xenia and Gabriel, who seemed skeptical at first, but Xenia and Kseniya seemed to have a thing for each other right away so he didn’t question it when they came along on their great quest.
The four eventually found a great land in which they intended to found their kingdom, and gathered a great many people to join them in their kingdom of equality, art and freedom, and so the great kingdom of Tourvaille was founded with Njord, Kseniya, Xenia and Gabriel as the four monarchs of the kingdom.
