In the days of Ysgramor the Great, when Atmora was still a green-laden paradise. Clan Thoreyn's earliest recorded ancestor appears, Ryndarr Wolf-Eye. Ryndarr's allies described him as a tall and brooding man. He was said to have acquired his nickname after being tackled and mauled by a Direwolf. In the early Merethic Era, Ryndarr accompanied Ysgramor and the Five Hundred Companions across the Sea of Ghosts to the land of Tamriel. Ryndarr reportedly helped build Saarthal, an ancient Atmoran site. After The Return, Ryndarr helped construct Windhelm and the Palace of the Kings. According to legend, Ryndarr passed peacefully in his sleep, not knowing his descendants would found one of the greatest Clans.

One of Ryndarr Wolf-Eye's descendants, whos name has been lost through the ages, mothered/fathered a man named Arnsker. Arnsker was a Nordic soldier who served in the Windhelm Guard. He loyally served the Nordic Empire and its rulers, and after marrying a woman named Frila, founded Clan Thoreyn. Taking its name loosely from the Ancient Nordic God Tsun. Arnsker founded the Clan with the focus of serving at the discretion of the Gods, and the High King.

## Chapter Three: The Second Era

The first recorded Head of Clan Thoreyn in the first era was Ragnar Thoreyn, a Nordic soldier and commander of the Windhelm Guard. His son Jurgen also served as commander of the Guard. They both were described as very loyal to the High King, and very gregarious. Jurgen's son Harold was a military advisor to the High King, and Thane of Windhelm. Harold's son Olaf's history was lost through translations however. Torvild I, son of Olaf, served as the next Head, and took to changing the way Clan Thoryen sees other races, specifically the Dunmer. The cause of this change was reportedly due to a Dark Elf saving Torvild's son Karl. Karl Thoreyn was the founder of The Northern Brigade, a military unit designed to protect all loyal to the Nordic ways and High King Jorunn. Karl served in the Second Akaviri Invasion, where tragically his youngest brother Arveld died fighting. In 2E 606 his younger brother Vollar, who had reportedly grew jealous of Karl who had been their father's favorite, challenged him to a Duel. Karl died in this duel after being stabbed in the heart. Karl's son Torvild II took over as Head of Clan Thoreyn, seeing his uncle as a murderer.
