Uthred Newt

## **Early Life and Migration to New Norkia**

Uthred Newt was born sometime after the Crusade into Norkia, his exact date of birth is unknown. Uthred's family had migrated to New Norkia, hoping to escape the widespread devastation that had befallen their homeland. Upon arrival, Uthred's father joined under Odin Afruthul's armies and had fought at both The Second Battle of Goldpeaks and The Battle of Axony. His father had amassed a large amount of wealth from his service and some time before the Donnington Annexation of New Norkia, Uthreds family had moved to a small island neighboring the Chinikan Lord-In-Exile Honzo Honzo Makiyama's Domain. Uthred's father had planned to establish a small fishing village upon this island, and had also invited many of his brother in arms and their families who served with him years prior. The establishment of this fishing village proved to become successful and soon word spread of a new Norkish Safe haven. By Mid 1625 A.T.F the fishing village had amassed a population of nearly 3,000+ inhabitants, and was officially called Uthralda.

## **A Chief Unscaved**

By 1626 A.T.F Uthred's father had passed away in his sleep, and with no other children Uthred was crowned the Chief of Uthralda. Uthred by this point was either in his late teens or early twenties, but had eagerly been learning from his father over the years. From a young boy up until his coronation as Chief, Uthred had followed closely in his father's footsteps. This dedication to continuing his father's legacy showed, as he formed a Tribal Militia to defend the village. Furthermore he expanded his village's fish exportation capabilities by signing several deals with The East Franikan Reichlandian Branch, and constructed a makeshift wall around the village. Uthred's rule would continue without trouble, until news had reached Uthred that what remained of New Norkia was annexed by Alexander Clement; The King of Donnington.

Initially upon learning the news, Uthred preceded by requesting an audience with the King of Donnington. After several months of waiting, the news worsened when Uthred discovered that a majority of the Norkish Veterans of The First Reichlandian Civil War and their leadership had been deported back to Norkia. What remained of the Norkish Lands were a series of puppet Jarls and Chieftains who answered to The Kingdom of Donnington. Finally The Court of Donnington had sent a reply to Uthreds request. Although the King himself would not meet Uthred, if his village agreed to pay a 15% tax off all income garnered then their lands would be left fully autonomous. Although initially irritated by this demand Uthred knew that refusal would result in retaliation, something his village would not be capable of withstanding. Uthred accepted with haste, and his rule and realms autonomy continued uninterrupted.

## **Later Life and Death**

By luck and happenstance Uthred manage to outlive both The Kingdom of Donnington and The King Himself. Uthred was one of the many notable individuals invited to the Capitol to discuss the establishment of the Republic of Reichland. Uthred deferred this invitation as he had more pressing matters to attend to, later deciding not to go. Uthred's realm was treated as a Realm of Donnington Officially and thus still had to be referred to as such during the integration of The Kingdom of Donnington into The Republic of Reichland. During the transitional process Evan Woodsley had forgotten about the realms existence, thus Uthralda was quietly forgotten about during the integration of The Kingdom of Donnington into The Republic. Uthred would live out the rest of his years in peace, and would later die in his sleep in 1666 A.T.F. It's said that Uthred had lived to an old age, and had several children who would go on to rule Uthralda for many years.

## **Personality**

Uthred was known to be eager to lead, he had a deep care for the village and the legacy his family name held. Uthred was said to be more of a realist, and thus Uthred unlike many of the Norks wasn't religious. Uthred was known to be slow to adapt, but was still willing nonetheless.
