Langdon Kirkwood "The Blue" is Forsvarian widely known for being blue, as his nickname says, and you will find the reasons behind it. Currently he is chief of Sørbyen, a village that resides west of Vinterföld as vassal.

## Appearance

His appearance is quite simple, he has blue hair with blue skin, and he wears goggles that are hold with strong leather. He is 200 centimetres tall (6.6 feet). Langdon shouldn't by his appearance, he was once normal after all. The goggles are made out of materials such as lapis and diamond, whilst behind them is... nothing, quite nothing. Most of children run from him when he takes his goggles of, as he needs to take break of them since they are hurting him sometimes.

## Personality

For one giant, he is quite soft. But you can anger him if you insult anything about him without him knowing it was joke. He loves helping people go through hard times, since he knows what it feels like. He is quite easy to cooperate with, but don't manipulate him unless you want to lose a friend. He can quite brag sometimes about his resources he collected himself, but the resources drain fast cause its needed.

## Young **Years**

Langdon was born as single son of Erik and Kara Kirkwood, whereas Erik was Hersir of Vinterföld. He grew learning agriculture from Kara, and combat from Erik, which led him to being a great farmer and hunter. Langdon had his father killed by bandits at age of 12, and was left with his mother Kara, all alone without anyone else, but they were lucky that members of Vinterföld decided to help them by constantly giving them gifts such as food and krona (an international currency).

Langdon's mother died from unknown reasons when he was 16, which led him to being alone. By this time members stopped gifting, but it's because Erik contracted with members to stop gifting after Langdon becomes 16. He was also kicked out of his house, which led him to travel around.

Around almost 17, Langdon has been struck with a curse. He was trapped in cold weather, which made his skin blue permanently, and blizzard made him lose his eyes. He fell unconscious on snow, all alone several hours, with severe hypothermia.

Bandits found him and put him in their home, burrowing him with blankets. They were amazed how he could survive in that cold weather all alone, without dying, but in same time, they were surprised by him having no eyes and blue skin. A seer that lived with them knew what he had to do and called blacksmith to forge goggles. He gave him ingredients for lens. The ingredients were all blue ores to exist to man and ones of them were diamonds and lapis.

Langdon has after few months recovered fully, and has swore to the bandits to give his life if they are ever in danger. The bandits refused, clarifying that they are thankful that he is alive.

Langdon once again come back home, and this is when all changes...

### Jarl **Björn** Colbornsson

After he came home, the people were screaming from his appearance, only one person was amazed, Björn Colbornsson which was Jarl of Vinterföld. Bjorn was so interested that when Langdon came, he asked what happened. Langdon explained everything from leaving to coming back. As he was listening, he felt a aura that was big like Erik's, and he knew he had to stay in Vinterföld.

### From Brothers to **Traitors**

Whilst he was there, he meet some people, which became his friends: Nanashi, Rollo and Fir Norpern. They all decided to have a brotherhood that was vassal to Vinterföld, but a fate struck. After few months of being friends, Nanashi and Fir decided to leave the lands of Sørbyen, they told Nanashi later, but they were worried for Langdon decision, and they were right. Langdon furiously refused, as he would take his own life for life of his Jarl. As more time passed, he felt more guilt for having to lie to Jarl, and finally confessed. Jarl spoke with traitors, permanently banning them from Vinterföld. He promoted Langdon to chief of Sørbyen but beforehand it was Rollo.

### **New** Friends

As he continued his fate, he meet new friends: Horik Guthredsson, the Hersir of Vinterföld, which has currently left to avenge his father, Björn Colbornsson, the Jarl of Vinterföld, Skarde Ragvladsson "The Fool" who makes liquor and is his best mate, Brandt Unfrid and his loving wife Freya Unfrid and Vangr.

Langdon was one to have major amount of supplements needed in favor, as he worked hard enough and collected everything he could. This time during the preparation he was tasked to get as much food, whereas he made a pile of breads with help from **Skarde** "The Fool" and **Arnfinn**, one of the **maskbearers** of the Guild. The Friendship with **Arnfinn** who was in enemy nation caused dreams. He has dreamt about Langdon several times, whereas Langdon had one time where he dreamt him. (*This won't be roughly explained, ask SerScript for details.*) **Iverisis**, a mad Hermit, decided to duel **Jarl** when **Jarldom** was going throught bad times. It wasn't duel thought, it was 4 v 1. After long wait and alot of chaos, the battle begun. **The Four Men** who fought **Iverisis** were: **Langdon**, **Grafsvin**, whereas he was invited to help **Jarl, Fir and Jarl Björn Colbornsson**. The four men were defeated, as Iverisis had **a dark magic** with him, which let him survive the attack. Jarl was heavily wounded, left on the mountain where the battle began. Grafsvin was lying on the floor, less wounded, but still bleeding. He took Jarl away from this lands, only to be never seen, seen again, untill the gods decide.

Langdon and Fir were asked to join Iverisis, whereas Langdon negotiated the deal and demanded the exile and Fir, whose should get the nickname **"Coward"** accepted his deal.

Langdon left with his most valuable things, and followed the river till the **Veðrfölnir's Guild**, where **Arnfinn Bradr** and **Njallo Arneson** welcomed him with **open arms**, as a new member of Guild. Throught these times Langdon went, **Iverisis** murdered **Jarl child** and **wife** and suffered **a** **stroke**, thus his talk is slurred.
