Allvar Bearpaw

**Allvar** is a count of the Kingdom of Irulan and current leader of Tokkotentoski, located in the southern kabryestekan plains.

His parents and most of his heritage are unknown, as Allvar can’t remember his past since he woke up one day on an island’s shore in Eldham with a severe wound on his head. Due to his clothing and some runes on the blade he was carrying it can be assumed he is from a nordic Tribe.

## History

As he escaped the island he was stranded on, he started to work as a day labourer here and there. Because of this he started to learn where he was and would hopefully get to know who he was and where he came from. He wandered through the lands seeking answers. After weeks going on like this he already passed the borders of several kingdoms. He learned about the lands of Eldham he was in.

### Life in Irulan

Allvar noticed he was dragged more to the north but he couldnt tell why. Eventually he came across a nation which was covered in snow. A few days before he got there he heard the name of Bjorn Helvigson several times, which was one of the leaders of the snowy kingdom he was now in. He heard storys about him and his realm and decided to find the man. He talked with people along his journey through the kingdom which he found out was called Irulan. He finally made it to the town Ormsdall where Bjorn was living and tried to get an audience in his hall. Somehow this cold country made Allvar feel happy, so while searching for Bjorn he came up, bit by bit, with the idea to ask to settle here. As Allvar finally saw the one he was looking for, since Bjorn Helvigson was a man with an intimidating aura and charisma, he first hesistated a few seconds before walking towards him. Bjorn told Allvar to sit down and tell him his story after he heard why Allvar was seeking him. After their conversation Bjorn told him he could stay in Ormsdall while he seeks council of the other leaders of Irulan and where to send Allvar to settle. So it came that Allvar was introduced to Bulgus, the Chieftain of the Kabryestekan and ruler of the Settlement Tokkotentoski. He took Allvar with him there and gave him a place to settle.

As Allvar were there, spending weeks to build his own house and as he was finished doing so, Bulgus officially appointed him a tribesmen and citizen of Tokkotentoski and Irulan. As the weeks and months passed Allvar got more and more integrated in the daily life of Tokkotentoski and the other kingdoms citizen. The place now started to feel like home and the people around him felt like family. As he was working, Allvar noticed his hands got quite big by all the hard work he was doing. So it came that the people started calling him "bearpaw" as a joke. But he kind of liked that name and as he couldnt remember anything from his past but his first name, he decided to make that "joke" a part of him. As he said that full name out quietly for the first time by his own, here in his own humble home sitting at his fireplace in the middle of the night, he smiled as he said... "Allvar Bearpaw."

### Chieften of Tokkotentoski

After quite some time passing by, the people of Tokkotentoski had started to get worried, as their leader Bulgus often was unavailable or gone for several weeks on some journeys. One day Allvar caught him on the now very rare moments he was walking through Tokkotentoski, and spoke to him about the unrest and worries rising in the settlement. In the conversations they had on that and the following days it became clear that Bulgus needed to deal with some important tasks overseas concerning his own family, and revealed that he couldn’t be around anytime soon or for several weeks or even months.

By this time Allvar was pretty well integrated into Tokkos daily live and became a respected individual among the citizens, and so it came that he was announced the new Chieftain of Tokkotentoski as he was the best option to take the lead over the settlement’s businesses.

To this day, Bulgus never has been seen again in or near Irulan, leaving his fate a mystery.

After several months working reliably as Tokkos governor and leader, Allvar got offered a leading position at the same time King Dvusi and King Bjorn retired and new Kings got crowned. He accepted and now holds the title of a count of Irulan up to today.

To this day Allvars origin is still unsolved.
