## History of Bjarni

Early Life

Bjarni had grown up in a small fishing village off the coast of Sjoni, a frozen tundra continent. The village was not known for much, resources were not abundant so traveling far for necessities was normal for his family. Fish were the main source of trade for the town, small caravans occasionally made trips to the village in the summer months to supply rare fish to the nobles of the land however, this did not pay high. Bjarni secretly dabbled into druid crafts while his family was out scavenging, this was not respected in his community.

An old rustic book purchased from a druidic merchant passing through the village had allowed Bjarni to begin his path to provide for the forests. The Book was titled Force and Focus. Rituals, sacrifices, potions, spells, and hidden tips of the forests were held in bindings of this book. Bjarni had begun performing rituals shown in this book, many involving feeding the forests blood of living creatures. Wealth had begun flowing into the village, a castle was constructed in the depths of the surrounding forest. The population of the village almost doubled in under a year making it nearly impossible to participate in rituals for the forest. Small contributions to the land were made however the expansive nature of the village had begun thinning the forests and tainting the water from the river leading to the ocean.

### Survival

A nomadic tribe had wandered into the village late on night, stopping by the markets and making there way to the small tavern hosted near the newly constructed docks. One of the newly moved in villagers had been at the tavern, already intoxicated. Even though Bjarni hadn’t been at the tavern, it was clearly heard that he had started the fight with one of the Nomads. Screams were heard all over the village, it seemed that nearly 20 men had set alight and begun butchering people all over the town. Bjarni quickly grabbed a box of goodies, including his book and a few other Druidic tomes and ran towards the docks like his parents had informed him to do since he was a child. His family skin boat had been battered from storms that had ravaged the land in the later month, although it was still sailable. While packing the boat, some of the Nomads had leaped on the dock and begun pillaging and sinking the boats to prevent escape. Once they had reached the skin boat of Bjarni’s family one of them noticed the book and glanced at Bjarni. Without words, the Nomad had expressed an understanding with him and pushed the boat out to sea. The cold calm ocean had taken the boat quickly out far from the town. The lights of the village disappeared within minutes when the boat sailed south, until he reached the mouth of the river, the storms had flooded areas inland meaning large amounts of water were pushing into the ocean. The currents pushed the small boat into the depths.

Days later after nearly freezing, a large crashing sound blew into his ears. The boat had beached on a frozen sheet of ice, Bjarni quickly ran to shore over the thickened ice and begun to gather materials for a fire. With little of his strength left he used the tomes to ignite the fire and protecting himself for a few more moments.
