Erik Kjaer

Erik Kjaer (MC Username: EnriqueNice) is the only living member of the Kjaer Dynasty, and citizen of Finna on the island of Kinross.

## Ancestry

Erik’s ancestry goes far back in time. The furthest we can go back is to the Old Finna civilization.

###### Callunos of Dhragos

We know that his great great grandfather named Callunos was an intellectual, travelling around Althea, exchanging books and information with other intellectuals and clergy from that time. When he visited Old Finna, the local duke of Dhragos was a big fan, and invited him to move in. He eventually married the duchess and became duke. Sadly for the duchess, he still followed his passion for science and continued to travel. This resulted in them only having one child, Matilda IV.

###### Matilda IV of Kinross and the Grand Feast

Duchess Matilda was around the age of 13 when the Grand Feast happened. Luckily for her, she had a severe flu and couldn’t attend. She managed to hide from Domhnall’s reign of terror, hiding in a cabin in the woods. When she heard about the news of a new settlement, she packed her stuff and went there. She was welcomed with open arms, and was granted the small Thanedom (the local name of duchy) of Kinross. She married a local merchant and had a child named Erik I. Sadly, Matilda passed away during birth, and his father committed suicide a few days after. This meant that the council could easily remove him from his position to finalize the republic. Erik I continued to live in a house, eventually marrying a young Kinrossian girl and having two children, twins.

###### Harald of Kinross

The children were named Liam and Harald. Sadly, Liam died of smallpox at the age of 4. Harald was a regional merchant, mainly selling goods between Kinross and Wynn. At the age of 27, he was married to a distant cousin who could trace her roots back to the brother of the son of the brother of Callunos. Both bloodlines matched, and they married a few years later. During their honeymoon, she got pregnant, and Erik (II) Kjær was born.

## Erik's youth

Erik had always been a shy boy. Since he was born, he always liked being alone. He liked reading and staying inside and preferred to avoid social contact as much as possible. He never went to kindergarten and was raised by his parents. Only when he was 6, he went to school. He did excellent in primary school and went to high school with great grades. His favourite subject being history.

## The beginning of his adult life

When he finished high school, he went abroad to study theology, which wasn't his thing. After a few months, he quit and studied History instead. For four years, he traveled around Althea to speak with fellow historians and exchange information like his great great grandfather. When traveling abroad, he discovered a lot of his ancestry and found out about his family's claim on the Thanedom. He started reading old scriptures in different libraries, and found out that his family never gave up the claim. After discovering this, he started researching and experiencing the past traditions that have shaped his dynasty.
