Nils Björn

Quiet, and always seeming to be associated with the troubles caused by his older brother, Nils never QUITE seemed to be at fault. Like his brother, Nils was never comfortable in the Björn family who valued hard work over dreams of glory. He, like Leif, desired power and glory for himself but unlike his brother felt that Atamara did not allow him the chance for upward movement that he greatly desired. As such, when his brother Leif decided to leave home, Nils snuck out and made his way to Eaglin where he stowed away on several ships down the river to Calis. Here, he bartered passage on a trading vessel heading to one of the newly discovered lands, eventually landing in the City of Madina on Dwilight.

Once in Madina, he was taken under the wing of a local Baron. Here, Nils was shown the ropes of how to manage an estate in the fresh young duchy and made a name for himself in fighting Monsters. It was after a particularly bloody battle in the province of Lugagun where he met Baldur of the House of Mekorig and became entranced with his dream of founding a new nation to the north of the Continent. Seeing his opportunity to forge a name for himself, Nils joined Baldur and his fellow nobles on their experiment.

However, during the voyage, both Baldur and his fellow soldier M'oko de Succio disappeared during their trip to scout out the lands they wished to colonise. Without the leaders of his movement present, Nils found himself lost in Shadovar, directionless.
