Noorderlicht Family

Crest

OOC Crest Background

The Noorderlicht crest originates from the midieval county of Flanders, where my ooc ancestors originate from. The county was located between England, France, Holland & Germany, (north-eastern part of today's Belgium,) and had a history of indipendance struggle, but has been dominated most part of their history by their powerfull neigbours. Most renembered victory of the Flemish was in 1302, where an army of peasants defeated the royal army of France. (First time in history a army of heavy armored, welltrained Knights where defeated in a battle by peasants.)

Snider

He is the twin brother of Pieter, and head of the family. Knight of Cantervern

It is in his personality to do everything fo preserve the safty of his family. He is more the agressive type, and prefers to simply bash someones skull before asking questions. He usually can be found on the nearest battlefield int the frontlines. Despite beeing such a brute, he finds honor rather important.

These days Snider is fighting alongside his king in the war versus Abington.(Atmara)

Pieter

Twin brother of Snider

When Father Noorderlicht died, and he and his brother Snider discussed the legacy, they both claimed the position of Family Head. After weeks of discussion they agreed to duel to first blood to find out who will become the next family head. Snider, in combat much more experienced then Pieter, defeated Pieter, after wich Pieter left the homelands of Minas Ithil to seek fortune in the mercenary real of Darka.

While his brother Snider acts by the sword, Pieter acts by the brain. He will if possibel try to accomplisch a truce when in conflict, and when combat is unevadable, he will rather stand on a hill pourring arrows towards the enemy then he will be seen smashing a club.

These days Snider is fighting with the Darkan army against Abington.(Atmara)

Alexiana (Deleted)

Sister of Snider & Pieter and married to Homus Cornelius.

These days she retired and lives spending her husbands money in the family manor.

Homus Cornelius
