Tyreslagter Family

Short history of the Tyreslagters

To the victor goes the spoils. Shame my name ain't Victor!

-- reputedly the last words uttered by Predbjørn Tyreslagter when his ship sank with no survivors.

Styrbjørn - Requiescat In Pace

The original Tyreslagter. Spent over 750 days in Perdan, serving as military commander and twice as Lord of a region and once as Duke of Aix. Emigrated after growing sick of the childish attitudes of the council. Believing himself quite the infiltrator, he was proved wrong when, in the course of mere days, he was caught twice and executed by the villainous Moonglum.

Thorbjørn

The next-oldest brother. Has served Talerium all his life, and with distinction. Posts held include Duke of Chocxal, Judge, Minister of Defense, some Countships and he is currently serving as Prime Minister. He distrusts mercenaries.

Predbjørn - Requiescat In Pace

Younger brother of Thorbjørn. Starting his noble career in Caligus, he was soon disenchanted with the leaders and emigrated to the New World. Here, he had the bad fortune to join the Athol Collective which was just being eradicated by Rines Republic. He tried to join Rines, but was deported by the Prime Minister. While en route back to the East Continent, his ship ran into a typhoon and sank with all hands.

Predbjørn II

The younger brother of Predbjørn (no, their father wasn't very creative with names). Starting his noble career in Ibladesh, he was soon disenchanted with the leaders and emigrated to the New World. Here, he joined Silantin and helped found the puppet realm Ozgard. After its fall at the hands of Mesh he emigrated again, this time to the wartorn South-East Island. Here, he was first elected King and after abject diplomatic and military failure he abdicated and was elected Judge. Having had enough of seeing his subjects screw up everything, he emigrated back to Beluaterra and joined Melhed. Even though he was quickly made Banker, Melhed proved a bad fit, being a realm of thugs and ruffians. Fronen was much better, and he is currently seeking glorious death here among the monsters and undead. He has a physical disability; a monster once bit off his arm. He has just been elected Prime Minister, and is facing the hard task of rebuilding Fronen after the invasion.

Asbjørn

The youngest of the five brothers. Started out as a zealous crusader in Rancagua, but soon longed for a more quiet life. He emigrated to the Colonies, where he is now serving as Arch Priest and Duke in Wetham.

Valdbjørn

Until a short time ago, nobody knew Valdbjørn was a part of the family. As Styrbjørn's illegitimate son, he had been living in Arcachon with his mother and kid sister all his life. After Styrbjørn's death, he has learned his father's true identity and taken up his way of life as a nobleman of birth. Having spent two weeks among the noblemen of Archahon, Valdbjørn realized that he would never fit in among the people who had until recently been his divine superiors. As a consequence, he decided to emigrate to the newly discovered continent called the South-West Island, where he is the first member of the realm called Ikalak. As his first action, he had some documents forged and claimed the title of Duke of Ikalak. During the Long Night (OOC: The week-long pause of July '05) Valdbjørn lost his post, but soon hereafter he was elected as Ikalak's first ruler and successfully transformed the realm into a Theocracy, serving as its first Pontifex Maximus.
