Johnsson Family
The Johnsson Family History
The Johnsson family were once rulers of a far spread empire on islands, far isolated from the rest of the world. But a few hundred years ago something horrible happened, a plague killed almost every peasant, pig, horse and even noble of the empire. Some tried to escape on boats, but almost all of those died to hunger or thirst, if they were not already infected with the plague.
But a few survived, these survivors tried to either live on on these islands, or load big ships with enough food to try to find new lands, that were not hit by this plague. The ones that traveled away with ships traveled for a long time before seeing land
One day a few of the ships arrived on Atamara, one of six islands within travel range of eachother. A seventh being talked about from time to time, which can only be reached by certain people.
The Johnssons were not known much on the islands and were minor nobles for a long time, until Karl, Sven and Harold started their careers. Their father is Gustav Johnsson, who died in battle 3 years after Sven's birth.
There were also several bastards who belived they were Johnssons. One of which being Jon.
