Odinians Family/Orchian

Orchian Odinians

One of the former heads of the Odinians family, it was under his guidance that the Odinians rose to become nobility. He as his ancestors before him, continued to change the family while sticking to their warrior and blacksmithing heritage. He decided after saving a noble and being offered land and nobility status, to start his only son Roric on a new educational path, he began teaching him, and learning himself, the finer art, sculpting, painting, music, and other such thing. Orchian was a great believer in the families Way of the Orchid Wolf. So much so that after he learn how to sculpt at 25, he began sculpting one of the greatest prizes of the family, a statue of the Orchid Wolf. Orchian and the family wandered for many years, never finding a place the considered to be home. They spent much time in Atamara above all other places, loving the rich culture and history. He especially loved the nobles of Carelia, for they were honored warriors who cared much for their history. Later in life his so Roric would marry his first wife and give him a grandson, Wyscot. He was overjoyed, to see the future of the family. 9 months later his second grandson was born, Locke, but at the same time his daughter-in-law, Lian died in child birth. They then spent some time in Itorunt in the east. There and warrior woman named Mina would help heal is son's torn heart. They would soon have a daughter named Kistis. The three children were so different. Wyscot always calm and controlled, Locke wild and emotional, an Kistis was controlled when needed and could cut lose when appropriate. Then when Kistis turn 2, undead attacked, and with no local militia available, the Odinians there took to arms to defend, Orchian took to directing the civilians to where to go and his family and where to defend. At the end of the day, no lives were lost, but several were injured, the worst was Roric,while defending his wife and children, he was overwhelmed by undead, but he let not one beast through, even after he was paralyzed, he kept the undead at bay. But as he could no longer fight on the battlefield, he could no longer be the head when Orchian could not. Orchian and Roric would not be on good terms the rest of Orchian's life.
