Neill Family

The Viking Clan of O'Neil

The Viking Clan of O'Neil hails from the thick forests outside of the great city of Makar that once was the very edge of the frozen borders of the Barony of Makar on the continent of Atamara. For many generations the Clan kept to itself in the forests preferring to hunt and gather wealth while letting the outside world pass it by. It is said that the only time an O'Neil ventures from the forest is to take a wife. It has also been said, though never verified since the odes of the Clan are never heard by an outsider's ear, that the Clan was once one of the greatest warrior clans in the land. Rumor has it they were either beaten into submission and hiding or decided to quietly withdraw into the forests in order to preserve what they had for future generations.

The Clan is proud of its hunting and fishing traditions and every son of the Clan is taught to use a bow at an early age, soon followed by such skills as tracking, small axe wielding, and boating (Though boating is only reserved for the bravest and toughest of the O'Neils. They are respectful, but, fearful of the sea.)

It was only a matter of time, however, before one of the Clan grew restless with this life of isolation. And as the fridgid northern snows blew in one winter an O'Neil emerged from the forest with the intent to make a life for himself outside of the forest. And so began the Ode of the Ender.
