Odinians Family

The Odinians are an old somewhat nomadic family of warriors, they traveled the lands until they one day ran across a man being attacked by bandit, his escort was all but dead, so the they charged into save him and made quick work of the bandits. This man happened to be a rather rich noble who in thanks said that if they ever found land that they wanted he would purchase it for them or in his death the next in line would purchase it for them so they may join the ranks of nobility. Orchian Odinians was the head of the family at the time, and thanked the noble for his kindness. It was years latter that after Orchian died of old age, that leadership was pasted on to his eldest grandchild Wyscot, who chose to settle the family in the continent of Atamara in the Lurgrod region. The traits of Odinians are emerald green eyes and ebony colored hair. The family coat of arms is an arctic wolf holding a purple orchid in its mouth. The colors are Forest green with a dark violet outline.

The Odinians are also little known to be master blacksmiths, but they rarely make weapons or armor for anyone outside their family. Odinians made gear is considered top quality, but despite this, only the Odinians wield their weapons or armor because only a "true friend of the Orchid Wolf" may have a piece made for them, it is the Odinians highest honor to be given their weapons or armor.

The Orchid Wolf

The Orchid Wolf is said to be the guiding spirit of the Odinians that leads them down the path of justice. The first mention of the Orchid Wolf is made many hundreds of years ago when the first recorded Odinians is mentions. Bolgar Odinians was a barbaric warrior would could fell whole troops of men without tiring, he loved the battlefield, the challenge of taking on armies said to rival the power of the gods. One day he sat atop a pile of bodies that seemed to have no end in a field of orchid outside of a forest. It was winter yet the flower still lived. He looked upon a wolf coming in to the field. He stood up to challenge the wolf, and then roared to the wolf," Will you challenge me too beast?" The wolf just bowed his head and shook it, " No," is spoke, startling Bolgar, " I am but a cub, but my alpha will as you have trespassed in his home." Then a gigantic white wolf, the size of an elephant came from the forest. "You dare trespass in my home, threaten my child, and call us beasts, you are the beast human, you kill for fun, I kill for food, you fight for glory, I fight for survival." The wolf's word struck anger in him, so without thinking he charged them wolf, but it did not move, and then as Bolgar struck, the white wolf stomped its paw knocking Bolgar on his rear, bearing his teeth at his neck. Bolgar did not tremble in fear but bowed his head and laughed, "You have beaten me wolf, I have never been beaten with this sword I forged as a boy in my father's shop, you must be fearless to have done this." "No, I feared much human, I feared for my cub growing without his father, I feared for packs saftey without me to guard them and provide food for them, I feared that other creatures of the forest would come take my packs lands from them, so I must survive to guard them, they make me strong. My fear makes me strong." This struck Blogar, fear, making one strong, fear made all his foes fall in battle. Seeing Bolgar's confusion, the wolf spoke more. "Yes fear can kill anything human, but if you overcome it, and do what is right, you gain more strength than if you fight without fear. Do you human have anything you would die for because you fear losing it?" Silence stayed for a while, then Blogar spoke, " Yes, my wife and unborn child, without them, my life would mean nothing." "Then why do you make more foes for yourself human, they will just want more blood for the blood you have stolen from them, and your family will pay for you actions if you do not change." "What do I do then, to change and protect my family great wolf, what does this foolish Bolgar need to do?" "You must learn a new way to live, take you family, and I will lets you live with my pack Bolgar, if you make an honest effort to change, we will teach you how to walk among the orchid fields without destroying them, and once you can do that, you will be ready to walk among man again Blogar, and you will be able to help other like yourself become protectors of what is precious and not destroyers of it." And with that, the Orchid Wolf walked with Bolgar into he forest through the fields, and changed the fate of this man and his family.
