![]() While carrying out the order, they noticed Hallvard, a notorious former member of the Mársmidr who had fled Strand months ago after stealing from his gang, following the two varls Olaf and Ulfvalgr, and a boy Stefnir. The killings ignited a gang war, decimating the ranks of both gangs, with the City Watch of Strand arresting some of the rest.Įirik and Valgard were later sent to infiltrate a caravan coming into the city, in order to keep a lookout for anyone smuggling goods, and were told to mark carts of merchants involved in bribing the guards. The two men finished off nearly everyone there who hadn't been killed by the opposing gang member, but one of them was able to escape and call for reinforcements, leading both to flee. Eirik soon shoved Valgard into the Glotta-Oxs, which led to a violent armed brawl. When members of the Glotta-Ox and Oerr-Brandr gathered at Veggr's Drinking Hall for a drink, both men pretended to get into a fistfight. As part of his plan, he disguised himself as a refugee named "Thorgils", asking them to be smuggled into Strand and agreeing to become a member to pay the debt, while Valgard did the same with the Oerr-Brandrs. Under the orders of steward Olvir, Eirik infiltrated one of the gangs called the " Glotta-Ox", who were locked in a violent feud with another gang called the " Oerr-Brandr", about two months before the Third Great War, in order to destroy both gangs who operated in the slums of Hundgaman. Although Eirik saw the Vaka'auga spymaster Leiknir among the assailants as they fled, he was unable to have him convicted. About a year before the Third Great War, he traveled with the governor's legitimate son Ragnar for inspecting Karlshus, and saved his life from an attack by the Aetla Hilmir, who had been motivated by the Vak'auga to prove that they were willing to take over Strand. In time, Eirik came to be reputed as one of the most able agents of the Guard and was nicknamed the "Iron Turtle" due to his knack for survival.ĭuring his time at the Great Hall, Eirik formed close friendships with his fellow agent Valgard and Strand's official blacksmith Gylfi. This allowed him a bed and living quarters of his own, something he was thankful for even if the amenities were unremarkable. He was eventually able to join the Governor's Guard due to his cunningness and fighting ability. When he was fourteen, she started suffering from a pox disease called the "Northern Chills" and wrote a letter, before instructing him to take it to the governor at the Great Hall in case she died, which she did a week later.Įirik went to the Great Hall to honor his late mother's last wishes, but was turned away twice before the Governor's Steward Olvir noticed him and took him under his care after reading the letter. ![]() As his mother was poor, this left his family lacking in having basic amenities, although she was secretly gifted enough money at regular intervals for his education. Eventually he earned himself the nickname "The Iron Turtle".Įirik is the illegitimate son of the current governor of Strand and a bar maid. Plenty of warring clans within Strand have tried to take him down, none have succeeded. Eirik is the guy who gets stuff done for the governor of Strand, though for a man with a heavy responsibility he seems to have an awful lot of freedom in his methods.
