Sawtooth Spire light be sinister

[table width=85%][tr][td]

Kjalarr’s ears taper back to rest at half mast atop his skull as she muses to herself about his ‘title’ and raises his lips at her words. He desires to argue that it is no title, that it is a name given to him by Odinn himself (or Ragnar who might as well be one in the same now) but doubts that she will even listen. He does not need her validation. He has been Kjalarr for most of his life and has no inclination to change it. He is Kjalarr and that is that. “Not everyone can be born a viking,” He speaks simply. “if they are willing and the gods are willing to accept them why should they be turned away?” Her statement shows just how new she is to Teekon Wilds and the northman lets out a low snort. “Besides, you will come across very few northmen and women in these Wilds. There is no where near enough of us to make a pack of true born vikings.” Kjalarr knew of one other he had met that was not related to him but whether the man remained or not was a mystery. Gyda remained, as far as he was aware (despite that he is far out of the loop as far as family goes, oops), but he doubted she would leave what she’d built on Sleeping Dragon to follow a younger brother.

He listens to her words but they mean little to him. Her father and aunt might have spent time here but they have not stayed. Eshe speaks that her father carved his legacy from her homeland not the Teekon Wilds and Kjalarr cannot help but think that if he is as elitist as his daughter it is no wonder why. Kjalarr cannot be an elitist without being a hypocrite. His mother was a convert viking as was his father’s second wife: the priestess; and it is as he spoke to her: she would be hard pressed to find a group of viking wolves just meandering about the Wilds continently looking for someone to follow. If there was a group big enough no doubt they would have already staked a claim. “We are alike on that single thing, then.” Both striving to build a legacy bigger than their father’s before them; Kjalarr cannot help but wonder if it is enough? Clearly, the gods ordained this meeting but where it is fated to go is still a mystery to Kjalarr though he believes already it is leaning towards competition than affiliation. She can do what she wants, join him or attempt to make her elitist viking pack but she could do it far away from his Spire because the only way Kjalarr was going to relinquish it to her — or anybody for that matter — was by being pried from his cold corpse.
