Othar

I (Othar) write in this library like others have for a record of who I am and my time here in the Forest.

My birth clan was Minor Clan Sigla in fealty to Clan Vigdis. Clan Sigla’s holdings being bordered by a sea and reefs mean that a large number of our resources involve fishing as well as hunting in the forests. A small but proud clan life focused on survival rather than extending power or influence.

My father Omar the Storm Navigator is renowned for being able to pilot a ship through the roughest of storms. When I was found as a babe tied to wreckage floating out of in the sea; it was to him and my mother Thora the Bird’s Call, the clan council gave me to raise as their own alongside their child Torvald who would be known as Torvald the Wave Breaker.

During my childhood it was found that I had the eye needed for a master crafter, but my talent was to be found in trading. With that I could use my talents to help the clan in all trading negotiations.

I (Othar) came through the Steel Door in the early Autumn gather after having been dragged down to the bottom of the sea by the wreckage of a trading ship I was on. Discarding my armor to get loose from the wreckage I saw an open door and swam towards it and into the Forest.

I (Othar) have now joined Clan Geirolf here in the Forest. I stand with my new Clan Brothers and Sisters as together we are stronger. My thoughts still go to my birth Clan and I hope to use what I can learn and what resources I can spare to send back to clan Sigla.
