A night black as coal, the moon hidden behind the clouds. The forest of Westleef was quiet, aside from the wind, and nocturnal animals that had come out to play. It was pure darkness for miles with the only shred of light coming from a torch, slowly moving through the wooded area. The torch’s flame illuminated the area surrounding it, revealing who was holding the torch.
The owner of said torch was a human male of intimidating stature, a Viking berserker adorned with a bear pelt cloak, with the bear’s head serving as a hood. He was so big and frightening you could accidentally confuse him for a bear. His name was Asbjorn, a warrior feared for his sheer brutality, and immense physical strength, nothing could put him down once he got angry. He walked through the woods with haste, trying to reach the other side under the impression that there was a village there.
On his back his axe and shield rested, his free hand balled into a fist, ready for a fight. As he made it to the end of the forest, and out into the open plains again, he saw the town of Greenhorne, a peaceful village adjacent to Westleef, the two towns separated by a forest where travelers would often congregate for drinks and merrymaking. He entered the town tavern affectionately named: “Elderberry Tavern.” He entered and sat down at the bar, slamming a few coins on the table. He shouted to the barkeep, “A pint of Meadow Mead, and make it hard!”
The barkeep nodded and took the coins before going to make his drink. As he waited, he looked around, eyeing everyone in the tavern to see if anyone was a threat, any fighter or spell caster in the place was already tipsy, or too engrossed in their conversations to notice the giant of a man sitting at a barstool. He stopped looking around when his eyes landed squarely on a girl, a fair one at that. He felt compelled to go and talk with her. He stood up, but immediately sat back down muttering under his breath, “Asbjorn, you’re on a quest for your homeland! Do not get distracted!” He just kept staring at her from across the bar, enamored by her beauty.
