Einar Vardr
Einar Vardr
Son of the Red Wolf, heir to Styrbjorn Vardr’s legacy, Einar was expected to bring the same iron-fisted force to the next chapter of Nordheim’s expansion — and at first, he did. In the wake of his father's campaigns, Einar pushed further east of Skogyen into the Eifer wilds. But where his father broke wills, Einar listened.
Something happened in the wilds — a battle turned negotiation, a revelation, a reckoning. Whatever it was, it changed him. Einar made peace with the Eifer clans, and in a gesture that many in Nordheim called weakness, he took an Eifer woman as his wife.
He withdrew from courtly eyes and military ambitions, settling in a small mining village east of Skogbyen, beside his sister. There he tried to raise a quiet family.
When his son Skari was only four, Einar vanished. No body was found. No grave was dug. Only stories remain.
To some, Einar was a coward who fled his blood and banner. To others, a man who saw beyond conquest and chose a different kind of strength. His son remembers him only in fragments
