The Nordost Kin

Warband overview

For the other players: who they are and what they want.

Nordost was a holding of longhouses and pine forest in the cold north of Ostland, and it belongs to the Nordost family no longer. What drove them out, they do not discuss with strangers. They walked south through a hard winter and buried kin at the roadside as they went — brothers, wives, children — until only this handful reached the Reik. Hardy folk, raised on thin soil and long nights, they have come to the City of the Damned because it is the one place in the Empire where a family with nothing left can still dig a fortune out of the ground. They mean to earn enough wyrdstone to buy land somewhere quiet, raise longhouses again, and never speak of the road south.

Chapter I

The Nordost settlement in north-eastern Ostland lay where the edge of the Forest of Shadows meet the rolling plains. Not much more than a collection of longhouses, pastures and outbuildings, it was populated with generations of different branches of the Nordost family. The settlement was a harsh place - but it was home.

In the fall of 2002 IC, a lone priest arrived at the settlement, Skalle. What happened next continue to be a point of contention, but no one will deny that just one season later, the shadow of blight fell over the settlement. The harvest failed. Newborn calfs were stillborn or worse, born with two heads and beaks in place of mouths.

A branch of the family was convinced that the priest brought the blight. They set out one moonless night to lynch the priest when, seemingly out of nowhere, the priest sounded the old bell tower in a way that hadn’t been done in generations. The settlement was under attack. Warriors of Chaos was at their doorstep.

The men and women of Nordost mounted a brave defense. Ragnar, one of the ogre farmhands, singlehandedly downed a charging Chaos horseman by tackling the steed - buying several households, including many children, time to get away. Skalle surprised everyone by calling forth swarms of ravens and thick blue lightning-crackling mist that plunged the settlement into chaos.

A huge Chaos warrior had cornered Agnar when, out of the mist, Skalle swooped in. Agnar could have sworn the priest briefly had a pair of jet-black wings, like those of the swarms of ravens still swirling all around. The priest’s spear nailed the Chaos warrior to the barn wall before he disappeared into the mist once more. Agnar got away to rally the fleeing family.

Despite their fierce effort, the settlement was about to be overrun and Nordost hunting horns sounded - signaling a retreat into the dark forest.

The fleeing family heard caws and screams from the blue mist as they fled. Hours later, when they arrived at the deep seasonal dwelling in the dark forest, Skalle was already there waiting for them.

Half the settlement died that day, Agnar was now patriarch. A few members hailed Skalle for his aid, but most were even more suspicious of him. The Nordost family were a superstitious lot, and the sign of the raven was seldom a good sign. Some even said they had seen ravens with two heads in those swarms. Agnar’s word was the only reason Skalle had not gotten acquainted with the sharp end of a dagger in the night since.

The forces of Chaos moved on, but not before they burned all the building, plowed cursed runes in the fields surrounding the settlement, ritually slaughtering all the farm animals and filled the plowed ditches with their sacrifice. Nothing would ever grow or live there again, and they all knew it. The Nordost settlement was lost and the family homeless.

The forest dwellings they fled to were meant for a handful of people and seasonal grazing for herds of oxen. It could not support dozens of people, many old and some just children. They would have to move on. The family gathered up the few animals that got out of their pastures and stables in the chaos. With not much more than the clothes on their back, a few makeshift wagons and animals in tow, they headed south in search of a new life.

They are currently settling in on the outskirts of Mordheim, where they are hoping to find riches and rebuild a new home.

Night 3 · Aubentag, 12th of Pflugzeit
Agnar Nordost was stood a drink by a stranger in grey oilskins who asked nothing and left. The drink was good. The silence after it was not. Somebody started the song about the Baron's shutters. Everybody knew the words. Nobody would sing the third verse.
What Agnar did Sing the third verse. Agnar sang it. The Flagon roared, and then checked the windows.
Carouse, a fair night
Night 5 · Backertag, 14th of Pflugzeit
Agnar played skittles in the Flagon's yard until the lantern went out. Lost, mostly. Was asked back. The whole Flagon was drinking to the hanged man. Agnar drank to him twice. In the Flagon a Watch sergeant, deep in his cups, said the name of somebody in The Nordost Kin and a price for it.
What Agnar did Buy him another and hear the rest. Two more cups and he named the buyer, or a buyer. Agnar paid for the cups and remembered the name.

A man with no fingers on his left hand was rattling bones in a cup at the corner table and wanted a game. He was winning against people who had all their fingers.

Tale
No one knows anything of Skalle’s life before he arrived at the Nordost settlement one stormy night two seasons ago. The family would have turned him away if it wasn’t for the fact they had need for someone who knew herbs and healing, and who knew the rites of the seasons to bless the harvest and keep evil away.

A odd man, who often makes odd comments that might not make much sense at the time, but that sometimes seems to carry profound meaning later. Some say he has the third eye, and can glimpse the future. Others say he just ramble enough that he’s eventually right about some things. He was tolerated, but never liked in the settlement.

Saved the Nordost settlement from complete destruction by ringing the warning bell and summoning crows and mist allowing many Nordost family members to flee the slaughter. Some believe he attracted the invaders somehow in the first place. While a few are thankful, most are suspicious of him and his crow feather adornments.

Their chronicle

2 battles fought, 1 won · 8 put out of action · 4 of their own taken out · 36 nights out after curfew

36 nights are folded between the battles.

The Merchant’s Debt
Marktag, 5th of Pflugzeit, 2004 IC — Victory against The Bitterbrow Expedition · 7 brought
Held the watchtower through Baldur’s defence, occupied the gem merchant’s shop through Torgrim, and overcame Flint’s rear-ruin defence through Biorn and Ragnar. Skalle’s entangling vines delayed the canal crossing, and the kin’s coordinated fighting put five Bitterbrows out of action.
Finest moments: Baldur held the watchtower, Torgrim occupied the shop, and Biorn and Ragnar overcame the rear ruin’s defender. Skalle delayed the canal crossing, buying time for the kin to seize their positions. Biorn and Ragnar overcame Norri’s evasions through a coordinated attack.
Darkest moments: Mjølnir lost a hand to the fighting in the watchtower. Jorgrim broke away from Baldur and put Skalle out of action. Torgrim’s elevated shooting position yielded no damage, and the cellar’s promised riches remained unconfirmed.
Put out of action: Gammling Gubbsson; Norri Stonebrew; Orri Ormsson; Grakki Dourhammer; Flint Mudbeard
Taken out: Mjølnir Nordost; Skalle
Their part in full
22 nights in Mordheim and FussenbachFestag, 10th of Pflugzeit to Bezahltag, 14th of Sigmarzeit
1. Night 1 · Festag, 10th of Pflugzeit
  Agnar Nordost sat with the boatmen in the Broken Bell. They know their face now. The whole city was drinking to the hanged. Agnar drank to them twice.
  Agnar Nordost: Carouse, a fair night · brought back Lucky Bone
  Ragnar went to the ruins by Sigmar's Bridge and found the shrine already full. Stood at the back. Left early. The two of them did not speak on the way home.
  Ragnar: Pray, a poor night
2. Night 2 · Wellentag, 11th of Pflugzeit
  Biorn took a bout at the Pit and took a bruise for it. The crowd was fair. The crowd is never fair. The Pit drew the overflow from the gibbets. They wanted more of what they had seen.
  Biorn Nordost: Train, a fair night
  Torgrim Nordost paid a child in the cattle market a penny for a rumour and got three. Two were true.
  Torgrim Nordost: Spy, a good night · brought back Whisper · heard a rumour
3. Night 3 · Aubentag, 12th of Pflugzeit
  Agnar Nordost was stood a drink by a stranger in grey oilskins who asked nothing and left. The drink was good. The silence after it was not. Somebody started the song about the Baron's shutters. Everybody knew the words. Nobody would sing the third verse.
  What Agnar did Sing the third verse. Agnar sang it. The Flagon roared, and then checked the windows.
  Agnar Nordost: Carouse, a fair night
  Ragnar sat with Father Justinian while he sharpened, and prayed while he did not. By dawn he had stopped sharpening.
  Ragnar: Pray, a good night
4. Night 4 · Marktag, 13th of Pflugzeit
  Biorn watched the Bitterbrow Expedition from the mill bridge. Somebody there was watching back.
  Biorn Nordost: Spy, a fair night · heard a rumour
  Baldur climbed the cliff path below the manor and lay under the study window until the light changed colour. It changed twice.
  Baldur Nordost: Spy, a good night · heard a rumour
5. Night 5 · Backertag, 14th of Pflugzeit
  Agnar played skittles in the Flagon's yard until the lantern went out. Lost, mostly. Was asked back. The whole Flagon was drinking to the hanged man. Agnar drank to him twice. In the Flagon a Watch sergeant, deep in his cups, said the name of somebody in The Nordost Kin and a price for it.
  What Agnar did Buy him another and hear the rest. Two more cups and he named the buyer, or a buyer. Agnar paid for the cups and remembered the name.
  Agnar Nordost: Carouse, a fair night
  Ragnar said the rites over an unmarked grave in Morr's Garden because nobody else would. The chain on the next stone went slack.
  Ragnar: Pray, a good night · brought back Millwright’s Knot
6. Night 6 · Bezahltag, 15th of Pflugzeit
  Baldur Nordost sold a story at the Flagon's back table along with the goods. The story fetched more. The chandler did brisk business in the effects of the dead.
  Baldur Nordost: Trade, a good night
  Torgrim Nordost lit candles at the shrine and a villager asked them to bless a spear. Torgrim did. It was not the first spear that night. They came back by different lanes and arrived at once. The village noticed. The village notices.
  Torgrim Nordost: Pray, a fair night
7. Night 8 · Angestag, 17th of Pflugzeit
  Baldur Nordost kept the usual arrangement on the lower docks. The usual coin.
  Baldur Nordost: Trade, on standing orders

  Torgrim Nordost: Pray, on standing orders
8. Night 10 · Wellentag, 19th of Pflugzeit
  Baldur kept the arrangement. The arrangement kept them. The buyer at the tollhouse held it up to the sky and the sky was the same colour. He paid in a hurry.
  Baldur Nordost: Trade, on standing orders
  Torgrim prayed at the usual hour. The village has started to set its clocks by it.
  Torgrim Nordost: Pray, on standing orders

10. Night 14 · Bezahltag, 23rd of Pflugzeit

  Torgrim Nordost: Pray, on standing orders
12. Night 18 · Wellentag, 27th of Pflugzeit
  Baldur sat in the Flagon's window and watched the wharf while pretending to drink. The landlord pretended not to notice. Fair all round. The Flagon's fire would not draw and the room filled with the smell of somewhere else burning. A man with no fingers on his left hand was rattling bones in a cup at the corner table and wanted a game. He was winning against people who had all their fingers.
  What Baldur did Watch from the bar. The river does not wait for orders, and neither did Baldur. Baldur watched three men lose. One of them said something worth keeping.
  Baldur Nordost: Carouse, a fair night · decided alone
  Torgrim Nordost dug at the drowned orchard and the ground moved back. Nothing green. Nothing said. The two of them met on the mill bridge at the third hour without arranging it.
  Torgrim Nordost: Dredge, a poor night
13. Night 20 · Marktag, 29th of Pflugzeit
  Baldur prayed for the bargemen who did not come back. Nobody knew their names. Sigmar presumably does. The candles guttered in the draught and had to be relit twice.
  Baldur Nordost: Pray, a fair night
  Torgrim Nordost spent the night in the tithe barn's loft. Two of the Watch met below to divide silver. They divided it three ways.
  Torgrim Nordost: Spy, a good night · heard a rumour
14. Night 22 · Bezahltag, 31st of Pflugzeit

  Torgrim Nordost: Pray, a poor night
15. Night 24 · Angestag, 33rd of Pflugzeit
  Baldur Nordost helped Father Justinian count the candles. He counts them the way Captain Hauer counts his men. Neither count comes out right. A witch hunter knelt in the front row of the shrine. Father Justinian stopped counting spears. The Bitterbrow Expedition had been to the shrine first. Their candles were still burning. Baldur lit their own beside them. Father Justinian asked Baldur, quietly, whether The Nordost Kin would stand in the nave with spears on the Silent Moon. He did not say against what.
  What Baldur did Say they will ask the others. The Father nodded as if he had heard that before.
  Baldur Nordost: Pray, a fair night
  Torgrim traded with the eel-men, who pay in eels and coin in a ratio they will not explain. Fair, probably.
  Torgrim Nordost: Trade, a fair night
16. Night 26 · Wellentag, 2nd of Sigmarzeit

  Baldur Nordost: Pray, a good night
  Torgrim Nordost sold to the chandler and the chandler sold to the manor, and the manor's men came asking where the chandler got it. The chandler said.
  Torgrim Nordost: Trade, a poor night

  Baldur Nordost knelt in the usual place. The stone has a mark now.
  Baldur Nordost: Pray, on standing orders
