Norse Reavers: Tommy "Punk" Fransson
The fierce Norse ravages the northern coasts of the Empire and Kislev, however they are
great sailors and have raided as far as Ulthuan, Lustria and the Southlands. They sail in
dragon-headed vessels known as Longships, these ships have a very shallow draft that
allow them to sail in dangerously shallow waters or to beach on shores without damaging
their hulls.
Norse holds no fear of death in battle, as they believe that when they die in battle they
will come to Valhalla. There they will feast and fight for an eternity together with every
brave Norse killed in battle. Every Norse child is raised to fight with a shield and a sword
or axe and they succesfully combine farmlife or sailing with warriorhood. This makes
Norse settlements hard to raid as even the Norse that farm the fields do so with an axe or
sword within reach. Each Norse sailor is both a sailor and a warrior, though warrior first
and raiders when the opportunity arises.
The first Norse to succesfully penetrate into the seas around Lustria was Losteriksson, of
all the Norse before him he was the only one who lived to return to Norsca and tell his
tale. This tale is told at most feasts and every time a band of brave Norse embark on a
Longship to seek out the riches of Lustria themselves.

Among the Norse live a few unlucky individuals with their blood tainted by a wolf-curse.
They are known as Ulfwereners, or Wolfwarriors, and when Morrslieb is high their
tainted blood roar with bloodlust and they transform into a wolf. But such is the power of
the tainted blood that whenever the Norse mind is filled with anger and thought of
bloodshed the wolf threaten to appear.

All Norse are fearsome in battle, screaming blood freezing war cries and single-handedly
charging enemies with no though of their own safety. Many warriors activly work
themselves into a foaming frenzy, though this also includes consuming vast quantities of
beer prior to the battle.
