The Væborg Chronicle
Opening Theme
a Groznyverse story
“I've always longed to travel and tame new lands - to exceed what the Ancients have failed to provide for us. Alas, the belligerence of the old ways can be as bitter as the new. In the end, unambitious gods are useless to my cause. Neither Aedain nor Aerilia will stand in the way of my vision. The age of the gods is over, it is time for mankind to forge their own fate.”

Sigrid Ravenchild
Proem
Ever since the defeat of the Daemon Lord, the land of Karelia has yet to recover from the devastation of the Great Crusade. Plagued by aetherial beasts that stalked the land, many northerners have chosen to shut themselves from the rest of the world. Following the collapse of the Venelian Empire, ancient knowledge and interactions would subsequently fade into oblivion, ironically bringing about the dark age of Grozny's Dawn of Humanity. As humanity returns to petty rivalries and began to devolve, a young soul in the north would change the course of Groznyan history forever. As the apocryphal legends went, the child of the Raven emerged from the sacred Lundevald Forest, wielding a fragment of Aedain's lost tooth (an axe) and bearing the pelt of an Elvar Serpent. And so it came to pass that a stranger had arrived on the shores of Vaeborg, becoming the testament of the forgotten prophecy. Sporting hair as red as Syr's cloak, the young girl came to seek the Jarl Sten Mavenson of Vaeborg for a reward. They would be named Sigrid Ravenchild by the Jarl for their beauty and victorious feat against the Elvar Serpent that has terrorized the population since the beginning of time. Their namesake paid honor to the enigmatic prophecy that foretold of their arrival.
Tuta was a land of seafaring warriors and hardy woodsmen, so much so that their capacity to look outward had been restricted by the old ways - the very thing that the audacious Sigrid despised the most. In her vision, she imagined a land of opportunity that would go down in history and not just another village to be forgotten by the sea.
Battles after battles, and wars after wars, Sigrid found herself becoming the Jarl's greatest instrument in eliminating their oppositions and competitors. Thrusted into battle against men and beasts, Sigrid had grown tired of Sten's limited views of the world. Unsatisfied of her capacity as nothing more than a slayer, Sigrid began to gather like-minded warriors to join her cause to explore the world. Stirred by the tales of strange lands and promises of treasures, the young warrior was keen on sailing to the end of the world. Accompanying Sigrid since her rise to fame as the Raven Child was the renowned Hargrimm Stonewall, the Jarl's trusted thane, of whom had begun to share Sigrid's visions. Rather than relaying news of Sigrid's plan to sail west, Hargrimm kept his piece unspoken. Upon a fair night in spring, Sigrid stole a ship alongside her gathered allies and set sail for the edge of the world - in a quest to realize her ambitions.
