​ The Story of the House of oldmanjohn

After hearing of stories and tales of lands across the great sea in lands where Thule lived in peace with Gaeldor it was time to set his Sword and Shield down and move to more peaceful lands. John was in many great battles and his eyes shown of nothing but stone. He was a quite man with very few words. Many wondered what happened to him in the fields and forests he fought upon, but none dared to ask in fright of what may become of them. It was time to leave this land and begin a new seed.

The journey across the sea took many months and it took its toll on the crew. But John pushed on for he sensed land would soon be near and so it was. He followed the land south and west till he found a great river. And thus he followed the river till he came across a small town. The sight here was ghostly. There were many buildings, and surrounded by them where Stone towers and great walls. Hardly the sight of peace he had in mind. When he stepped off on to the docks he only saw a few people, most of them were tired from chasing rats all day and there was a trader in the courtyard. He felt tired himself and wished to rest but it seemed there was a large infestation of rats in this new land. It’s been quite some time since he wielded his sword and shield and his old bones struggled with the weight, but he knew he had to press on and make a home for himself and his people he brought with him. After building a hut and speaking with some of the Thular in these lands he realized that this place isn't full of peace after all. Many beasts are outside the walls and they are mostly deadly creatures no Thular has faced before.

The lord of the Ouroboros Vakr invited John to join his clan. Ouroboros was the main fighting force of the lands and hand many forts to protect streams which produced magical gems, Gold, silver and tin. At this time there was peace amongst the Thular and Gaeldor but in times before there was war between the two. He did not trust the Gaeldor and still not to this day. In time John was giving the role to create a new town called New-Thule. A town envisioned so great that all the men would want to come and see this glorious place. Protected from the west by East watch and by north by Llewyn's Rest this ground would be impossible to take with out great losses by who ever tired to take it. And at the heart of this land would be the House of Ouroboros.

But there was one problem. Creatures called gnolls lived in these lands and they were very skilled in the art of archery and there were many of them. There were also creatures in the vines that came from no where and pulled you to the ground with no escape. Trying to build in these lands would take an army to clear the forest and towers and walls would need to be constructed for the safety of those who came to work. After months of felling trees to the ground a tower arose and people began to feel safe. Oldmanjohn spent many days and night's watching over his people and protecting them as they worked.

After many months of battling the gnolls in the forest a great shadow was cast over the sky. People would just disappear in the middle of the day or night. This posed a problem for John and he decided to put work on hold in this land. He sealed off the area and went into a great sleep praying to the gods for what to do next.

When John awoke the lands have taken a great change. New monsters were in the lands and new places were to explore. Most of brygga walls and towers have fallen. Springs have sprung into the world and with it valuable metal. And to the east of New-Thule a vast open land full of streams and springs which hold many riches to those who hold them which have started strife amongst the people here. Mighty Siege Weapons have taken ground and in the time to come John fears he will see more death before him. The many creatures that once stood in the lands have moved to a Mystical place that they Pembor or the West lands. The gnolls sick of fighting the House of Oldmanjohn have taken up into the hills just north of New-Thule hoping to trap those to dare to enter.

John has decided in continuing the dream he once had of making a town greater then brygga in New-Thule but more important things have come to put this on hold. Trolls are in the caves to the east and Unicorns are in the north. New-Thule needs protection from the great lands in the east and so a great stone wall will be built to shelter those from the east. The only one that the House of Oldmanjohn ad hears to is Lord Vakr who takes many journeys to far off lands. Although he looks for peace he sense war will come to him by the Gaeldor who've been made outcasts. He will continue to support those that have become his friends in Clan Raven.
