Sigrun and Agnir

 

Accompanying Ingvar to the Giantdowns is his great aunt Sigrun, her husband Agnir Stoneshield, and their young daughter Liv.  Sigrun knows that Ingvar’s half-brothers will resolve the succession dispute when their father finally passes.  She pleaded with her husband to move his farm to the frontier that is the Giantdowns, and convinced Ingvar to seek his fortune where his mother and Sigrun grew up.  It’s a desperate move to protect her only child and by extension her nephew if chooses to travel with them.   

Agnir knows the danger his family is in and the decision to move to the Giantdowns was neither a quick nor an easy decision.  He explored the Giantdowns with Lief decades ago where both found wives but not before facing constant threats of bandits, humanoids, and restless dead.  He’s under no illusion about his daughter’s future in such a hard place, but Lief’s once united family is separating into armed camps.  Agnir is taking his family, his livestock, and the freemen willing to brave the Giantdowns to the lands of his wife and Ingvar’s mother.
